‘It’s very 1988 George Michael!’ Bachelorette viewers can’t take their eyes off James Boggia’s fashion sense as he dons a dangly crucifix earring and a blazer ‘made out of wallpaper’
He made himself known as a contender for Elly Miles’ heart on The Bachelorette.
But baffled viewers couldn’t take their eyes off James Boggia’s fashion sense on Thursday night, which he chose to sport during the tense cocktail party and rose ceremony.
The fiery 28-year-old donned a dangling crucifix earring for the occasion – in a move host Osher Günsberg labelled as ‘very 1988 George Michael’ – and draped his body in a loud blue and gold blazer.
Shook: Baffled Bachelorette viewers couldn’t take their eyes off James Boggia’s (pictured) fashion sense during the tense Thursday night rose ceremony – which included a gold, dangling crucifix earring
Fans couldn’t help but comment on the loud outfit, with one writing: ‘Why is that guy wearing a jacket made of curtains? #BacheloretteAU’
‘Say what you want about James, but he’s the only one who made the effort to sew his outfit tonight using the rose room wallpaper,’ another said.
Even host Osher got involved in the mockery, saying: ‘The Crucifix earring is very 1988 George Michael #BacheloretteAU.’
Unimpressed: Fans could’t help but comment on the loud outfit, with one writing: ‘Why is that guy wearing a jacket made of curtains? #BacheloretteAU’
Not a fan! Viewers in their masses – including host Osher Günsberg – took to Twitter to share their distress over James’ outfit choice
Another fan agreed, adding: ‘Why is no one addressing James’ poor choice in jewellery? What is that earring and gold chain?! That was only OK when George Michael did it.’
After reading a piece of writing to Elly during the cocktail party, one viewer chimed in: ‘He’s like a modern day Keats, if Keats had a really bogan neck tatt and jacket made from lounge fabric.’
During the episode, James was handed a rose just minutes after delivering an emotion-filled speech to Elly.
‘Not feeling the strange gold patterned jacket!’ Ruthless fans slammed the ‘curtain like’ ensemble, which he chose to wear at the cocktail party and the rose ceremony
He revealed how much the blonde beauty, 25, had begun to mean to him, before handing her a rose quartz necklace as a symbol of his passion.
At the end of the chat, he cockily told producers: ‘I think I nailed it, and I got my feelings across in a way that I haven’t done before.
‘And I’m confident I’m not gonna be going home tonight.’
The Bachelorette continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel 10
