Molly-Mae Hague finally addresses why she wore 'disrespectful' outfit to Venezuela Fury's wedding
Molly-Mae Hague has spoken out on the backlash she received for wearing an all-black outfit to her niece Venezuela Fury's springtime wedding.
In a brand new vlog, the influencer, 27, recalled feeling 'humbled' by online trolls who quickly criticised her fashion sense after photos emerged from the elaborate Isle of Man ceremony.
The wedding had taken place between 16-year-old Venezuela Fury - the niece of Molly-Mae's partner, Tommy Fury, and daughter of heavyweight boxer, Tyson Fury - and her boyfriend, Noah Price.
While Tommy had skipped out on the festivities, having remained at home in Manchester for training, Molly-Mae attended with their adorable three-year-old daughter, Bambi. The toddler took on the role of one of Venezuela's 18 bridesmaids, wearing a plush cornflour blue dress.

Her mother, meanwhile, wore a sheer black top with floral detailing, suave black trousers and matching black heels.
Molly-Mae - who is currently 37 weeks pregnant with her and boyfriend Tommy's second child - also slicked her golden blonde tresses into a tight bun for the special occasion.
Unfortunately for the Love Island alum, not all onlookers were impressed by her choice of wedding guest get-up, with some critics questioning her decision to wear black to a May wedding.
"Black is a no-no at a wedding, sorry," one Facebook user hit out when the photos were released.
Another agreed: "Black at a wedding?"
It wasn't until last night (26 May) that Molly-Mae addressed her controversial choice, revealing in a YouTube upload that she'd chosen black for a reason.
"We had Venezuela’s wedding two days ago now, it was touch and go whether we were going to go," she said in a video recorded from her car.
"I got severely humbled in the comments, which to be fair, I don’t know why I didn’t expect because the whole time I was saying to myself, if I do go and I haven’t given birth by then, I was like 'I don’t care what I look like'."
Molly-Mae also claimed she hadn't known wearing black to a wedding would prove such a divisive choice.
"Also, since when is it not acceptable to wear black to a wedding? Because I genuinely never thought that guys," she asked. "I saw the comments saying 'I can’t believe she wore black', I didn’t know you couldn’t wear black to a wedding.
"I know technically it’s a funeral colour, but as long as it’s not white and it’s smart, anyway, I can only be described as Bambi’s chaperone for the wedding.
"There was not one part of me that thought about what I was going to look like."
Doubling down, the social media star also insisted she'd wanted to make Bambi the star of the show, so had opted for a low-key number.
"Bambi was asked to be a bridesmaid, and I wanted to honour that and be there for the family and just show up because obviously if you can, that’s what you do," she explained.
Molly-Mae insisted, however, that she had, in fact, put some thought into her outfit.
"I did get that jumpsuit tailored and everything," she continued. "But the hair, I actually had my hair done in the morning, I had this gorgeous bun, but I ended up taking the bun out and slicking my hair back, and you can see my hair bobble and my roots.
"My hair is a different conversation at the minute, it’s grown so much to the point that I expect that I have to be a brunette."
The star recalled: "I did have a bit of a spiral yesterday morning, I don’t know why I didn’t think that… I should have thought that there would be pictures and videos that will come out because in my head I was thinking about the wedding and obviously it’s their day and about them.
"I’m so so so glad we went because it was such a nice day and I fear that Bambi will never ever get over it."
