Kelly Stafford recently responded to criticism about her “horrid” outfit in a candid Instagram post.
On Sunday, July 14, the 35-year-old shared her thoughts on the ensemble she wore during a date night with her husband, Matthew Stafford.
The outfit in question was a navy blue ensemble featuring a fitted crop top with rhinestone-embellished straps and matching cutout pants.
“I’ve never been one for style because I’ve never had an eye for it,” Kelly began in her Instagram post. “It’s always about how I feel and what I think my husband will find sexy. I didn’t think this was horrible, but the comments say otherwise.”

Kelly continued to ponder the age-old dilemma of dressing to impress a stylist or one’s significant other. “It’s been a question of mine for quite some time… dress to impress the stylist or my guy? I’ve always found it interesting because it can go either way for anyone… and I believe both are right.”
To engage her followers, Kelly posted a poll asking whether they would prefer to dress to impress a stylist or their partner. An overwhelming 84 percent of her followers said they would rather dress for their significant other.
The reactions to Kelly’s date night outfit were mixed. Some followers were brutally honest with their disapproval. “I’m sorry this is the worst outfit I’ve ever seen,” one person commented, while another described the ensemble as “horrid.” Another follower added, “Love you guys. A hard No to that outfit.”
Despite the negative feedback, Kelly also received praise from other fans. “These comments are crazy… Kelly, you look great and happy with your man!” one fan wrote. Another added, “If you felt beautiful in that outfit, that’s what matters the most!”
For the outing, Kelly paired her unique set with soft glam makeup and a stylish blowout. Meanwhile, Matthew, the 36-year-old starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, opted for a black and white floral patterned shirt and blue jeans.
“A night out at @thebenjaminhollywood,” Kelly captioned a series of photos featuring her and Matthew. “Mom and dad style.” The couple, who share four daughters—twins Sawyer and Chandler, 6, Hunter, 4, and Tyler, 2—enjoyed their evening together despite the differing opinions on Kelly’s fashion choice.
