Melissa Gorga of RHONJ is SLAMMED for wearing white to cousin’s wedding as she is accused of ‘upstaging the bride’ – but there was NO bride
Melissa Gorga looked stunning in a low-cut, figure-hugging white dress with gold glitter as she attended a wedding on Saturday.
But the Real Housewives Of New Jersey star was criticized for the color choice.
Haters said the reality TV star put the bride front and center in the revealing white dress.
But there was no bride at the wedding in New York.
That’s because the marriage was between two men: Gorga’s male cousin Nicholas Marco and his partner Mike Masco.
Plus, she was a bridesmaid, so the white dress wasn’t a surprise since both grooms asked her to wear white.

Why hate? But the Real Housewives Of New Jersey star was criticized for the color choice
A Gorga rep confirmed to Page Six Style that the grooms “specifically requested that the bridesmaids wear white and gold.”
The wedding took place at the Cedar Lakes Estate in upstate New York.
Gorga was seen with her cousin, Nicholas Marco, and his current husband, Mike Masco, who both looked dapper in suits.
Even though there was no bride on stage, Melissa was still called “thirsty” because of her white dress.
The dress had a striking design.
It was a deep white dress with sequins and a high slit in one of her long legs.
Her hair was beautifully styled and her makeup was dramatic as she added diamond jewelry.
The dress matched the other bridesmaids.

This comes a month after Melissa showed off her new pool at her mansion in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, which she built from the ground up with husband Joe Gorga.
In an Instagram post shared in August, the TV star revealed that she has a newly designed backyard with all the luxuries a rich person could want.
“My very good friend happens to be an amazing pool designer @thepoolbossnj thank you for giving my family exactly what we wanted,” the Bravo beauty began her caption.
‘The gorg sunbeds are from @thewickery. They have beautiful garden furniture! #rhonj #pooldesign.”
The pool has a shallow area for lounge chairs and is surrounded by four fire pits. There were also two cabanas next to the pool, which made the area look like a luxury resort.
This comes after she had a spectacular trip to Italy.
She made sure to show off her striking bikini body on Instagram.
The 44-year-old Real Housewives Of New Jersey standout looked svelte in the colorful two-piece with an ivory headscarf as she waded in the water in Capri, Italy, in July.
The brunette beauty donned a pair of white framed sunglasses and held a white frosty champagne glass.
Melissa’s caption simply read: “Italy.”
Cheers to that: She held a glass of rose wine as she posed with her dapper husband
The back works well too: the dress had a mermaid finish and crisscross back
The fashion designer spent her summer holiday on Italy’s Amalfi Coast this week.
The Bravo chapter was with her too husband Joe whose sister is Teresa Giudice. Giudice has been to Mykonos, Greece with her husband Luis Ruelas.
The New Jersey beauty was also spotted in a light blue one-piece swimsuit with a black and white skirt as she relaxed during a boat day.
She added a blue patterned scarf and dark oversized sunglasses.
And a beige woven Prada handbag lay next to her as she put on beige strappy sandals.
In Tuesday’s new post, she wrote, “Somewhere in Capri #capri #italy #almaficoast.”
Meanwhile, Teresa also dabbled in swimwear modeling while in Mykonos, Greece with her husband Ruelas. She also looked great in swimwear.
Earlier this week Melissa came in Positano, also on the Amalfi Coast.

The star, who is currently involved in a feud with Giudice, also wrote a short message in the caption of her post that read in part, “Magical is an understatement.”
Gorga and her husband were spotted making the most of their time at what appeared to be a rooftop bar overlooking the holiday destination.
The Bravo cast member wore a flowing green dress that showed off her toned arms during her first night in Positano.
The media figure added several elements of shine to her look with several sparkling bracelets.
Joe opted for a black button-down shirt contrasted with white shorts and matching sneakers.
Melissa then added a photo taken during dinner with her husband of almost 20 years. The reality TV character was also added in a shot to show the outing’s destination at night.
