Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen has admitted she bought five wedding dresses because she felt “guilty”.

The 34-year-old, who married singer John Legend in 2013, joked about her extravagant purchases on social media.

The conversation began when a fan tweeted her: “One time I saw you at barneys and you bought a Celine bag so you wouldn’t feel guilty about asking to use the bathroom.

“I knew I loved you before but that solidified it.”

Teigen replied: “Wowowowow anyone that knows me knows this is very true all too often.”

She later shared a message from a friend, who was poking fun at her bridal shopping spree.

The friend wrote: “Sort of like that time you bought like 5 wedding dresses you knew you would never actually wear because you felt guilty about ‘just trying on dresses’ which is precisely the point of TRYING ON wedding dresses I love you.”

Teigen shared the message on her Instagram story, along with the reply “THOSE WENT TO GREAT HOMES”, suggesting she may have sold the dresses on afterwards.

The model wore three different dresses on her wedding day, all designed by Vera Wang.

Some criticised Teigen on Twitter, with one person calling her comments “tone deaf” and another writing: “This is one of those Rich People Tweets Chrissy.”

But others defended the TV personality, saying she can “spend her money how she wants”.
