Netizens criticized aspects of Tori Spelling's appearance at the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball, such as her looks and the age-appropriateness of the outfit worn by the mother of five, who recently spoke about her kids.
Hollywood star Tori Spelling, 51, and her 16-year-old and 13-year-old daughters, Stella and Hattie McDermott, stepped out in style to attend the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on December 6. Although the trio shone brightly on the red carpet, social media users had a lot of criticism to share that was directed at Tori.

Each of the ladies showcased their unique styles for the festive affair. Stella opted for an off-the-shoulders pink top that was long-sleeved and featured cross patterns and other emblems.
She paired this with leather and lace shorts, a black-and-white belt, gray leg warmers, and black Adidas sneakers.

The 16-year-old also adorned her face with a distinct cat-eye makeup look and left her hair loose. Stella's younger sister donned a long-sleeved black dress that ended just above her knee and wore black sneakers.
Completing her look, Hattie accessorized with a necklace and, like her sister, she left her hair loosely falling over her shoulders and down her back.
Hattie and Stella's famous mother sported an outfit that accentuated her svelte physique. The ensemble included a black open-back top shaped like a bow and silver pants.
Adding an extra layer of glam to her look, Tori donned sparkly suspenders attached to her pants and coiled around her neck.

She completed her outfit with closed-toe shoes and styled her locks into a high ponytail fastened together by numerous hair bands and pretty black ribbon bows, one of which was placed at the top of her head. The actress also wore makeup, including eyeliner and pink lipstick.

Others diverted their attention to Tori's physical features, with a reader pondering, "What's wrong with her skin," and someone else questioning, "Spray tan?" Thinking aloud, another AmoMama reader penned, "How much of her is real and how much is synthetic."

"Them [sic] elbows tell the truth," added an observer. Jumping on the criticism bandwagon, a spectator remarked, "All that plastic and look at them dirty elbows 😆," while another brought Tori's daughters into the mix, commenting, "as [sic] far back as I can remember she has been obsessed with her body and modifications. Not a good role model for her daughters."

Our readers weren't the only people passing judgment on the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star, as other social media users, who saw posts showing Tori posing at the event from additional outlets, had opinions to share as well.
"Wish she would be more sophisticated, she's 51….a cleaner classy look would be so much better," opined an Instagrammer.

Another asserted, "What is with the hair? She needs a good stylist who would dress her age appropriately." Focusing on a specific clothing item, a netizen noted, "I couldn't wear that top if my chest area looked like that. I would be too embarrassed." "She always knew how to dress down," highlighted a Facebooker.

On the other hand, some people discussed the resemblance shared between Tori, her daughters, and their father, Dean McDermott. "One looks just like momma, the other like dad! So sweet!" gushed a fan.
Someone else marveled, "Wow, the one on the left clearly has her fathers looks and the one on the left definitely looks like her mom [sic]." "Daughter on the left is Dean's twin and the daughter on the right looks more like Tori," agreed a fellow commenter.

On the same day that Tori attended the iHeart Radio Jingle Ball with Stella and Hattie, the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant released an episode on her podcast "misSPELLING." During the segment, which divulged details from a therapy session the star had with Doctor Hillary Goldsher, Tori spoke about her children.
The mom disclosed how staying together with their father for "far too long" ended up being a "disservice" to her kids. She went on to reveal how both she and Dean had come to a place in their relationship where they were ready to separate and divorce before their youngest child, Beau McDermott, was born.
"But we worked on our relationship, stayed together and I'll never regret not leaving then. I'm sure he wouldn't either, because we wouldn't have had Beau, and Beau is our blessing and our love, and our hearts, and souls. So, I'm grateful," shared "The Mistle-Tones" talent.

However, the doting mom then clarified, "After Beau was born [...] things didn't get better between us, and granted there are still times that I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, it would be so nice to have that extra set of hands in the house. It would be so nice for the kids to be like, 'Okay, mom's there and I see dad's in the other room.'"
Tori revealed how towards the end of their relationship, she and Dean would still do things as a family for the sake of their kids. She also mentioned the tough times their children faced in seeing how disjointed their family was while Dean and Tori were on the outs, but still living in the same house.
Additionally, Tori Spelling admitted that she didn't "separate the family in household terms" sooner and confessed, "It's hard not to have their dad in the house."
Dr. Hillary then spoke about the counsel she gives her clients going through a divorce and the importance of paying close attention to the conceptualization of love that they are upholding for their kids, as this affects how they think of relationships.
She also emphasized the benefit of divorced parents explaining their separation to their kids in an age-appropriate manner that allows the children to understand that their parents are simply better off just being their parents.
