At this stage, we’re all well acquainted with Byrne’s bold sartorial choices, but people could not stop talking about this necklace.

There was confusion.

Some were too distracted and couldn’t pay attention.

Did anyone actually figure out what weather is like for the Week.... Jean Byrne dressing crazy normally is to distract us from bad news !!
