Panel News 12, Iran's attack on Israel. April 2024/Channel 12 news screen
Let's be honest. If there is something that could not be ignored last night in the tense Saturday night edition, it is the bright look of
presenter and journalist Dana Weiss
. Beyond our existential anxieties due to the Iran attack, we tried not to fall for the "superficial" things on the screen, but really in this case we had no other choice but to vent.
Weiss' color combination opened the edition at the height of his call for an emergency situation, in red, which is known to transmit signs of danger and warnings. It is not new that many journalists and panel participants use the upper part of their clothing in order to convey messages, or less to fit into the news spirit of that broadcast. And so she did.
In a red blazer from the beloved Spanish brand Mango, which remains closed by a button at the bottom. Out of it she stuck out a mustard tank top with a red top hem from Zara (yes, let's say we appreciate the fitting attempt that was there). On a normal day, we would pass by a look that includes a reddish laser without any problem or delay, but the combination with the mustard shades made the total look look more effortful than usual, and especially problematic to my eyes (and the eyes of the viewers).
It seems that beyond worrying about the drones that were on their way to us, the viewers at home themselves wondered what the plan was with the political commentator's choice of clothing. "What is Dana Weiss Faking wearing," wrote one of the surfers on social networks, and another added: "Really a military target." The whole thing is terribly surprising considering the fact that most of the time Dana is gifted with a refined sense of style, among other things thanks to the help of the channel's dressmaker Dana Yaron, and we even flew over the diversity she brought thanks to her eyeglasses not long ago.
The most prominent moment in which the extremity of Weiss's styling was felt, was in the replacement of the panel moderator after four hours of broadcast. After her came
Yonit Levy
who was like a comforting sedative, thanks to a mirror on the black palette. A basic black top and a matching blazer, which continued the classic line with it from Levy Avenue.
