"There&amp;#x27;s a time and a place for overalls--while harvesting your crops, say, or if you&amp;#x27;re a member of TLC circa 1992--but apparently, nobody told Justin Bieber, because he wore &amp;#x27;em to meet the Canadian prime minister, which the entire internet agreed was totally uncool. Check out the Biebs on Friday afternoon, when he received the Diamond Jubilee Medal from Canadian PM Stephen Harper. His outfit choice for the occasion? A pair of striped overalls with one side unbuttoned, a white T-shirt, and a backwards hat. Gawker pulled no punches and called him a &amp;quot;White Trash Prince,&amp;quot; while other media and tweeters called the look &amp;quot;cringeworthy,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;embarrassing,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;like a farmer who&amp;#x27;s ready to paint walls.&amp;quot; The Biebs first made a joke of the incident, tweeting, &amp;quot;I met the Prime Minister in overalls lol&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I hope you hate my style&amp;quot;... &amp;#x27;&amp;#x27; I hope you hate my style. &amp;#x27;&amp;#x27; - Justin Bieber twitter.com/TeamOurBieber/&amp;amp;#133;&amp;amp;mdash; BELIEBER (@TeamOurBieber) November 23, 2012 ...but he eventually defended himself via an Instagram response: &amp;quot;The pic of me and the Prime Minister was taken in a room in the arena where i was performing at that day. I walked straight from my meet and greet to him, if you &amp;amp;#8220;Hayley&amp;amp;#8221; expect me to have a change of clothes let a loan a suit at that specific time that&amp;amp;#8217;s crazy, It wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t like it was like I was going into his environment we were at a hockey arena. Wow am i ever white trash hayley peterson lol.&amp;amp;#8221; Harper, for his part, handled it like a total pro: In fairness to @justinbieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too. #cdnpoli #beliebers&amp;amp;mdash; Stephen Harper (@pmharper) November 25, 2012 So, now it&amp;#x27;s your turn to weigh in. Was Justin Bieber totally out of line to accept a prestigious award in overalls, or is it really NBD and people need to lighten up? Did he deserve to be called &amp;quot;White Trash Prince&amp;quot;? What do you dolls think of this incident? Discuss!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
