Examples

“[David] Beckham donning a sarong was taken as incontrovertible proof that Posh had somehow managed to steal him from the world of men, by witchcraft. It is absolutely impossible to overestimate how upset people were by sarong-gate, particularly the tabloid media. The Sun ran the pic with the headline: “Beckham has got his Posh frock on.””
