Fernanda Lima criticised by Iranians for THAT dress during Friday's World Cup draw

The Brazilian actress stole the show at last week's event with her revealing dress but Iranians didn't take to it too well after she disrupted their viewing
Revealing: Fernanda Lima stunned many viewers with her choice of attire

The dress worn by Brazilian model and TV presenter Fernanda Lima during the World Cup draw has been criticised by a large population of Iran.
The 36-year-old wowed viewers across the world with her revealing attire at the event - as she picked up thousands of new followers on Twitter.
However, those watching in Iran had a disrupted view of the draw - with every shot of Lima cut out - as standard practice in the country is to censor or blur any unacceptable female clothing.
The host of one of the state TV channels in Iran Adel Ferdosipour said: "To be honest with you, the dress of the lady who presents the show does not meet our broadcasting guidelines at all."
Lima - who previously starred in a steamy advert with her partner - was even told to wear a hijab so the nation could see the event, as negative comments poured in.
It was a complete contrast to the rest of the world, with most unsurprisingly very complimentary about her appearance.
The Brazilian beauty was not the only one to face a backlash from Iran supporters after Friday's group stage draw.
The Asia qualifiers are in Group F, alongside Nigeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and one of the tournament favourites, Argentina - who of course boast the services of Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
And the 26-year-old became the subject of a torrent of abuse on his official Facebook page from Iranians, who suggested he would not get an easy ride next summer.
Fortunately, groups were set up soon after, aptly named 'Iranians apologise to Fernanda Lima and Leo Messi' - as the majority of the country show their true feelings on the duo.
