Justin Bieber Gets Medal From Canada’s Prime Minister While Wearing Overalls (PIC)

Justin Bieber, proud son of Canada, received a special honor from his native country on Friday.

The pop star met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and was presented with a Diamond Jubilee Medal, marking the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and recognizing “significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.”

But Bieber’s choice of outfit is raising some eyebrows.

Many online commenters are criticizing the singer’s decision to greet the leader of Canada while wearing overalls (partly undone), a t-shirt and backwards baseball cap.

Harper himself simply tweeted the photo (full image below) and wrote, ”Was happy to present @justinbieber with a Diamond Jubilee Medal today. #beliebers.”

Bieber’s thoughts on the event were even more succinct.

“Overauhls, lol,” tweeted The Biebs.

What do you think — Should Bieber have dressed up, or is it no big deal?

    He looks there like a redneck on a farm……I would be very pissed off and embarrassed if I am his mum! No style and manners.

  • martina

    Jeez, I would be pissed of and embarrassed if I am his mum, to see him dressed like a redneck on a farm! Well, no manners and respect + no fashion style!

  • peppermintulip

    Bad as this is at least it wasn’t his diaper pants that he’s wearing all the time now. lol

  • Natty_d

    I agree Martina! Very sophisticated event, very inappropriate outfit to be wearing… He dresses better for his concerts and for other events, don’t understand his decision on that one !

  • Karen

    He looks like that and wears clothes like that (especially to a dinner with his ex and to a thing above) and then he wonders no one takes him seriously and his ex doesn’t want to be seen with him in public. Major emabarassment..

  • martina

    Yeah, I got that he is a young kid, but still..,,,this is not a raper club visit or a playground……although he may had fun there as well….lol

  • SadGuest

    he once again showed he’s just a little boy. time to grow!

  • http://twitter.com/Fuze83 Fuze83

    He looks like he just rolled outa bed with those clothes! That’s UN classy an No respect!

  • tarteya

    Well?what could you expect from justin.

  • Laarni

    Gawd, Bieber! Grow up! How disrespectful. Apologise to the Prime Minister and to Canadians.

  • Jen

    Agree 100%. This young man is a millionaire many times over and can afford a suit. Very disrespectful. Sports people are allowed to wear their specific uniforms at times though, as they did when the entire team went to the White House, but that is a different event. All of the young women on the US Olympics team who went to the White House were dressed up. So, age has nothing to do with knowing how to respect the leader of your country, especially if you are receiving an award.

  • Niko

    Dear PM please take that medal back. The boy have no idea about manners.
    Does he thinks he is cool? This is disrespectful . SHAME ON YOU

  • Loser

    I would not even acknowledge him as family. He makes his mom look like a fool, you want to wear up hat backwards and were your jeans hanging off you ass looking like an idiot fine but at least show some class for once.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jeff-Carr/100003501334342 Jeff Carr

    What do you expect from a kid who is a big headed nitwit.
    he can’t sing without technical help and he relies on his cute little face that the little girls love. In spite of his recent message to haters who said he’d only last a year or to, I suggest he doesn’t get any mor coky then he is because that 15 minutes will be up soon, especially with is smart ass, disrespectful attitude he has been displaying.

  • Kateekidding

    I don’t see the problem. Why should he be wearing a suit? It’s not like he is indecent.He is the one being honored, so I say he can wear what ever he finds fitting.

  • robotlips

    Well, the little nerd is from Canada, so he is their problem. Ban him from America, Obama, please!

  • SheonaSHAPE

    Very disrespectful, he should be ashamed, and hope his mother has strong words with him, poor way to treat his country and a special occasion

  • deeeeep

    What a disrespectful scumbag he is. No class or character what so ever.

  • wholestr

    He is meeting a head of state and is dressed like that?? He wears fancier things all the time, he looks like he just got out of bed. Very disrespectful!

  • Kathy Giroux

    Geez, no wonder Selina dumped him, why an embarrassment.

  • martina

    Lol…. Exactly! He is honoured so he should show his respect with decent choice of clothing? Are you greeting your guests naked? I guess not! Therefor you should not really ask this question! This is a black tie event, so where is his black tie and the rest?! If you go to Maldives for holiday you can’t even have the dinner without decent clothing, and it does by matter who you are and how much money are you making.

  • aquarius64

    HE LOOKS HORRIBLE!!!! Disrespectful to Canada’s PM, going to an official event looking like a trailer park mess! Great job, Biebs mom!

  • Ange

    Because when you have the privilege of meeting the head of an elected government, especially at an honorary event, you SUIT THE FUCK UP. He was INVITED to this event, he is the guest, and knowing this he should have dressed accordingly. It is a matter of respect that should not be lost through this century.

  • sam

    Disgusting is all I can say. He is meeting a countries leader and he could’t even bother to put on a dress shirt. He should be ashamed of himself and as a Canadian I am horrified and disgusted with the lack of respect shown.

  • Margaret Horne

    justin just made me ashamed that he is a Canadian.I would never allow my kids in the house unless they removed their caps.

  • Deebs

    No class. It is regrettably that he is Canadian and it makes me ashamed.

  • http://twitter.com/tnafam T . P H A M

    I don’t hate this kid but this is really disrespectful, I don’t know what he was thinking and that makes me question his mom authority over him. Obviously she has none. If I was his gf I would be embarrassed as fuck. And it is not like he wears the these overalls all the time, I never saw him wear any type of overalls yet and he chose to wear it to this event. Also it’s not like he never wears a suit before….he wore one to meet with Obama….This event is bigger since he is given a pretty big award. Is he really that big headed and clueless? urgh.

  • bren

    I notice that the prime minister looks amused. Beiber is a shmuck.

  • Nancy

    He should have dressed with more respect…would have thought he would have made a better choice

  • Nikki

    Justin Bieber and that whole generation has no respect for anyone or anything. This does not surprise me one bit. He should be ashamed of himself!!!! The parents are to blame.

  • woof

    It is a nod to the Farmers of Canada

  • 55vineyard

    Thanks I agree and who the heck wears backward baseball caps nowadays, that trend went out about 8-10 years ago. Just not a nice thing for him to do.

  • aquarius64

    I’m beginning to see why Selena dumped him. He acts too immature.

  • http://twitter.com/1LilyStar1 Lily Bryant

    OMG, what is he wearing? Somebody should have dressed him up for as meeting with the Prime Minister.

  • http://twitter.com/1LilyStar1 Lily Bryant

    I agree with you completely. I’m aghast at his attire. What were his parents thinking or don’t they have a say into what he wears?

  • http://twitter.com/1LilyStar1 Lily Bryant

    Meeting the Prime Minister is a privilege and an honor. He should have dressed up and shown it the proper respect.

  • Diane

    Why is he even getting a medal to start with?

  • http://twitter.com/1LilyStar1 Lily Bryant

    I don’t think he has a cute little face either. I feel terrible for his fans. I don’t want to bash him, but i really don’t understand the hype surrounding his career. What was Usher thinking?

  • http://twitter.com/1LilyStar1 Lily Bryant

    That’s a GREAT question!

  • ted

    This attire on Justin is totally inappropriate & disrespectful. The overalls is one thing but what’s going on with the pearl necklaces?

  • Maar

    Yep, redneck on a farm, maybe that’s what he is…:)

  • Kateekidding

    My point is, that his choice of clothing is not indecent. He is not naked. he is wearing a clean shirt with pants. Is it really a black tie event? where does it specify that?

  • Kateekidding

    Why is it an honor? The guy is just an elected official.

  • Kateekidding

    You guy’s are f*cking ridiculous getting huffed up over s#it like this. Is it the Canadians getting offended? is it a cultural thing that I just don’t get? idk, but it seams crazy to me.

  • Anon

    You’re pretty dense aren’t you? Yes he is an elected official, he is also the Canadian leader, and not only that, he recieved an award that commemorates our monarch, though I don’t agree with the whole monarchy thing, nonetheless, and him being a great canadian representing us abroad, where as people such as Terry Fox and Bruce Williams, which actually contributed to our society have only earned such awards, then he has the guts to go dressed as that? and leave a comment on his twitter “overauhls lol”? What is it some joke to him? Like people said, nothing but a disrecpectful punk, and I would love to see it taken away from him and actually given to someone that actually deserves it.

  • Kateekidding

    I bet the singer has contributed loads to the Canadian society just by paying taxes. Sounds to me like you are more pissed about Biebers success, than him wearing those clothes. I find your anger about the situation out of proportion.

    Yes, they decided to give the award to a punk, so why be so surprised when a punk arrives to receive it?
    I seriously doubt that I will agree with you on the matter of weather it is an honer, that requires black tie, to meet the head of state or not. But lets hash that up to cultural differences rather than scull density, thank you very much.

  • FattieAcid

    i really hate when people say he’s just akid. He’s 18! when I was 18 I wore dressy clothing even when I went to someones house for dinner, this guy is going to meet canada’s leader in this crap! he disgraces canada.

  • Sara

    I agree it was a really bad choice in his attire no question! But if you follow what Justin does for people, he is pretty amazing and has a great heart! He helps people in need all over the world visiting kids bullied, hospitals schools, ect! I do believe that is why he is receiving the award. NOT for what his wardrobe looks like, all I repeat he could have picked something completely different! I don’t think it’s fair to blame his parents! How of you writing on this have an 18 yr old and don’t agree with everything they wear! Justin is extremely talented and for the person who wrote that he’s uses electronics to sing really has not watched anything with Bieber. He sings ALL the time with just his voice and a guitar and has a beautiful voice! I may not agree with his choice of clothing all the time, But I don’t think it’s appropriate to hash on someone just because they entertain us! He is A very young man and what you adults are doing is bullying a child! Do you expect your child to be perfect every second of the day OR are you perfect every second of the day for that matter? Imagine your whole life in front of the world every second! He’s human! Cut the kid some slack and stop bullying! I can’t stand all the Hate people have in this world! Try being positive and realizing a KID from Canada received an award for what he has done good for and not for what he wears every day!

  • Sara

    One more thing …….. How many politicians or prime ministers, or presidents in our world have made mistakes BIGGER then what just decided to wear?????!

  • Epsteinbarr Anamoly

    Actually, most Canadians find this disgraceful as well. You don’t wear something like this when meeting the head of state of ANY country. This kid needs to learn some respect. What I find crazy is you defending him.

  • ALogicalMind

    She’s immature her damn self

  • ALogicalMind

    You are the one who needs help with that invalid statement

  • ALogicalMind

    His mom is perfectly pleased with him

  • ALogicalMind

    The prime minister has no problem with it and said that himself

  • ALogicalMind

    His mom is perfectly pleased by him so to try and speak on her behalf is stupid

  • ALogicalMind

    And I’d correct my spelling mistake before calling someone an idiot ;)

  • ALogicalMind

    He’s 18 who the fuck tells their kids what to wear at 18 years old

  • ALogicalMind

    His ex is Selena and is back with his ass. Argument invalid.

  • sam

    It is not a cultural thing! As a Canadian I am disgusted that this is the way he dressed to meet our country’s leader. He could have put on a bloody dress shirt, this was a very high honour and he made a joke out of it,

  • sam

    He is 18 and an adult and he should have known better himself that what he was wearing was completely inappropriate.

  • clo

    I’m embarrassed to say I come from the same country as this spoiled brat, but hey! It could be worse. It doesn’t represent a true Canadian, he’s just a jerk with no class.

  • wow

    there are children in the world with cancer…
    soilders fighting and dying for us al every second of everyday…
    children with no homes, no families on christmas…
    disasters from earthquakes, floods, tornados..
    murders, lost of loved ones…
    but what are these small facts compared to justin biebers outfit?

  • Guest

    or anything related to anything that has to do with celebrities. It’s appalling the time, interest and energy we spend on these people. They really aren’t all that, but still we spend our time with reading about their oh-so-special lives when there are much more important things happening in the world.

  • Anon

    Bieberfan?

  • Jean

    He disrespected the office of the Prime Minister of Canada. He should dressed in a suit. Plus…significant contributions? Give me a break! The kid sings (badly). There are far more deserving people who should get this award.

  • AlyssaBieber

    I’m a huge belieber so listen up.
    Justin was just at a meet and greet with his fans! At a hockey arena!where in between fin his meet and greet and then going quickly to meet him AT the hockey arena, would he have time to change. Stop judgin him, if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all. I bet none of you have over 60 songs and a great fan base and is making A LOT. Of money, an also finding time to visit sick children and donated to charity, and visiting country’s that need help. So before you judge do some research

  • ILOVEUJUSTIN!

    He was in a hockey arena! He didn’t know that he was going to meet him!!!! It was kinda a meet and greet, he didn’t change clothes, cause he couldn’t! THINK TWICE!

  • Dave

    He showed his true nature. Beiber is a fool. Mark my words from here on in he will slide into classic child-star ruin. He will make mistake after mistake and we will have ourselves a male Brittany Spears

  • Jamie T

    But you seem to be okay with talking on his and her behalf? That makes sense. His mom is pleased because he’s made their family rich.

  • GetAlife

    I think it’s whatever. People should just get a life and quit worrying about what other people are wearing…. I mean there is A LOT more going on in this world to worry about than, what Justin wore….. WTFC….

  • GetAlife

    Right…. All these peeps are bashing his parents. Who is a grown man and can and will do what he wants. Their just clothes for crying out loud…. who cares what he wore or wears….

  • ALogicalMind

    His mom isn’t pissed at all. She’s proud of him and loves him.

  • ALogicalMind

    His girlfriend is the one hovering over him for dear life and he’s 18 what mother tells their child what to wear at 18? You make no sense

  • ALogicalMind

    That’s what you say. And what you say doesn’t fucking matter. Are you the prime minister? No.

  • ALogicalMind

    They only talking shut cause they don’t like him. Sorry but e can wear whatever he wants its his life. Last time I checked they were honoring HIM. Hence he can wear what he wants.

  • ALogicalMind

    No I state fact. Her OWN words.and for the to even try to put out that his mom only likes him for money just makes you look foolish.

  • ALogicalMind

    Usher never signed him. So your whole argument and statement is invalid.

  • ALogicalMind

    Little girl? His fans are his age and up. Even elderly people go to his shows, he can’t sing without help? He sure didn’t have help posting those YouTube videos that GOT his discovered in the first place.disrepectful? The prime minister didn’t see it that way. Smart ass how? When people constantly spend their time analyzing what he says ANd does? 15 minutes? Hmmmmm…. It’s been over five years. LOL @ you.

  • ALogicalMind

    Spoiled? Someone who grew up not having shit?

  • ALogicalMind

    Amen. People are OBSESSED

  • ALogicalMind

    Amen. It’s funny how everyone who’s commenting hates him. YET they’re the only ones on the article talking shit. Notice none of his fans are here arguing with them. YET his fans are immature?

  • ALogicalMind

    Yawn go learn to spell and stfu. The only one making mistakes is you while he shits in your life

  • ALogicalMind

    OMG thank you

  • ALogicalMind

    Does it matter what the hell I am. I’m a mature logical person that’s what I am? So ask yourself. bieber hater?

  • Kateekidding

    Yes verrrrrry sophisticated indeed. Squished in between his ‘meet and greet’ and concert at a hockey stadium…. You guys make it sound like he was at the palace drinking tea with the queen in that outfit.

  • Elliott

    Why did he get a Diamond Jubilee anyways? He may be famous but he is just a kid singer. there are many people in the country more deserving of it than him. i think its a big middle finger to any of those who deserved it and didn’t get it. Shame on Canada!

  • DH26

    ALogicalMind, Are you related to the Biebs or something? You are awfully defensive?

  • ALogicalMind

    Because of contributions jerk

  • ALogicalMind

    Are you that much of a pussy to not message me directly

  • EB Anamoly

    @ALogicalMind:disqus JB, is that you?

  • ALogicalMind

    Dumbass is that you? Go stalk someone else child.

  • Unbiased Opinion

    Firstly, I don’t understand all these comments about his parents. Secondly, if Stephen Harper didn’t like Justin’s outfit, he wouldn’t say so. There’s no point. What’s done is done and I sure the Prime Minister has bigger problems to deal with. I do think it was a bit of a stunt to wear such an outfit to such a formal event. It was most definitely disrespectful. But I would venture to guess that one of his promoters recommended his choice of clothes. In the world of fame, attention, whether good or bad, is always good for business. And this certainly has turned into a hot topic. Easy publicity. And no one, who’s in his inner circle, especially his mom, would say something bad about this. No mother who loves her son would publicly humiliate him. Would you? If she had a problem with his outfit then I’m sure she told him so in private. As far as what I think about it, it was inappropriate. I personally think there were more deserving recipients for this award, and I don’t think it showed further disrespect to show up to see the leader of his country in a sloppy outfit when he had the sensibility to dress up to meet our neighbor’s president. Not only was he under dressed, but he went as far as to dress down from his usual wardrobe. If he would have shown up dress in something similar to what he wears at one of his concerts it wouldn’t have been as bad. In conclusion, lets call a spade a spade and name this for what it was. Albeit disrespectful but quite simply put: A publicity stunt.

  • Unbiased Opinion

    Sorry, I just saw a typo. “I DO think it showed further disrespect to show up to see the leader of his country in a sloppy outfit when he had the sensibility to dress up to meet our neighbor’s president.” Sorry about that.

  • ALogicalMind

    Haha exactly

  • ALogicalMind

    It wasn’t an official event. Learn your facts. This was taken right after his meet and greet.

  • ALogicalMind

    It’s Selena and she is the one that cheated on him and he dumped her before argument invalid.

  • ALogicalMind

    Awkward. It was NOT a formal event at all.

  • Mr Sir

    I see he wore his Sunday church clothes…

  • mary

    BS..to both…its a medal that should be given to people who deserve it..people who have done great things for their country…that kid doesn’t even live in Canada now,.and his business is to get rich and richer…. and whoever voted for him to get this medal should be ashamed. and the rules that allow this should be changed … asap…..they obviously do not know or care of the sacrifices of the Canadian military personale such as my husband of 25 years…..tours in war torn countries such as Somalia, Haiti and Afghanistan…I’m ashamed of the PM and my country’s rules…..

    justin bieber did not meet the prime minister actually the prime minister went to justin’s venue to meet him at his meet and greet and if you had watched ellen he was talking about how if he had gone to meet the prime minister he would have dressed nice but that was actually at his meet and greet

  • Sabrina

    He is from Canada, so I suppose he felt comfortable meeting the leader of his own country in just overalls. However, that being said, doesn’t make his choice of an outfit moral in any way, shape or form. Whether somebody is a millionaire or not, if you have a scheduled event to go to where you are meeting the leader of ANY country, especially your own, you don’t where overalls, a t-shirt, and a backwards hat. It pisses me off so much because I’m from Canada as well, and still currently live here. Trust me folks, we aren’t all this disgraceful and a shame to our country!!

  • the guy

    Justin bieber is a dork and a human disgrace he doesn’t deserve the medal

  • CUTS 4 BEIBS

    Seems like you love Beiber, I however find this quite disrespectful. He wore a suit for the meeting with Obama, why would he not wear one here in his home land? Don’t get me wrong I am not prejudiced to Americans or anything, but you think he might wear at least the same level of attire. By the way if you do love Justin I would love to inform you that he smokes pot. Hope that breaks your heart D:

  • DontNeedAUsername

    #1 dumbass idgaf about Bieber. #2 clearly the one that loves him is you hence why you named yourself after him like a dumbass. #3 it’s Bieber not Beiber if you want to talk shit learn to spell. #4 idgaf what you did “disrespectful” and I don’t give a damn about you. He WENT to go meet president Obama. The Canadian prime monster came to HIS meet and greet and set up the background. So not only do you clearly not know what the hell you are talking about but you are ignorant as hell. #5 idgaf if you don’t like Americans or not and I don’t give a rats ass what you think. #6 I’m well aware of what he did child and he don’t shit that noone else dot sdo you can inform me on a damn thing clearly the only one that needs to be informed is YOU. Breaks my heart? Sorry but how old are you twelve? You don’t know shit about me or my heart so take your whiny ignorant ass elsewhere and stop commenting on post that are months old you stupid mother fucker.

  • Guest

    You are a fucking idiot and everything you said and that dumbass name backs it up. My dog had more sense than you.

  • Natasha

    Wow, you say thank you to some saying people need to get a life, quit worrying about what other people are wearing, and that there is a lot more going on in the world to worry about, but YOU are the one trolling around on a page about Justin Bieber. There’s got to be 30 or 40 comments/replies from you here. I can’t even figure out if you like him or not. You keep sticking up for the twerp but then you tell people you “don’t give a f@ck” about him.
    Also, the fact that he was dressed like that for a meet and greet, is still terrible. He didn’t have to wear a suit, but he should’ve dressed halfway decent. And you’d think someone would have known that the prime minister was going to show up there so they could get him changed into some nicer.
