【Watch Weekend Sexcapades (2014)】

Putting aside how basic wearing Uggs makes you look,Watch Weekend Sexcapades (2014) people love the boots because they're warm and comfy. But did you know the fleece-lined boots will alsoprevent you from entering an airport lounge?

Yeah, we had no idea either.

Catherall was denied access to the airline's business class lounge because the boots are considered sleepwear.

Boots... that you wear outside... are classified as sleepwear. We'd love to hear the reasoning behind this classification.

The singer took to Twitter to voice her frustration with the outrageous policy. A Qantas lounge staffer reportedly recommended she purchase new shoes at one of the airport's shops in order to gain entry, adding further insult to injury.

Reasonable or not, Qantas's lounge dress guidelines prohibit certain types of footwear and apparel such as flip flops (or "thongs," if you're Australian), beachwear, head-to-toe gymwear and sleepwear.

As outlined on the Qantas website, the dress code isn't limited to Melbourne Airport; it applies to all of the airline's domestic airport lounges:

To ensure an enjoyable experience when you're visiting our domestic Qantas Clubs and Business Lounges in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, we ask that you follow our smart casual dress guidelines.

The company's website further adds: "These guidelines are intended to create an environment that everyone can enjoy and we look forward to welcoming you into our lounges soon."

We checked with several airline dress policies and can confirm some, but not all, ban Uggs from their lounges.

Another Twitter user chimed in with a similar experience when flying from Brisbane Airport:

Banning Uggs from its lounges definitely sucks. It's unlikely to change unless there's widespread public outcry. Perhaps, Catherall's unfortunate encounter could be the catalyst.

#UggsNotSleepwear, anyone?

An Ugg spokesperson sent along a statement that touted the brand's popularity and accessibility without addressing the airline's definition of which footwear does and doesn't qualify as sleeping apparel.

Millions of loyal fans love to wear UGG when they travel and beyond. The UGG brand is renowned for unparalleled premium quality, effortless comfort and timeless style. While we can’t speak to the airline’s dress code policy, UGG provides a multitude of styles that offer endless wearability for casual and fashionable occasions.
