Lizzo's 2024 Met Gala look was definitely a showstopper. However, it seems that not everyone was a fan of her fashion choice. In fact, Lizzo received some backlash after stating that anyone who didn't like her look was being "fatphobic". The night was filled with A-list celebrities, from Sydney Sweeney to Lana Del Rey, and fans were quick to weigh in on their bold fashion choices and critique them ruthlessly.
The 36-year-old singer fully embraced the Garden of Time theme for this year's New York fashion event, opting for a unique ensemble that left many people scratching their heads. Her gown, adorned with nude illusion petals, had a scooping design at the bottom to hold rose petals, which was also reflected in her headpiece. Some fans compared her outfit to "Groot eleganza" or "dog cone energy", but despite the mixed reactions, Lizzo stood by her look.
In the caption of her Instagram post, Lizzo declared, "If I'm not in your best dressed list, you're fatphobic." This statement did not sit well with some fans, who immediately called her out for playing the "fatphobia card" to defend her fashion choice. Despite her intentions, the comment section was filled with criticism towards her look. Some fans even went as far as to say that they were no longer a fan of Lizzo because of her caption.
The controversy surrounding Lizzo's Met Gala look has only added to the already difficult year she's had. The singer has been vocal about society's fatphobia and the pressure to conform to certain body image standards. However, this hasn't stopped people from commenting on her appearance, with some saying she should fire her stylist and others comparing her headpiece to a dog cone or a coffee filter.
Over on X (a social media platform), the criticism towards Lizzo's look was even harsher, with many people sarcastically saying they were "fatphobic" now. Others pointed out that the dress was not flattering on her, and some questioned why she was even invited to the event in the first place, given the controversy surrounding her in the past.
Last year, Lizzo faced allegations of abusive working conditions from former dancers, which shook her plus-size-friendly and all-inclusive image. The singer has denied these allegations, but the court of public opinion seems to have turned against her this time. Despite trying to move on and focus on her music and new business ventures, it appears that Lizzo's reputation has taken a hit.
It's clear that Lizzo's Met Gala look has sparked a lot of discussion and debate, and while she may have stood by her choice, it seems that not everyone was on board. With everything that's happened, it's no surprise that the singer is facing some backlash. But as they say, any publicity is good publicity, and Lizzo's unique fashion choice has definitely got people talking. What do you think of her look? Let us know in the comments below.
