‘Put it away.’ ‘What’s happened to the world?!’ ‘Dangerous!!’ You’d think these would be remarks made at, I don’t know, someone brandishing a machete in public or a person flashing their genitals on public transport. You’d be mistaken. These comments were made over…Bella Hadid wearing a sheer dress! And these were some of the more palatable comments out there.
Sadly, this backlash comes as no surprise. Women cannot exist without being criticised, sexualised, demonised or chastised. Especially when in public, especially when high-profile, especially when seemingly confident. It does not matter what you look like, you will be dubbed too much or too little. Too revealing, too modest, too pious, too slutty, too fat, too thin, too beautiful, too ugly, too feminine, too masculine. Whoever the woman,Bella Hadid at Cannes Film Festival 2024.
McGowan’s dress was worn for meta reasons, a reclamation of sorts. She said, ‘It was my first big public appearance after being sexually assaulted. I just felt like, “Oh Hollywood, would you want a body just that you can use and throw away? Then I’ve got one for you!” It was like at the end of ‘Gladiator’ when he comes out and he’s like, ‘”Are you not entertained?”’
Last summer, in July 2023, Keke Palmer was shamed publicly by her child’s father Darius Jackson – and half the internet – for wearing a sheer dress whilst attending an Usher concert. ‘It’s the outfit tho … you a mom,’ Jackson tweeted. In one short statement she was sexualised and desexualised; the sheerness of her outfit dubbed inappropriate because she is a mother, and therefore not allowed to be sexy.
