Actor Stands by Fashion Choice, Citing “Body Positivity” and Critiquing Cultural Norms
Zoë Kravitz recently addressed an online critic who questioned her choice to attend the 2021 Met Gala in a revealing Saint Laurent crystal slip dress. The Big Little Lies star received both admiration and critique for her daring look, which included a silver crystal thong paired with the dress designed by Anthony Vaccarello.
One social media user, expressing disapproval on Instagram, commented, “I don’t understand why they go practically naked. She’s gorgeous. Why does she feel the need to wear a dress like this?” Kravitz responded directly, pointing to body positivity and the influence of cultural conditioning. She replied, “Being uncomfortable with the human body is colonisation/brainwashing. It’s just a body. We all got em.”
Her statement has sparked discussions on societal standards and self-expression, with fans lauding her for challenging norms around body acceptance.
