Influencer Defends Skimpy Winery Outfit Amidst Family's Disapproval

An Australian influencer, Matilda Baxter, 23, known online as 'Tilds Search', has drawn attention for her revealing outfit worn to a South Australian winery. Baxter, who previously underwent a 'Barbie waist' cosmetic procedure, shared a TikTok video detailing an encounter where a nearby family appeared shocked by her cut-out crop top and low-slung maxi skirt.

"The family in particular across from us, motherfkers kept staring at us," Baxter stated in her video, as quoted by the Daily Mail. She addressed the family directly, asserting, "I am walking advertisement, this is my uniform, this is my work uniform. I look fking good." Baxter further commented on her financial investment in her appearance, saying, "I spend that much money on myself, why not show it off, OK? If you see this, diva, maybe you should too."

Baxter also mentioned that she and her boyfriend, Alessandro, had indulged in multiple wines during their visit, leading to some intimate moments on the way home. "We did a wine pairing, we were absolutely side-f**king-ways," she recounted.

This incident follows Baxter's earlier public response to critical comments about her physical transformation. She previously lashed out at those discussing her changed appearance, stating, "If you have to put me through a group chat to talk s**t about how different I look, saying that I look like a Holocaust survivor with bolt-ons, then you are the lowest of the low."

Baxter defended her right to alter her appearance, emphasizing that individuals are permitted to look different over time. She also suggested that negative attention, including gossip and online commentary, ultimately benefits her financially. "If it's a group chat, a conversation, a headline, whatever, I'm still a topic in your boring f***ing life, okay? It makes me money," she said. Baxter concluded by demonstrating the narrowness of her surgically enhanced waist, comparing it to her hands, and asserting her satisfaction with the attention her appearance garners.
