Shailene Woodley's fashion choice at the 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards has ignited a firestorm on social media, with many fans expressing shock and urging the actress to reconsider her styling team. The 'Paradise' star's red carpet appearance was met with a wave of negative reactions across platforms like X, formerly Twitter, following a Vanity Fair video of her on the red carpet.
Woodley was seen in a striking outfit that included an ill-fitting blue bodysuit with a plunging neckline, paired with oversized, bedazzled pants and maroon opera gloves. The ensemble was further accessorized with a prominent gold necklace featuring chunky jewels. The bold fashion statement quickly became a trending topic, drawing comparisons and commentary from dismayed viewers.
This public scrutiny of Woodley's attire comes just days after her ex-fiancé, Aaron Rodgers, reportedly criticized her on a podcast. The details of their past relationship, including their December 2021 engagement that ended three months later, have resurfaced amidst the fashion controversy.
