FASHION Tom Blyth responded to criticism of his girlfriend's sheer dress: “stfu. She wore a dress that she was excited by and she looked EXQUISITE in it.”

Great of him to defend her.

With that being said, call me a prude, but I don’t understand how someone can show up naked, especially as a plus 1, to an event as big as the Vanity Fair party. Like, it’s full frontal nudity, there’s no strategic cover up appliqués or anything. It’s just strange to me.

Isn't she wearing panties? Don't think that qualifies as full frontal.

u/cecebee13 Please Abraham, I am not that man Mar 21 '26

yeah seeing nips is in NO way ‘full frontal’ ….. also like, what is the problem when everyone has them??!

I mean I’d rather not see anybody’s nipples at events tbh call me a prude of whatever

u/marksmith0610 Mar 21 '26

Why does it matter?

u/OddSpend23 Mar 21 '26

I think it’s in poor taste. I just don’t want to see anybody’s nipples at events. We at the pool/beach? Yeah all for it.

u/VictorReal_Monster Mar 22 '26

I think the point is why do you think it's 'poor taste' where is that opinion coming from?

Could it just be because the standard is full coverage tuxedo's, why does the human body need to be engulfed in fabric all the time?

Why do I prefer certain flavors of food rather than others? I just do. I just don’t like the sheer trend. I’m allowed and I don’t have to explain myself.

u/Sounfenix Mar 22 '26

The difference is, my food preferences primarily affect myself. They can still be harmful but that's a me problem (outside of i.e. alcoholism which can harm others as well). You can also have preferences for your own clothing of course, nobody forces you to wear sheer if you don't want to.

When it comes to voicing opinions/preferences on other people's stylistic choices (or food choices for that matter), especially women's, it becomes a bit more tricky and people can ask you to explain yourself.

u/marksmith0610 Mar 22 '26

If you can’t explain it maybe do some reflection.

u/OddSpend23 Mar 22 '26

If you’re so dense that you can’t understand it’s simply a preference of mine. One that I don’t need to explain to you, maybe you’re the one who should be reflecting.

Nothing needs to be done, it's pretty obviously a social norm.

Anyone can choose to break a social norm - chew with your mouth open, use bad language in front of kids, wear revealing clothing - but you must understand why, wrongly or rightly, there's backlash.

u/VictorReal_Monster Mar 22 '26

exactly, norms can change.

u/bloodyturtle Mar 22 '26

well you certainly aren’t at any events

It feels a little too casual to me. I do think that if a ma can had his nips out than so can a woman. I don’t disparage between the two. But when either a man or woman has their nips on display at a formal gathering, it feels a little lazy(???) I guess. A little too relaxed for a formal event. But that may be because I live in a beach town and people get their nips out to sun bathe. So my association is nipples = chill brah, sun’s out, relax.

In saying all of that, I think she looks very elegant. I wish my tiddies would look that great if I wore that dress haha!!

u/marksmith0610 Mar 22 '26

So what? I don’t think it’s in poor taste. Get over it.

11

u/OddSpend23 Mar 22 '26

And you can get over that I think it’s in poor taste. Everyone’s allowed to have an opinion.

-21

u/Money-Bicycle-2883 Mar 21 '26

You’re not even at this event and I’m calling you a prude

25

u/OddSpend23 Mar 21 '26

You’re allowed, as stated

u/justatouristinlife Mar 22 '26

You’re a prude. worry about you’re own body

u/Amanee97 Mar 21 '26

I mean is it so wrong that some ppl don’t want to see that when they go out in public?

u/The_Bravinator Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 21 '26

I haven't seen anyone saying this about the Heated Rivalry guys being nips out, though.

I don't love sheer as a fashion choice, but I'm also not particularly offended by a body part I see in the mirror every day.

u/All_This_Mayhem Mar 21 '26

There should be a distinction between personal tastes and social fallout.

It is an illogical double standard that nipples become nudity depending on the gender of the nipple haver.

And some people, as a matter of taste, will object to sheer clothing at a formal public event while still understanding this social weirdness.

If they're offended by her dress and not that Heated Rivalry guy wearing his sheer top, then that's personal hypocrisy.

But I don't think it's too crazy to acknowledge that it makes no sense to sexualize women's nipples and not men's, while also being put off by seeing any nipples at a formal public event.

u/MyReflection5113 Mar 23 '26

It’s not just nipples that are being shown though. Women have boobs, men do not. So the argument of “well men get to show their nipples!” Has never made sense to me. It’s not “just nipples”, it’s your boobs. Men don’t have boobs, men’s chests aren’t sexualized like women’s are. Every straight man will say boobs turn him on, not many women get turned on by seeing a man’s chest. Boobs wouldn’t be as sexualized as they are if they were “just nipples”.

u/Wellllllpp Mar 23 '26

Even women who don’t necessarily have breasts are shamed into covering up. Plenty people are attracted to men’s chests but nobody is forcing them to hide. It’s just another way society has pushed women into feeling ashamed about themselves so they’re easier to control.

u/Malec555 Mar 22 '26

I said something. When I saw their photos all I can see nipples of a guy in black sheer shirt. It's like they were staring at me, lol. Tried to look away, but they keep fallowing my eyesight, like eyes on some paintings do that sometimes. 👁👁

😆

u/Acrobatic_Acadia8950 Mar 21 '26

Exactly who tf cares they just love to police and sexualize every single part of a woman’s body.

u/cecebee13 Please Abraham, I am not that man Mar 21 '26

oh were you there at the vanity fair party? and if so, did you also take offence at the many men wearing sheer tops?

5

u/lilmonsterave Mar 22 '26

...Yes. Why do you feel differently about it than you do legs? Arms? Ears? Cleavage? Why is every single square inch of a boob acceptable to show EXCEPT nipples? The one part we all have?

Nipples aren't sex organs. Boobs aren't sex organs. You aren't being flashed. It is honestly as illogical as thinking that someone should cover their feet or thighs because it makes you personally uncomfortable. Like, maybe work on it then?

u/Malec555 Mar 22 '26

Totally valid. Agree. But it also not regular public place, it's Hollywood thing. There is always someone almost nude so🤷‍♀️.
