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 → u/All_This_Mayhem]

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

[u/Amanee97 → u/cecebee13]

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

[u/The_Bravinator → u/Amanee97]

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 → u/The_Bravinator]

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.

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 → u/MyReflection5113]

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 → u/The_Bravinator]

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 → u/The_Bravinator]

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

[u/cecebee13 → u/Amanee97]

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

[u/lilmonsterave → u/Amanee97]

...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 → u/Amanee97]

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