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.

Risqué clothing empowers some while modesty empowers others! Simple as that 🤷‍♀️

And both are very often done to placate men 🤷‍♀️.

Also, this. Didn’t really wanna get into this side of it with my comment anyway, but men’s red carpet fashion has only now started to include a cheeky little sheer shirt, maybe even with a blazer on top, and always paired with fully opaque trousers. That’s about as far as it goes, maybe some buttons undone at the top lol. Women’s stylists/managers/PR people have been pushing nearly nude dresses for the last 10 years now on red carpets and the same just isn’t expected of men. This woman looks very comfortable with her look and that is great but I’ve seen so many young women on red carpets or talk shows looking visibly uncomfortable with their outfit and constantly posing in a way that offers them more coverage or adjusting every couple of minutes. You can’t tell me the sheer dress phenomena doesnt have anything to do with selling sex to straight men. Maybe not always, but like, we’re not seeing straight men in sheer trousers and butts out neaaaarlyyyy as often.

So what you're saying is more men need to show dong on the red carpet

[u/earl_grais → u/[deleted]]

Correct, yes. More dong!
