Stylist Jessica Paister recently took to the red carpet to defend actress Quinta Brunson’s fashion choice while simultaneously roasting Meghan Markle’s fashion disaster.
Paister, who works as a stylist for the star of Abbott Elementary, addressed the controversy surrounding Brunson’s dark pink Dior dress, which appeared creased in photos taken at the event.
Several online comments criticized the outfit, prompting Paister to step in and offer an explanation.
Brunson donned the dress, featuring a square neckline and full skirt, as she accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy at the 75th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
This historic win made Brunson the first black woman to achieve this honor in 42 years.
However, some Instagram users couldn’t help but comment on the dress, expressing their concerns about the creases.
One commenter wrote, “I like the color though not sure if it suits her, but the creases, how was she allowed out?”
Another remarked, “Love the shape, hate the wrinkles.
I know it’s supposed to be wrinkled with intention, but it just looks like it wasn’t steamed enough.”
Amidst the online chatter, one particular comment drew attention by comparing Brunson’s dress to Meghan Markle’s fashion choices.
The commenter humorously asked, “Who forgot to iron this dress?
I know this is how it’s supposed to be, but no, just no.”
In response, Paister clarified that the fabric of Brunson’s dress was intentionally designed to have a crushed satin appearance.
She defended the choice, highlighting the beautiful silhouette, fabric, and color that complemented Brunson.
Paister also emphasized the distinction between intentionally crushed satin and Markle’s notorious wrinkled satin dresses.
Paister further expressed her distaste for Brunson’s dress, describing it as “not to my taste at all, kinda hiddy in fact.”
However, she emphasized that the designer’s choice should be respected and acknowledged as different from Markle’s fashion mishaps.
Paister took a swipe at Markle, criticizing her for consistently appearing unkempt, poorly dressed, and lacking a sense of style that flatters her body shape.
She questioned the praise Markle receives for her fashion sense and suggested that her refusal to seek expert advice stems from narcissism.
Adding to the discussion, personal stylist Lisa Talbot shared her insights on Markle’s fashion choices.
Talbot stated that Markle’s styling reflects her personality, noting that she tends to avoid formal and rigid looks.
According to Talbot, Markle’s decision to wear white at certain events was a deliberate nod to non-conformity, pushing the boundaries of what people expected her to wear.
Talbot concluded by labeling Markle’s fashion choices as a big mistake.
In conclusion, Jessica Paister defended Quinta Brunson’s creased dress, explaining that the intentional crushed satin fabric was designed to create a unique aesthetic.
She contrasted this with Meghan Markle’s consistent fashion blunders, attributing them to Markle’s refusal to seek professional advice.
