Lizzo Jokingly Labels Met Gala Critics ‘Fatphobic’ After Social Media Users Compare Her Dress To A Menstrual Cup, Among Other Things

Pop star Lizzo recently had some words for those critical of her Met Gala look.

The 36-year-old deemed anyone who took issue with her head-tuning ensemble as “fatphobic” after social media users shared their negative critiques of the outfit online.

Lizzo, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, recently uploaded some photos and videos from the fashion event held on Monday (May 6), writing the caption:

“IF IM NOT IN UR BEST DRESSED UR FATPHOBIC”

The “Good as Hell” songstress was one of many celebrities who attended the annual fashion event, which also saw draw-dropping outfits from Zendaya, Doja Cat, Tyla, and more. As far as Lizzo’s look goes, the fashion designer who crafted the dress shared that it took 700 hours to make, and was specifically modified to match the singer’s skin tone and body type. He told reporters about the look:

“honestly, now that the dress has been recreated for Lizzo, I like this version even better. It’s also perfect for showcasing her gorgeous body.”

Despite the effort put into the look, however, social media users have not been shy about sharing their unfiltered thoughts about the dress. The botanical sculptural gown thus far has been compared to a menstrual cup, a lampshade, and a dog cone, among other things.

However, Lizzo seems to be unfazed by the opinions of her haters. If you recall just last month, the Grammy Award winner made it clear that she would no longer be engaging with negative energy aimed her way after social media users chimed in on a viral video that inadvertently joked about her weight.

Additionally, Lizzo has also continued to face criticism while battling toxic workplace and sexual harassment claims made by some of her former dancers. The lawsuit is still ongoing.
