Businesswoman and actress Queen’s game posted a photo in a corset a few days apart, revealing a very toned figure. It is enough to be the target of criticism on social networks.
On February 25, Anya Taylor-Joy published a photo of the outfit chosen for the New York premiere on her Instagram page. You II, the film directed by Denis Villeneuve. Her choice fell on a Maison Margiela dress, under which she had to wear a corset. A detail that she reveals in another black and white photo, a very defined waist, both hands hiding her chest.
A few hours later, it was Kim Kardashian’s turn to post a photo of herself in a Mugler corset with a tight chest and an accentuated waist.
Both did not manage to cause a number of negative comments. Indeed, many on the net are decrying the inhibition this sends to women and young girls. The corset primarily conveys an image of restraint. Then clichés that can encourage the cult of extreme thinness. “Yeah, let’s set more unrealistic standards and expectations for women,” “We all understand the power of influencers and marketing and making money off of photos, but for someone who has daughters herself, this is something you want to that they may be admired.” you can read under Kim Kardashian’s post. Next to the actress of the series queen game the same speech. “Yes, promoting body dysmorphia again!! Shame on you”, “This is not a healthy look for women”, “Anya, I love you, but please don’t post things that could be dangerous for your young fans”, “Do you know how harmful corsets are for women for”: Health and should not be promoted… Moreover, Kim Kardashian already wore a corset at the Met Gala in 2019 and admitted that she “never hurt so much in her life.
Faced with this wave of comments, some fans of Anya Taylor-Jo, on the other hand, came out to defend the actress and condemn the body shaming that thin people can fall victim to. “How come people think it’s unhealthy to be so skinny?” “Y’all need to stop the body shaming. Thin people naturally exist, and some of you swear it can only happen with an eating disorder.”
Either way, this corset outfit marks new controversy for the actress, who was already accused of cultural appropriation in her Dior outfit at the London premiere. A way to draw attention to the chessboard of casting (Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh…) who are particularly gifted to create a sensation due to their looks.
