Anya Taylor Joy drew criticism after her stunning performance at the Dune: Part Two premiere in New York City.
The Queen’s Gambit sensation took to social media to show off her attire for the occasion, revealing her tiny body beneath the gold and black Maison Margiela gown.
The first photo in the carousel showed the actress flaunting her hourglass shape in a corset, prompting condemnation from detractors who labeled it a “promotion of starvation.”
Social media users slammed the actress, raising concerns over her body image and health.
One commentator asked, “Can we not normalize starvation?”
“Rough. I expected more from you, to be honest. “Thinness isn’t chic,” a second commenter commented.
Another member of the audience asked, “Do you realise how corsets are hurtful to women’s health and should not be promoted?”
However, before the actress could respond, her fans spoke up, emphasizing the possible benefits of wearing a correctly fitted corset.
“A good, custom-made, or simply one that fits you will never hurt you,” said an admirer.
“When worn and done correctly, they’re actually wonderful back support,” the second user emphasized.
