Recently we shared highlights from Cardi B’s Dancehall Passa Passa party held on Monday and while we talked about all of the outfits Lizzo’s dress has been a pretty hot topic.
Lizzo wore a Mathew Reisman dress called “New Moon” and she was styled by Jason Rembert.
The dress is completely sheer and many are comparing it to Rihanna’s 2014 sheer, Swarovski-crystal-encrusted Adam Selman gown that she wore to the CFDA Fashion Awards that year.
The issue is, the comparison is being done in defense of Lizzo wearing her dress, with Tweets making the point that if people are going to criticize Lizzo’s dress then they should criticize Rihanna’s dress as well.
This was one comparison:

Then the negativity started to roll in:
When Lizzo dropped the song Rumors with Cardi B she was pretty emotional about how the negativity affects her mental health especially when she drops a project.
On Twitter she wrote:
Loving yourself in a world that don’t love u back takes an incredible amount of self-awareness & a bullsh*t detector that can see through a**- backwards societal standards…
if u managed to love yourself today I’m proud of u.
If u haven’t, I’m still proud of u. This sh*ts hard
On live Thursday night she seemingly directly addressed her haters again on video:

People who saw her response did not agree with her approach even though they do sympathize with the way she feels about constantly being ridiculed.
We truly hope that Lizzo can find the happy medium between standing up for herself, living her best life, and drowning out the hate.
That isn’t an easy thing to do.
