Cynthia Erivo has been an inspiration for fashion enthusiasts who look up to her for her unique style statement and ability to pull experimental looks effortlessly. However, her recent outfit in the National Board of Review (NBR) invited trolls. Hey, everyone is allowed to have an outfit disaster, right?
Cynthia made a stunning appearance in Loewe dress at the NBR Awards, following her Ariana Grande co-starred musical fantasy Wicked. Even though fashion is subjective, fan reactions imply that maybe it wasn't the right choice of apparel for her.
The Internet feeds on opportunities to criticize, and it was no exception this time. At least the criticism was funny for this one. They commented that she might be hiding a furniture under the dress:
"Me when I'm hiding a table under my dress"
Several netizens deployed their creative brain cells as soon as the pictures dropped, and the remarks will leave you in stitches.
Internet React to Cynthia Erivo's Look at the NBR
I am the table (via bra_lat/X)
Bringing something to the table is old-school. Why would you rather contribute to a shared table when you can be the entire table. Take it or leave!
UNO! (via pvaches/X)
Who even plays card games without being sneaky? There's no such thing as an honest UNO player. So, better sneak those cards under your clothes and call UNO. If you don't do it, someone else will. Shake your ethics off before opening the pack of cards.
Carry your own table (via drketa_mine/X)
Tired of feeling left out at a table? Too anxious to sit at a crowded table with strangers? Exhausted from waiting in long queues at restaurants? Introducing the table concealer dress.
Missing the plot (via mikotogaa/X)
Not furniture anymore! It's our favorite Ariana Grande chilling in there. Does it throw light upon the plot of Wicked? If so, bringing your co-actor as a part of the look is a different level of innovation. Wish we could carry our friends beneath the dresses to socially awkward gatherings.
Is it snacks? (via carinathecreatr/X)
A utility dress, indeed! The fact that you need to sneak in food to watch your favorite movie speaks volumes about fundamental rights. Why can't I just chomp on a flaming bag of Cheetos I bought with my own money in a theater? Nonetheless, this dress is all that we need.
Any level of good? (Via MizzyAnthropist/X)
We haven't been in her shoes or, rather, her dress, so we are in no place to judge the aesthetics. She did manage to carry it smoothly, even though the dress made her choice questionable.
Shirt was too big (via MRCoast86/X)
Growing up with siblings was all about getting used to clothes that did not fit you. That's the cheat code to wear a shirt without feeling too tight.
Amid the memes and funny reactions, Cynthia Erivo turned heads at the NBR Awards. She has stirred various supportive and critical responses from her fans. Nonetheless, experimental style statements are the most iconic ones and are cherished through Pinterest mood boards.
