Sherri Shepherd has made it clear that while she admires Megan Thee Stallion‘s talent, she has concerns about the rapper’s recent fashion choices. On a recent episode of Sherri, the talk show host praised Megan’s lyrical skills and intelligence but voiced disappointment over her outfit at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
A Message to Megan Thee Stallion: Fashion Choices Matter
“Megan Thee Stallion, I love you. I do,” Shepherd began. “But I’m so upset because God gave you a legitimate gift. You are amazing with your lyrical rhymes and how smart you are.” However, Shepherd questioned Megan’s decision to wear a dark green gown that she felt offered minimal coverage. Shepherd raised the point that young girls often look up to celebrities as role models and can be heavily influenced by their fashion choices.
Hollywood’s Red Carpet Trend: Too Much Revealed?
The talk show host expanded her critique to other stars who appeared in similar revealing outfits on the red carpet. She pointed to Julia Fox’s sheer dress and Zoë Kravitz’s revealing gown as examples of a trend that has been growing in Hollywood. “When I tell you the ladies bared it all on the red carpet, it was just almost too much to show on daytime TV,” Shepherd remarked. She also highlighted the fact that the outfits were so revealing that they had to be blurred out on her show.
Shepherd reminisced about a time when fashion encouraged more modesty and mystery, noting that previous generations of women were taught to leave a little to the imagination. “Nobody gets to use imagination,” she said, expressing concern that the current trend has removed the element of surprise and subtlety from red carpet fashion.
Auntie Sherri Speaks: Protecting the Next Generation
This isn’t the first time Sherri Shepherd has addressed the trend of revealing red carpet outfits. She previously commented on Bianca Censori’s barely-there Grammy’s outfit, mentioning how uncomfortable Censori seemed while standing in front of a crowd of men. Shepherd warned that although celebrities are surrounded by security, young fans who imitate these trends may find themselves in unsafe situations.
“I’m not trying to shame anybody,” Shepherd clarified, emphasizing that her concerns are about protecting the younger generation. “These young women are our future,” she added. “Auntie Sherri has spoken.” Shepherd’s message serves as a reminder that celebrities hold immense influence over their fans, and with that influence comes the responsibility to set positive examples.
