Shailene Woodley's stylist responds to 'super rude and mean' reaction to the actor's Emmys outfit

Shailene Woodley's stylist has responded to the harsh criticism that the actress received for her Emmy Awards outfit — a periwinkle halter top, gold sequined pants and long burgundy gloves — created by Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.

"Love or hate something fine but it's an opinion and it can even be a conversation but being super rude and mean and taking glee from it, well that says a lot more about the mouths it's coming from," Karla Welch wrote on Threads Tuesday alongside a black heart emoji.

On Wednesday, the stylist, who has worked with Olivia Wilde, Elisabeth Moss and Justin and Hailey Bieber, also posted a photo to Instagram of Woodley's couture look. The image was preceded by a slide saying "Trigger Warning."

Woodley won her first career Emmy, taking home the award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Paradise at the Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 6. At that ceremony, she wore a Brandon Maxwell-designed white minidress.

For Monday's Emmys telecast, Woodley showed up on the red carpet in an ensemble that drew criticism online , including comparisons to an outfit chosen by ChatGPT.

"Shailene Woodley appears to have played closet roulette," Yahoo's Kerry Justich wrote .

Woodley wore the outfit onstage to present the Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.

At one point inside the Peacock Theater, Woodley was photographed wearing a black blazer alongside Nicole Kidman, her Big Little Lies costar.

For Disney's Emmys afterparty, Woodley showed up sans gloves in a vintage T-shirt promoting the 1986 film Home of the Brave . But she still had on those gold sequined pants.
