What Is The 'Charli D'Amelio Coachella Dress' Controversy?

The music festival Revolve Fest recently took place in California, coinciding with the second day of Coachella 2024. Many social media personalities were in attendance, including Charli D'Amelio, who arrived to the festival in a see-through dress and no bra that revealed her full chest.

This choice came as a surprise to many as videos and photos of Charli, in which her full upper body is exposed, started going viral online. While many supported her decision to wear the dress and saw it as an empowering slay, others found it inappropriate and began voicing negative opinions on Charli and the outfit online. Some haters wrote that "the old Charli" never would have worn such a dress, while defenders reminded them that Charli is an adult who can make her own decisions.

How Did Charli D'Amelio Respond To The Controversy?

The other day, Charli decided to respond to the criticism with a TikTok video that gained over 34 million views in just under a day. In the video, Charli acts as if she has a dramatic announcement or confession to make to her audience. Then, in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, she reveals that she does, in fact, have the same body parts that every other woman has, ending the video with, "that's all that I can say about this right now, I'm sorry."

The video comes after a massive wave of criticism across social media, including TikTok videos expressing shock about the outfit. Essentially, Charli used the video to tell people that she doesn't really care about the criticism and is comfortable showing her body however she wants.
