People Are Truly Divided Over This Iconic Zendaya Met Gala Look
Zendaya is, without a doubt, one of the Met Gala's most iconic and anticipated guests.
She killed it in 2015 when the theme was "China: Through The Looking Glass."
She looked stunning in 2017 when the theme was "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons."
And she absolutely gagged the girls in 2018 with my personal favorite, her "Heavenly Bodies" look:
Gorg.
But one look is waaaaay more polarizing than I thought, and the discourse around it has taken over my timeline.
people HATED the zendaya cinderella dress??? WHt

It's her 2019 Cinderella look.
The theme of that Met Gala was "Camp: Notes on Fashion"
Some people loved it.

This person called it one of the top 10 worst red carpet looks of all-time.
The way I’d not only rate this top ten worst met gala looks but perhaps one of the worst red carpet looks - of all time, ever. https://t.co/rFvw0hvjpg

This person went so far as to call it a "crime" against fashion.
A crime against fashion and everything it stands for. Don't even know where to begin with this one. https://t.co/O3pTRdKFwZ

Not everyone is such a hater, though!

"They're saying this was a flop when she was actually one of the few that got the theme right," another chimed in.

Ultimately, I like anything that lights up.
