Anthropologie gets torched for video of man dancing around in dresses and heels
Anthropologie, a store that sells women's clothing and other products, is getting pummeled on social media after posting a video of a man dancing around in dresses and heels.
"Twirl to the link in bio to shop bold, beautiful dresses for every solo," an Instagram post declared. The video features a man sporting several different outfits, including a pair of jeans and some dresses.
While comments are apparently disabled on the post, people have simply vented their displeasure by leaving comments on other Anthropologie Instagram posts.
"Of all the amazing women out there - and especially so close to Mother's Day - why couldn't you find a woman out there to showcase a dress? So done being erased. After thousands of years in the backseat, we are now fighting AGAIN for visibility. Women have NOT arrived," one person commented.
"You are leaving the post up despite the fact that you had to turn comments off because you know how insulted the majority of your consumers are?!! So much for women's rights and female spaces, huh? Anthro agrees it's a man's world and they are 100% on board. Message received loud and clear," another person wrote.
"Buying your clothing of course (sarcasm) since seeing what women's clothes look like on a man really helps me compare myself to what I'd look like in them," another commenter declared.
"Pathetic to turn off comments. Way to silence the voices of the actual women who shop and wear your clothes. Hope that dude and his friends will come shop because I have a feeling you just lost more customers than you gained with this one," someone wrote on a different post.
Anthropologie posted the controversial video despite the fact that Anheuser-Busch has been facing intense consumer backlash for enlisting transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney to advertise Bud Light beer.
@anthropologieofficial@theharperwatters is ready to slay the day with these #UnexpectedandUnforgettable looks! đź’“ Link in bio for these fabulous finds. #Anthrofinds #formalwear #newarrivals #tulledress

'Grow up': Nikki Haley dings Newsweek over dress-related request for comment
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley blasted Newsweek after a reporter reached out to request a comment related to the dress Haley apparently wore to her daughter's wedding.
"My name is Gerrard Kaonga and I'm a reporter at Newsweek. I wanted to reach out for comment following a slight backlash after Haley shared images from her daughter's wedding," the reporter wrote, according to a screenshot Haley posted on Twitter. "Some have argued Haley should not have worn her dress as it is too close to the bride's white. Does Nikki Haley have any comment regarding this? Did she and her daughter discuss and decide the dresses they would be wearing ahead of the ceremony? Any comment would be appreciated."
Haley criticized the outlet when sharing a screenshot of the message: "This is why people don't trust the media. Liberal 'journalists' spend their time harassing conservatives about outfit choices. Grow up, @Newsweek. P.S. The dress was gold."
On Sunday, Haley tweeted a photo of her family and wrote, "We had the sweetest weekend celebrating Rena and Josh. Thankful for our sweet family and friends who joined us in supporting and celebrating them. Rena and Josh, we could not be more proud of both of you!"
Haley, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during a portion of President Donald Trump's White House tenure, is one of the GOP candidates currently vying for the Republican presidential nomination. She also previously served as governor of South Carolina.
The Republican primary field includes Trump, Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, and Larry Elder — political watchers widely expect Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to jump in to the race eventually as well. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced a presidential exploratory committee.
