A celebrated Olympic gymnast has publicly criticized a popular celebrity fashion line after receiving an item that did not match its stated size.
The athlete shared a photo on social media wearing a faux leather blazer labeled as an extra-small or extra-extra-small. In the image, the garment appears dramatically oversized, despite the individual’s petite stature. The caption accompanying the post directly addressed the brand’s founder, calling the sizing “a crime.”
The post sparked a divided reaction online. Many supporters, particularly those of a smaller build, echoed the frustration, citing ongoing challenges in finding well-fitting clothing. Others questioned the expectation that an intentionally oversized design would fit like a tailored piece on a smaller frame.
Despite this critique, the fashion label in question has been a commercial success since its launch, reportedly generating significant revenue within its first hour of sales. The founder has previously emphasized her deep personal involvement in all creative and operational aspects of the brand, from design to marketing.
The gymnast, recently honored with an honorary doctorate, has been traveling internationally and delivering commencement addresses, showcasing a schedule distinct from the fashion world’s latest controversy.
