A celebrated Olympic gymnast has publicly called out a major celebrity fashion line, claiming that its garments do not match their stated sizes. The athlete shared her experience on social media after receiving a blazer from the popular brand.
In a post this week, the gold medalist posted a photo of herself wearing the item, which was labeled as an extra-small size. Despite her petite stature, the jacket appeared excessively large. “This is not an XXS/XS,” she wrote in a pointed message directed at the brand’s founder.
The post sparked a significant reaction online. Many supporters, particularly those who also wear smaller sizes, echoed the frustration, citing ongoing difficulties in finding well-fitting clothing from mainstream brands. “It’s so discouraging when items labeled for smaller frames don’t fit as advertised,” one commenter noted.
However, other observers suggested that an “oversized” design is inherently meant to be loose-fitting, regardless of the wearer’s size. Some responses took a more humorous tone regarding the fit on a smaller frame.
The criticized clothing collection, launched by a high-profile media personality, has been a commercial success since its debut, reportedly generating millions in sales within its first hour. The founder has previously emphasized her deep personal involvement in every aspect of the brand, from design to marketing, stating the project is a very personal endeavor.
The gymnast, recently honored with a doctorate for her contributions, has been traveling internationally and delivering university commencement speeches. Her recent activities stand in contrast to the fashion entrepreneur’s focused work on the brand.
The incident highlights ongoing conversations about sizing consistency and fit in the fashion industry, especially when products are marketed to a wide audience.
