Lana Condor's appearance on the pink carpet at the Fashion Trust Awards seems to have drawn out the pearl clutchers.

The Awards, an event honouring emerging designers, held in Los Angeles on Tuesday, was attended by a parade of celebs and designers, including Pamela Anderson, Mindy Kaling, Brittany Snow, Zac Posen and Olivia Wilde. But Lana, wearing an ivory-coloured dress from a little-known haute couture and bridal designer, House of Gilles, has drawn 1.9 million views and a cavalcade of snarky comments on Instagram and X.

Yes, it's about her boobs. And no, we shouldn't be talking about women's bodies.

But, given this sort of commentary is so damaging, not just to the celebrity, who is a real person, but the millions of women with completely normal, wonderful bodies, who receive a message that they're somehow obscene, I think we're going to have to talk about it.

So, to continue. The dress really showcased her boobs and everyone had a (negative) opinion they needed to give voice to. Comments ranged from calls to fire her stylist to pleas for "support" to other hurtful missives we don't need to go into here. And we're just wondering if people have forgotten what a real pair of breasts looks like?

Because, while people might claim to care about propriety and modesty, Olivia Wilde was at the same event wearing a bra for a top and — get this — nobody seemed to care.

In fact, the comment section is peppered with fire emojis. So the message is clear: if you are thin, it's okay to show off your body? Otherwise, Oh no! Real boobs on a normal human woman! What an unforgivable faux pas!

If we look at singer Kali Uchis at the same event, she's showing just as much boob as Lana. But, again, the only comments she received were heart face emojis. It reminds us of Sydney Sweeney at any given red carpet event, where she's often showing just as much skin as Lana was at the awards.

But there are no calls to fire her stylist because…?

Oh! Because her boobs are totally spherical and sitting up high. Which, good for Sydney, but that's not the anatomy of your average woman who is waking up every day struggling not to hate her physical self — and that's even before she logs onto Instagram.

Boobs, just like apples and everything else not on board the NASA Artemis space mission, are subject to gravity. This is what happens, people! Or have you been so busy consuming a different type of "media" on your laptop you forgot?

Listen to this episode of Mamamia Out Loud, to see what women are actually talking about. Post continues below.

It's kind of upsetting to think that as long as parts of a woman's body resemble a very narrow definition of beauty; one that the average person is unlikely to have, everyone is okay with it.

But as soon as a young woman with some heavy naturals decides to leave them be, she's immediately chastised by the entire internet. We saw it on this season of MAFS. Women with a certain physique could show skin, while other participants who had normal boobs, had viewers concerned.

Lana Condor, probably best known for her starring role in To All The Boys I've Loved Before, has been in the public eye since she was 11.

The path from child star to adult actress is never easy, especially if, like Lana, there's a personal history of body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

Condor has worked hard at loving herself and her body. As she told Elle in 2019, "I think it's time to give people comfort. You have to eat. You have to stop thinking that a certain body shape is ideal, because it's not."

We couldn't agree more.
