Quinta Brunson made history by becoming the first Black actor in 42 years to win an Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her work in Abbott Elementary at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Unfortunately, her victory was upstaged by a viral meme sparked by the crinkled Christian Dior gown she donned for the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Monday night.

Social media users couldn't help but joke about ironing the wrinkles out of her pink dress.

Unbeknownst to the online jokesters, however, the unevenly textured aesthetic was a deliberate choice made by the designer.

Brunson's stylist, Jessica Paster—a.k.a. @highheelprncess on Instagram—defended the Emmy winner's look in the @checkthetag Instagram page's comments section.

In response to a critic who said the look was a "huge miss" and how "rumpled fabric" would "never read anything other than a mess" on the red carpet, Paster tried to mitigate the criticism.

She wrote:

"Guys guys guys… It’s crushed satin… I knew you were gonna say something!! It’s beautiful silloette [sic] on her and fabric… and the color is gorgeous on her."

In response to a fan who claimed Brunson's stylist "HATES her" and went on a "justice for Quinta!" campaign, Paster replied:
"I adore her sooo much!!"

Despite Paster's valiant effort to convince fans that the look was a hit, it was still interpreted as a sartorial miss.

Not everyone was harsh, and some agreed the color choice was a win.

Brunson is an executive producer, co-writer, and star of the beloved ABC mockumentary series, which centers on lead character Janine Teagues, a highly optimistic second-grade teacher at a fictional, underfunded school in Philadelphia.

The 34-year-old alum of Chicago's Second City improv group previously made history in 2022 for being the first Black woman to be nominated three times in the comedy category, one for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, which she won, one for Outstanding Comedy Series as an executive producer, and another for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Despite all the hot takes from the fashion police, Brunson still came out of the 75th Primetime Emmys a major champion, crushed satin dress and all!

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
