Aubrey Plaza’s stylist defends her ‘underboob’ at 2023 SAG Awards

Aubrey Plaza’s cleavage was secured.

The “White Lotus” star sparkled on the SAG Awards 2023 red carpet in a copper Michael Kors gown featuring a sexy cutout and crisscrossed straps.

However, once Plaza, 38, hit the stage with her co-stars to accept the award for Best Ensemble Cast, she appeared “annoyed” and could be seen clutching at her top and mouthing “Jesus Christ.”

While fans praised her “hot” ab-baring look and figured she was simply trying to ward off a wardrobe malfunction in front of cameras, the actress’ stylist, Jessica Paster, shut down speculation that her annoyance was due to her outfit.

Replying to a person who left a comment on popular account Check the Tag’s Instagram — “The straps could be better adjusted, but i love the color, and hair and makeup look amazing,” they wrote — Paster wrote, “did 7 fittings .. for real … I wanted underboob 😍.”

Stylist Jessica Paster defending the look against those who said it was ill-fitting, revealing that the former “Parks and Recreation” star went through many fittings to have the crisscrossed top fit perfectly.

Other commenters were a bit more blunt.

“This fit is horrible and not flattering on her at all,” one person said. Another commenter fired a direct shot at Paster, saying, “Her stylist obviously does not have a [sic] eye for proportions & fit cause this does not look good on her.”

A third wrote, “You just stare at the middle of the dress… too bare makes it a tacky 70s American Gangster costume,” while a fourth remarked, “So tired of the whole ‘How naked can I be in public without getting arrested?’ look.”
