Farrah Abraham has defended her controversial outfit at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, after being accused of cultural appropriation. The 25-year-old Teen Mom star walked the red carpet in Los Angeles wearing a Bollywood-inspired three-piece ensemble and headpiece, which she later described as a 'pyramids' look.
Speaking to TooFab, Abraham said she was unfazed by the backlash, stating: 'I wanted to bring culture to the red carpet. I think this will inspire others to embrace new cultures and have good experiences.' The outfit drew criticism online, with many accusing her of appropriating South Asian culture.
Abraham was not the only star to miss the style mark at the event. Alexandra Daddario was criticised for heavy eyeliner, Amandla Stenberg's striped dress was deemed overwhelming, and Camila Cabello's floral dress was considered underwhelming. Shannon Purser also drew criticism for a mismatched dress.
However, some stars impressed on the night. Cara Delevingne wore a black satin dress with silver embellishment and a cut-out, paired with over-the-knee boots and dramatic makeup. Hailee Steinfeld also turned heads in a pale purple cut-out gown and silver heels.
