Sophie Turner, the renowned Game of Thrones actress, has fired back at online critics who shamed her for wearing a striking snake-print dress while out in New York City. The 27-year-old star, who shares two daughters with husband Joe Jonas, took to social media to address the backlash.
Turner was photographed in the eye-catching ensemble during a casual outing, sparking a wave of unsolicited comments about her parenting choices. The actress didn’t hold back in her response, calling out the double standards faced by mothers in the public eye.
Standing Her Ground
In a now-viral post, Turner emphasised that a woman’s wardrobe has no bearing on her ability to be a loving and capable parent. "Since when did a dress determine someone’s motherhood skills?" she wrote, accompanied by an eye-roll emoji.
The star’s fans quickly rallied behind her, flooding the comments with messages of support. Many pointed out the glaring hypocrisy of judging mothers for their fashion choices while fathers face no such scrutiny.
A Pattern of Mom-Shaming
This isn’t the first time Turner has faced criticism since becoming a mother. The actress has previously spoken out about the intense pressure placed on celebrity moms to "bounce back" after childbirth.
Her latest clapback serves as a powerful reminder that parenting – and personal style – shouldn’t be subject to public approval. As one supporter commented: "Let women wear what they want without turning it into a parenting debate."
