The dark-skinned star of "Odyssey" caused a scandal by appearing at the premiere in a "naked" dress

Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong'o, who played the role of Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra in Christopher Nolan's new film Odyssey, appeared at the premiere of the film in London in a defiant outfit. Fans of the actress in social networks ambiguously perceived her image.

For the premiere, Nyong'o chose a shining silver dress by the British brand Christian Cowan. A distinctive feature of the outfit was the deep cutouts on the sides of the dress, demonstrating the absence of noticeable underwear on the actress.

"On anyone else, it would look like the person just forgot to put on underwear," "She's amazing. But the dress is disgusting. It looks cheap, like an item from Amazon for $10 with free shipping. There are threads sticking out on the neck and shoulders, and in some areas there are no seams at all — only crumbling fabric," "I was shocked when I opened the comments and found that it seemed that I was the only one who didn't like this image. Lupita always looks great, but I don't like this dress at all," "Why do stars always try to appear naked?" — users are outraged.

However, many observers also noted that it is Lupita Nyong'o who does not look vulgar in this outfit and only she was able to remain gorgeous.

As EADaily reported, back in February of this year, when rumors surfaced about the black performer of the role of one of the most beautiful women in history — Helen of Troy — Lupita Nyong'o, social networks simply exploded with a lot of outraged comments. Users pointed out that the choice of the actress was "disgusting," "Elena Troyanskaya is literally described with white hair," and Nolan made a choice in favor of "political correctness."

The first trailer of the picture again caused negative responses, the director was accused of removing black actors from the picture — there was not a single scene with them in the trailer. The intrigue with Helen of Troy also continued to persist.

American businessman Elon Musk has repeatedly spoken derogatorily about Nolan, accusing the filmmaker of "desecrating" Homer for the sake of political correctness and the opportunity to be nominated for an Oscar, which, by the way, Nolan already has.
