The Internet is truly a slippery slope because one minute, you find fans swooning over a star like there is no tomorrow, and the next, you find them blasting off at that very icon. Although Sydney Sweeney has never fallen short of fan-favoritism, the speculations surrounding her separation from finance Jonathan Davino, followed by her latest reunion with Glen Powell at his sister’s wedding, have prompted some change of heart. While the frustration was more or less visible, fans have more recently started outraged over the pettiest thing—Sweeney’s dress at the wedding—and the reason will definitely shock the world.

Sydney Sweeney had been behind the most wholesome Hollywood headlines for years, until tabloids began to focus on what looks like trouble in her romantic paradise. While the speculation was ongoing, her attendance at Glen Powell’s sister, Leslie’s, wedding in his native Texas, sparked dating rumors that just would not die down. Though Sweeney already faced backlash, mostly over the gossip grapevine, pictures of her powder-blue corset dress prompted an even more brutal criticism online.
