“Whoever did this… hates her” — Megan Thee Stallion’s Vanity Fair Oscars 2025 after-party outfit faces netizens’ disapproval

While rapper Megan Thee Stallion was not present at the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, she arrived at the annual Oscars after-party hosted by Vanity Fair.

The star-studded after party had guests including Timothée Chalamet, Halle Berry, Raye, Jenna Ortega, Mikey Madison, Pamela Anderson, Kendall Jenner, Demi Moore, Selena Gomez, Margaret Qualley, Lisa, Kaia Gerber, Sydney Sweeney, among others.

At the event, Megan Thee Stallion's body-hugging green feathered dress made headlines. As she arrived on the red carpet, two hosts asked her,

"What was your inspiration behind this?"

To which she answered she wanted to look like Poison Ivy, a popular DC Comics character.

"I really wanted to give like 'she's baring it all at Vanity Fair. She's definitely giving Poison Ivy."

The two hosts then asked if she'd dance at the party. Megan replied that she would stand still like the Oscar Award. She said:

"I'm not gonna lie to you; I'm standing still. I'm giving statue, I'm giving Oscar."

The rapper's Oscar after-party look was uploaded on Instagram by @theshaderoom, and it garnered varied responses from the netizens.

One netizen (@astoldbyshena) replied to the post and said the stylist who picked the rapper's dress might hate her. They wrote,

"Whoever did this… hates her."

Meanwhile, some netizens complimented Megan's dress. One netizen (@thechocolatedxll) defended her by stating the dress was picked by her stylist and not her, and that's why she shouldn't be blamed.

Another (@bronzedchocolate) claimed that since netizens accepted Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, they should keep quiet about Megan Thee Stallion.
