Yesterday, Quinta Brunson made a momentous achievement at the Emmys, becoming the first Black actress in 42 years to win the award for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her role in Abbott Elementary. This groundbreaking win has been met with widespread excitement and celebration. Notably, Quinta is a former BuzzFeeder, adding to the collective joy of seeing her succeed in the entertainment industry.
While Quinta's win created a buzz, it was her choice of attire for the event that also garnered attention. Donning a Dior dress, she sparked a conversation about her fashion choice. Some speculated about the intentional wrinkles on her dress, which provoked diverse opinions and reactions.
The conversation reached a point where Quinta's stylist, Jessica Paster, stepped in to defend the look on @checkthetag's Instagram comment section. Jessica, who also styled Aubrey Plaza for the occasion, clarified that the intentionally 'rumpled' appearance was deliberate. To someone who expressed criticism, she explained, 'Guys, guys, guys, it's crushed satin,' emphasizing the beauty of the silhouette, fabric, and color on Quinta. When another comment suggested that Quinta's stylist 'hates her,' Jessica quickly countered, expressing her deep admiration for Quinta.
In response to a comment referencing her previous appearance at the Golden Globes, where the dress also had a wrinkle-like effect, someone coined Quinta's recent red carpet looks as the 'season of wrinkles.' Jessica swiftly responded, playfully remarking, 'As long as that beautiful face doesn't have one wrinkle we are good.'
Undoubtedly, Quinta remains focused on her monumental achievement and the joy of winning the prestigious award. The negative comments about her choice of attire likely pale in comparison to the overwhelming support and recognition she has received for her groundbreaking win. Quinta Brunson's success at the Emmys is an inspiration and a testament to her talent and hard work, solidifying her place as an influential figure in the entertainment industry.
