It’s called fashion, look it up. Quinta Brunson’s stylist Jessica Paster slammed critics of the Abbott Elementary star’s Emmys dress after several viewers commented on the look in an Instagram post and said the dress looked “wrinkled.”
“Guys guys guys … it’s crushed satin,” Jessica wrote in reply on Monday, January 15. “I knew you were gonna say something!! It’s beautiful silhouette [sic] on her and fabric … and the color is gorgeous on her.”

However, many fans said they understood that Quinta’s dress was supposed to look that way, and they still weren’t on board.
“I’m sorry but this is a huge miss. Love her and her stylist but rumpled fabric on the red carpet will never read anything other than a mess,” wrote one Instagram user.
Another person chimed in, “I just can’t get behind the intentional wrinkle trend. Beautiful color, terrible wrinkles.”

“Love the shape, hate the wrinkles. I know it’s supposed to be wrinkled with intention, but it just looks like it wasn’t steamed enough. Like it needed to be all the way wrinkled if that makes sense,” added someone else.
Fortunately, Quinta, 34, had plenty of people who loved the dark pink dress, wrinkles and all.
“I love it. Dior couture is an honor to wear!!” wrote one fan.

The actress added that she didn’t have a speech prepared because she wasn’t expecting to win. However, she managed to come up with a sweet message on the spot.
“I love my mom, my dad. My sisters, my brothers. My entire family so much. I love my husband. I’m so happy. I love my cast. Oh, I love Abbott Elementary,” she continued. “Thank you so much.”
