Aubrey Plaza Wanted 'Underboob,' Claims Stylist In Defense Of SAG Awards Dress
By Rima Pundir on March 2, 2023 at 2:30 PM EST
A lot has been said about Aubrey Plaza's underboob-showing Michael Kors dress at the SAG Awards. Finally, it seems her stylist got a tad fed up and clapped back at the haters, declaring underboobs were the demand of the day!
Given that Aubrey Plaza herself gushed about the dress and the 76,000 sequins on it, perhaps we should let Plaza and her boobs be. No? But first, Jenna Ortega and Aubrey Plaza are the couple we didn't know we needed.
Can Someone Cast Jenna Ortega & Aubrey Plaza Together?
Aubrey Plaza is certainly proving to be a woman's woman, given that she brought her co-star from "Parks And Recreation" Amy Poehler as her plus one and called it "the best date ever!" More on that later. But first, whoever put Jenna Ortega and Aubrey Plaza together deserved an Oscar or a SAG at the very least.
As they both strode on stage to present the award for best male actor in a television movie or limited series, their deadpan stares created a viral moment that has gone down in social media and SAG history!
"The White Lotus" star then said, "I don’t know why they paired us up together." Ortega, the star of "Wednesday" responded with a "Yeah" and an extended pause before saying, "I know, we have nothing in common."
"We should find the people who did this," Plaza added, and Ortega then chimed in with, "And curse their families." The two deadpan women then chanted in unison, "and watch as misfortune follows their bloodline for the next seven generations."
"OK, I see it now," uttered Plaza as the camera panned to a laughing audience, zooming in on a tickled Adam Sandler.
Someone think of a new series, quick!

Aubrey Plaza Loved Her '70s Glam Michael Kors Dress
Aubrey Plaza certainly seemed all gung-ho about her Michael Kors dress for SAG. She told Vogue, "I [always] want to feel like an elevated version of myself. I like to feel sexy, comfortable, and true to myself as much as I can."
She channeled the same energy for her SAG awards dress and her "screen siren" inspiration came to life in a shimmery bronze Michael Kors Collection custom dress. The crisscross neckline and cutout exposing the abdomen was Plaza's perfect idea of a "modern ’70s vibe."
She gushed about the dress, saying, "I loved the beautiful brown color of the dress and the sexy cutouts. It felt sexy but not overdone. Glamorous and chic." She also accessorized her look with Mouawad jewelry valued at more than $1.2 million!
Later, she posted pictures of her at SAG, in the dress, with the caption, "Best dress ever! Best date ever! Best team ever! Thank you @michaelkors for this beautiful custom dress making me feel like a 70’s movie star."

While most fans loved to see "Leslie and April" together, there were many who felt the dress was not such a great fit for Aubrey. This was compounded by the fact that while onstage to accept the SAG award for best ensemble cast for "The White Lotus", Plaza looked angry and was thought to have mouthed "Jesus Christ" rather angrily after nearly being elbowed by two of her co-stars. But another co-star of hers, Jon Grier also confirmed that she was not upset.
Stylist Jessica Paster Claps Back At The Trolls
Recently, when Instagram handle "Check The Tag" posted deets on the dress, it got even more of a social backlash. One comment read, "the straps could be better adjusted, but I love the color, and hair and makeup look amazing."
Plaza's stylist of 17 years, Jessica Paster, replied, tongue-in-cheek: "did 7 fittings ... for real ... I wanted underboob."
Another commenter followed up to say, "Underboob is fine but that’s not what’s happening here. Her boobs look completely squished down. The fit did nothing for Aubrey. Nothing is wrong with her body, it’s the dress that’s fitted wrong."
Paster kept her silence post this, and let the stunning dress do its talking for her, even as plenty of fans crowded Aubrey Plaza's IG page to assure her that she looked like an absolute bomb.
