Phoebe Dynevor received mixed feedback to her 2022 Met Gala look, one seeing her repping the Louis Vuitton brand she is now signed to. Joining stars at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as that year's theme challenged celebrities to honor the In America: An Anthology of Fashion theme, the actress stunned in a sheer, mesh black dress with a lacy bodice and overlayered miniskirt, but not everyone seeing her fashion choice approved. While her Instagram fans left over 900,000 likes, users on The Daily Mail were less keen. While one called her look "awful," another said that it would be better "for the bedroom."

Scroll for the photos. Flashing her toned legs and hints of her tummy in her sleeveless gown, Phoebe placed her hands on her waist as she drew the eye from her sheer and opaque bodice to her layered skirt. With tulle fabrics forming mesh netting that fell to the floor, the Bridgerton star was checking boxes for the maxi trend, but she'd jazzed things up with a ruffled miniskirt finish worn over her see-through dress.

Mixing spot prints with regal embellishments on her bodice, Phoebe highlighted her slender waistline and arms as she wowed in just-about-visible high heels, with a center-parted hairdo perfectly flattering her features.
Marking her first Met Gala on Instagram, Phoebe Dynevor told fans: "It was such an honor attending my first Met gala with @louisvuitton @nicolasghesquiere A night to remember. And thank you to my incredible team for putting this look together @nicky_yates @sofiatilbury @cwoodhair."

Over on The Daily Mail, shamers appeared out to give the British beauty a hard time. "What a silly outfit meant for the bedroom," one user harshly wrote. Noting that they'd loved a prior look from Phoebe, another replied: "She looked so charming at the Prince's Trust thing. Well, I suppose that's a very different crowd. The Met Gala used to be a classy event but now it's overrun with reality show people and B-listers. Oh well..."
Last Laugh As Louis Vuitton Ambassador

Phoebe may have had a few trolls mocking her Louis Vuitton look, but she's having the last laugh. The star is now a global ambassador for the Kardashian-adored designer, joining high-profile LV ambassadors Zendaya and Ana de Armas. In May, she was flown out to attend the Louis Vuitton Show in Barcelona, Spain.
"I really feel so very lucky to witness @nicolasghesquiere spectacular @louisvuitton shows but this one was particularly special. Holy smokes. Gracias Barcelona," she wrote on Instagram, tagging the brand's Creative Director. While she no longer stars on Netflix series Bridgerton, Phoebe Dynevor and her $2 million net worth are still turning heads.
