Anya Taylor-Joy is getting shamed as she shows off her slender figure at this year's Governors Awards.

Rocking a clingy gown with a challenging-looking waist corset and overlays, Anya dazzled in off-white, but not everyone was a fan of her look. Alongside getting told that her dress was straight-up ugly, Anya had one fan saying that her "fat rolls" were visible. Unfortunately, this comment gained likes.

Fans had plenty to say as Anya Taylor-Joy's cape dress made the outlet's headlines. Thinking that a bulge created by fabrics above the star's corset was "back fat," one fan replied: "What's with all these dresses that create a back fat roll on the rib cage? Hideous." Over 75 fans liked the reply.
Topping the replies with 120 upvotes was a comment reading: "I'm sorry, but that dress is absolutely horrid. It does her NO favors!" A third fan added: "That dress needs to be worn with a foundation garment of some sort, like a waspie." Anya gained over 100,000 Instagram likes for sharing her look, and the replies here were more positive.

"Wow, that dress is sexy! But I don't think it needs the tassels?! Anya looks amazing in it, though," one fan wrote as The Daily Mail covered the photos. Anya tends to wear a lot of Dior. She joins actress Alexandra Daddario in being signed to the luxury French label.
