Cardi B Has Proven Everyone’s Point After Pharrell Williams Sparked Backlash For Telling Sabrina Carpenter She Can’t Wear Pants To The Met Gala Because She Is Short

Referencing her height, which is just five feet barefoot, Sabrina told Vogue’s YouTube host La La Anthony: “He was like: ‘You’re quite short, so no pants for you.’ So here we are.”

However, the amateur fashion police who were watching the Met carpet unfold from the comfort of their homes found Pharrell’s comments to Sabrina a bit of a cop-out.

One popular tweet read: “If Pharrell did tell Sabrina she’s too short for a pants look, that’s him saying they don’t know how to tailor down at LV HQ, lol.”

“That’s what I thought too when she said it like ummmm missed opportunity to show off tailoring skills!” somebody else replied. 

Another wrote: “As a (very) short woman, like sabrina, I nearly got offended by his comment. It's limiting and degrading for short women. And it's dumb and lazy cause wearing pants has nothing to do with height and everything to do with tailoring, fitting and style.”

In case you didn’t know, Cardi is also famed for how petite she is, with the star just 5 feet and 3 inches tall — something that people were quick to point out in relation to Sabrina’s look.

Sharing Cardi’s Met photos on X, a popular tweet reads: “And this is the art of great tailoring, they made her legs look so long. You wouldn't think this babe is 5’3.”

“This is a great example for why Pharrell’s comments about Sabrina’s height were so uncalled for,” another user wrote in response, somebody else echoed: “Which makes Pharrell’s idea to go pantless with Sabrina even MORE of a miss.”

“This is why it was crazy that pharell said sabrina couldn't wear pants because she's too short. Pants can make you look tall!!” another argued.

It all started when an X user mocked up what Sabrina could have worn to better suit her body type, turning the burgundy bodysuit into pants and adding a hat. 

In a lengthy thread, the user wrote: “I would never suggest this color or the ‘ringmaster’ costume to begin with, but it’s a perfect example of how dressing against your body type can go horribly wrong. In her interview, she said the designer suggested she go pantless because she’s already petite.

“But actually, it’s quite the opposite. The contrast between the dark brown and her bare legs and the dark shoes again is chopping off her already tiny body at 3 different sections. Breaking down each element in detail: 1. The stuffy collar is making her neck look constricted and short. 2. The sharp shoulders also contribute to the illusion of added height.

“3. Not to mention, the sleeves look very stuffy, and the tailoring is completely off, so removing the sleeves shifts focus back to her waist. 4. The oversized buttons on either end are adding the illusion of wider waist. 5. Adding vertical lines is the main key to the illusion of taller height. 6. Finally, a top hat with big feathers could’ve easily added more drama and the much needed 6-8 inches to her perceived height.”
