“Sooooooooo, #Dior & #JenniferLawrence wanna celebrate traditional Mexican women … by having a rich white woman named Jennifer be the face of this campaign?!” writes Phoebe Robinson, co-host of the HBO show 2 Dope Queens, on Instagram. “The audacity to call this … modern because it’s worn by a white woman is ignorant and gross, but unfortunately, not surprising.”
