Rebel Wilson’s Sailor Outfit Controversy in “Pitch Perfect 3”
In “Pitch Perfect 3,” audiences universally adored the sailor outfits worn by the Barden Bellas. Still, Rebel Wilson’s portrayal of Fat Amy stood out due to a subtle difference in her attire. While the other Bellas sported striped halter tops, Wilson’s Fat Amy wore a cap-sleeved, scoop-neck tee version. This distinction sparked debate among fans, with many taking to social media to express disappointment and accuse the wardrobe choice of being size discriminatory.
Addressing the controversy, the movie’s costume designer, Salvador Perez, took to Twitter to clarify that each actor had autonomy over their costume fittings, emphasizing that it was their individual choice. Despite the differing opinions, Wilson’s wardrobe choice prompted discussions surrounding body representation in Hollywood and the importance of empowering actors to make decisions about their characters’ appearances.
