“Somebody called it ‘extremely vulgar’ and it became this huge controversy on the internet,” she said during asit-down interview withHarper’s Bazaaron Thursday. “I was in my 20s and just, like, hadn’t registered that it was so sexy, because there is a panel in the middle, but it looks like there isn’t.”

After looking through some of her fashion choices during the “Fashion Flashback” episode, she says that the Julien Macdonald dress is “the most controversial dress” she’s ever worn.
“I was basically called out for wanting attention, which I think is interesting because you go to red carpets for attention, basically,” she said, expressing that the criticism didn’t affect her.
“I still think I look great,” she said.
