Actress Thanh Thuy received vocal criticism for her ‘overly sexy’ attire on an episode of the hit Vietnamese dance sport television series Dancing with the Stars on June 19.
The actress who sported a daring white ball gown with a split to her thigh and fishnet tights was heavily criticised by the audience in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
Speaking with Dantri, the 30 year-old actress tried to brush aside the criticism, assigning the supposed scandal to a wardrobe malfunction. “In the previous rounds, the outfits we had were created by Hanoi-based fashion designers. This live show was scheduled to take place in Vung Tau City, so, I ordered a design in Ho Chi Minh City. As soon as I tried the dress on, I realised it was a bit different to how I expected, however, it was too late for me to replace it with a new one. I knew the dress would cause comments, but I couldn’t do anything about it.”
However, Thanh Thuy won’t be able to shock future audiences as she was surprisingly knocked out of the competition despite receiving great support from her fans. Thanh Thuy was not the only one criticised at the show. Singer Thuy Tien was also panned for a dress which revealed too much of her bust.
This is the second dance sport contest in Vietnam, the first was held in 2010.
