The actress of Stranger Things, Winona Ryder, rejoined Marc Jacobs in an advertisement that has only brought criticism for its “sexism”, as accused by the artist’s own followers and the brand.
The American actress Winona Ryder makes news once again, this time for a video recently released on the social networks of the North American firm Marc Jacobs.
Resuming her place as the face of the luxury brand, the actress from Stranger Things appears in the log using a black plunging neckline dress while holding a purse Glam Shot Green color.
However, what has generated the debate is that in the video the artist drinks a glass of milk, which spills over the outfit and her body as the camera pans close up to his chest.
As soon as the registration was announced, social networks did not hesitate to show their discontent. It was in the same comments on the video that several users accused the brand of “sexist” and “old-fashioned”.
There were some who went further and even accused Marc Jacobs of being “vulgar” and “cheap” for .
@romeocavalcante: Really? Why so sexist?! They can do better, I’m sure.
@victoriabalo: Really outdated. So disappointing, Marc Jacobs.
@esrapozan: What is the point? (a) Marc Jacobs can be cleaned very easily or is it sooo cheap that you can spill anything on it?
@bann.178: Really? The most clichéd and sexist ad…so unoriginal and outdated.
They were just some of the messages left by Internet users. The situation on other platforms was not much different. On Twitter, for example, several claimed that was “disgusting”.
Winona Ryder’s relationship with Marc Jacobs
It was in December 2001 that a video was released where actress Winona Ryder could be seen stealing from a Luxury store of Beverly Hills, Saks Fifth Avenueto be exact.
In the log you can see how Ryder extracts, among other things, a Marc Jacobs sweater valued at $750 back then.
After the actress was convicted of the theft of three years probation, several hours of community service, and a monetary finethe brand took advantage of the instance and took the theft as a strategy of marketing.
However, it was only after two years that the actress saw “fruits” of her vandalism, since she was contacted by the same brand to star in the Marc Jacobs spring 2003 campaign.
Since then, the relationship between the American firm and the actress has not stopped, since on several occasions Ryder has been the face of various beauty products and clothing manufactured by Jacobs.
