Bazaar 5,752 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The posting of a photograph of Israeli actress Gal Gadot in a dress by Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab has caused consternation on social media. Israel and Lebanon have technically been at war since 1948, and Lebanon boycotts its southern neighbour. "I love and respect Elie Saab, but is he really happy an Israeli actress wore a dress he designed?" asked Lebanon journalist Heba Bitar on Twitter. The picture of Gadot has since been removed from Saab's Instagram account. The image of the Wonder Woman star in a blue sash dress by Saab and was accompanied by a description of the former Israel Defense Forces combat trainer as "flawless". http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42647021 I find it quite upsetting and sad that people react that way over an Instagram post.

Edonis 28,950 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 As a Lebanese person, I can say that there are much more important things to be getting upset about I personally don’t care at all for Gal Gadot or her politics, but I’m not going to pretend that I’m offended by her wearing a dress by a Lebanese designer.

Yeah but fashion really has had this kind of reaction throughout the times. I mean, I think it’s ridiculous, but it’s also interesting how a piece of clothing can affect people. Even though we all say “it’s just a dress,” our dress actually has a lot of meaning and symbolism throughout cultures. Just interesting for me.

Addison Rae 16,439 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 are people really that divisive where they can’t just let a girl wear a dress without making it involve a countries conflict sitting on his lap sipping diet pepsi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about what she said or wore at the awards was related to Israel V Palestine? Make up your minds, hunties. Building women up or breaking them down, what's on trend right now?
