Sydney Sweeney attacked by the ballet community for her photo shoot
They do pointe.
Ballet community members accuse Sydney Sweeney of “insulting” photos inspired by dance she jumped out before the LACMA Art + Film 2022 gala.
Photos from the photo shoot that were shared on social media show the star “Euforia” swaying pink tutu dress by Giambattista Valli and pink tights while posing in pointe shoes that were not properly laced around her ankles.
“Who was the stylist or creative director who said,” Hey Sydney, put on a pair of pointe shoes real quick. ” You’re all mean about it, “Brennan Clost, Canadian actor and dancer, said in a viral video shared with TikTok.
“The ballet community is booming over this post, okay? And if you’re not a dancer, I’ll walk you through what everyone criticizes, likes, or throws at.
A 28-year-old TikTok user explained that 25-year-old Sweeney’s left foot was incorrectly positioned over the “box” of her shoe during en pointe, while the ribbons were tied in a “horrendous” fashion.
“I don’t know who tied them for her, but they did damn dirty things to her,” he argued. “Your ribbons are to… tie them on the inside of the ankle.”
Crost added that the underside of Sweeney’s boots didn’t even look broken and “gave a brick.” The “Tiny Pretty Things” star also noticed the way her hand was arranged, calling it “the hamburger hand.”
But it is not everything. Clost also noted that the Handheld Tale graduate may have been holding a ballet barrel that had been strategically removed from the photo.
“The way her body is positioned there is no way her weight will actually exceed that standing leg, and she would be able to keep her balance long enough for them to take a picture,” he claimed.
Clost explained that he had nothing against Sweeney personally, but the anger was directed at the creator of the photo shoot concept.
– No hating Sydney. I love this girl. It was a stylist or creative director who really said, “Let’s give the internet something to talk about,” he said.
His last point was that the fashion industry shouldn’t use people with zero dance experience to model with a ballet concept.
“There are enough ballet dancers out there. Why do we choose people with no dance experience and think, “You know what’s gonna be fun? Throw in a little tutu skirt and a pair of pointe shoes for today’s photos, girl. For example, we need to stop doing this, ”he argued.
Several people on the Internet shared the same feelings as Clost, and were offended by Sweeney’s post.
“Now girl … pointe … my dancer’s heart is broken,” one person wrote on Instagram.
“Why pointe?!?! It’s really dangerous and an insult to the ballet community, ”added another.
“Real ballerinas must cower in the form of a 🤭,” wrote a third.
“Ballet dancers go through too much hell not to be the first option for ballet photography tbh lol,” said TikTok user.
“NIEUUUUUUUU! Ballet This is NOT a joke. Ballet is not for that. She could easily break her ankle. STOP DOING THIS. It is offensive to us who have devoted our lives to sport, ”added the dancer.
The passionate critic then shared: “This is a sincere disrespect for all the dancers who have dedicated their lives to art. It takes a lifetime of countless hours spent striving for perfection; losing sleep, skipping meals, tolerating abusive teachers, staring at yourself in the mirror for hours on end, making out every little detail. No hair can be out of place. Feels mocking to those who deserve the right to wear pointe pride. It’s personally annoying to see everyone calling it beautiful. It is quite the opposite. The beauty of ballet comes only from devotion to it, not from imitating it. “
Others, however, defended Sweeney’s photos, claiming that she only drew inspiration from the dance world and did not have to be a professional.
“Why is everyone so concerned about this. . It looks beautiful, ”said one fan.
“It’s art. There is no wrong way in art, ‘agreed the other.
“It’s an art / editorial photo session, anyone can change into whatever they want (as long as it’s not offensive),” said the third.
Sweeney had yet to react to the objection.
