While many criticized the nature of the idol’s outfit, finding it an interesting combination of pieces, many of the comments drew attention to the belief that some comments were body-shaming the idol.

In the video, the outfit is very fitting, and some thought that the comments referred to the shape of the idol. Many netizens defended the idol, explaining that it was very common for women to have this shape, due to it being where the uterus is.

Yet, others thought that fans were defending Lara for no reason, claiming that the comments focused on the outfit rather than her body, implying that it seemed to be assumed that the post was centered on Lara’s shape.
