What sparked backlash against Elle Ferguson in Paris? Influencer's outfit drama explained

Elle Ferguson is making headlines for an outfit she wore in Paris, but it is not for the right reasons. The Australian influencer stepped out on the streets of Paris in a black knitted, oversized turtleneck jumper. She paired it with ribbed short shorts that almost look like briefs. As for her accessories, Ferguson opted for a black bag with a gold chain detailing, a black belt with a golden buckle, and black sunglasses. She completed the look with black Mary Jane flats with gold details.

Ferguson is considered to be an Australian style icon. Before she became an influencer, she and her friend Tash Sefton were the faces behind the "They All Hate Us" blog. She also worked as a global visual merchandising manager for a swimwear label. She was also the national womenswear visual merchandiser for the General Pants Group.

However, her most recent Instagram post was not received well because many fans thought that the outfit was not tasteful. Many compared her shorts to underwear, and for many, wearing underwear in public is not stylish or chic. Keep scrolling to read a few comments about what her followers had to say about her Paris outfit.

Fans did not like Elle Ferguson's short shorts

Elle Ferguson posted a carousel of photos as well as videos on her official Instagram account. She captioned the post:

"I like my shorts short and my jumpers with a high neck."

However, her fans and followers did not seem to agree with her style. Have a look at some of the comments from Elle Ferguson's post.

One user (@lauracraig37) commented:

"How is this fashion! They look like underwear"

Another user compared the shorts to baby nappies. They (@angienajjar) wrote:

"Sorry but they look like babies nappy covers"

One other (@lara.lo.1) user wrote:

""Outfit doesn’t make any sense"

However, not everyone hates the look. One fan (@katekiernan1) commented:

"To all the neg comments about the look. Why do you care so much? Does what someone else wears really impact you that much? 😂 If you don't like the content then unfollow. Simple. There is no need to share your unwarranted opinion and attempt to put someone else down. Fashion is all about expression and having fun."

Elle Ferguson called out for questionable high-fashion taste

This is not the first time Elle Ferguson has been called out for her taste in fashion. Two months ago, she wore a Lilac Loewe dress that had a plunging neckline with a peplum design. Many commented on how ugly the dress was, despite Ferguson claiming it was better in real life. She captioned the photo:

"All I can say is THE LILAC @loewe dress is even better in real life. Such a dream to experience @jonathan.anderson last collection in real life and get to play dress ups with the collection. Big thanks to the incredible #loewe team and @mcm_pr"

Elle Ferguson's Paris outfit sparked mixed reactions. Many fans criticized her short shorts for looking like underwear. Some defended her, saying fashion is about expression, while others said the look made no sense. This is just another situation where followers have questioned her fashion choices.
