Isabeli Fontana took to Instagram to share a video of her walking for Dsquared2. She thanked Dean and Dan Caten for transforming her into a 70s goddess for their show and celebrated their 30 years. “Thank you for transforming me into a ‘70s goddess! We’ve grown up together in this business, and you’ve always remained kind, outrageous, talented. I’m grateful for your friendship. Congratulations on 30 years of continued health, happiness, and success! Love you both so much, @dsquared2,” she captioned the clip.

The dress

With her tresses left loose in a side part, Isabeli chose smokey eye shadow, kohl-lined eyes, mascara-adorned lashes, glossy pink lips, flushed cheeks, glowing highlighter, and feathered brows for the glam.

How did the internet react?

The internet was shocked by Isabeli's barely-there dress. One user joked, “Oh my gosh, did the dress break? 😂.” Another remarked, “Omg that’s so embarrassing 😭😭 why’d they do that to her.” A comment read, “Was it an oops or a very lil thong or g string that was hard to see?”

One user pointed out how the dress was similar to an Arabic traditional dress and disrespected the culture. “This traditional Arabic dress was designed and worn in a manner that is deeply humiliating and disrespectful. It was presented not only to undermine the significance of the cultural heritage, but also to reinforce the harmful stereotype that Arabs are weak, making it seem acceptable to trample upon their traditions and religious values.”
