Ellie Gonsalves Influencer bride slams critics of her see-through wedding dress

Australian model Ellie Gonsalves has taken issue with trolls criticizing her for wearing a ‘naked’ dress in front of her wedding last month

The 33-year-old influencer married partner Ross Scutts in a lavish Gold Coast ceremony and donned not one but three designer dresses to celebrate the occasion.

However, it was her third dress — a daring white mini dress with sheer panels and a plunging neckline — that sparked backlash online, as many said it was inappropriate for a wedding.

Ellie finally hit back at her critics on Sunday, saying she was a victim of society’s “limiting” expectations of women and how they should dress.

“In an era where women are encouraged to exercise agency over their bodies, it’s disheartening to witness the barrage of hate and derogatory comments I’ve received for what some have described as my ‘boldness’. dress,” she wrote in an article published by 9Honey.

Ellie claimed the backlash she received exposed how society does not support women’s “bodily autonomy.”

“Each individual, regardless of gender, should have the autonomy to decide what to wear, how to present themselves and what to share with the world,” she wrote.

“By denying women this autonomy, we perpetuate a harmful culture of control that infringes on their fundamental rights.”

Ellie, who worked as a glamor model for years, also pointed out that her idea of ​​a “proper” wedding dress is likely different from that of a conservative woman named “Susan” who “grew up in a Christian community in the American Midwest.” ‘.

“While the choices I make are bold, I am not ashamed of them and I believe that by embracing our agency we are paving the way for a more inclusive and accepting society,” she wrote.

One person wrote, “What you share with everyone should be for your husband only.”

While another commented: ‘Soon people will be going to weddings in their bikinis. That way you can see more skin, right?’

And a third said, ‘I’m sorry, but this is not a good dress for the wedding. Dress modestly!’

However, many of Ellie’s loyal followers defended her choice of clothing, and the bride herself later hit back at her haters.

The bride then shared a screenshot of this comment on her Instagram, adding, “What’s that line? If you hand it out, be ready to take it? I can’t believe people are so offended by a wedding dress.’

Ellie responded to another troll, writing, “FFs lighten up girl. It’s a dress at a wedding of someone you don’t know. If you don’t like it, change the channel. Simple as that.’

One person commented that she looked “fast and loose” on her wedding day and Ellie hit back, writing, “The only thing that’s fast and loose was your mother’s hands when she dropped you on your head as a child.”
