Lauren Sánchez responds to Whitney Cummings’ jokes about her ‘cheap’ inauguration outfit

Lauren Sánchez addresses Whitney Cummings’ jibe about her ‘inexpensive’ inauguration outfit

In a recent playful exchange on social media, Whitney Cummings took aim at Lauren Sánchez’s much-debated ensemble from Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, prompting a response from Jeff Bezos’ fiancée. The comedian made it clear to her followers that she holds no ill will toward the 55-year-old for opting for a striking white pantsuit paired with a peekaboo lace bra.

Cummings, 42, shared her thoughts via Instagram, acknowledging Sánchez’s entrepreneurial spirit. “She is a businesswoman, and her choices have led her to this point,” she remarked. “Let’s be real, we all wish we possessed that kind of judgment.”

Sánchez seemed to appreciate Cummings’ commentary as she “liked” the comedian’s post. Whitney’s humor about Sánchez’s choice of lingerie didn’t go unnoticed. While she admitted that the outfit might come off as “cheap,” she firmly stated, “I don’t blame her. I blame white lace.” Cummings humorously claimed that a pricey Dolce and Gabbana piece could still evoke memories of unfortunate fashion moments. She lightheartedly remarked on how often those lace pieces look fantastic in a mirror, yet fail to impress in photographs, suggesting a blend of reality TV style with her own twist.

While Cummings sent “thoughts and prayers” to Sánchez, she humorously noted that the outfit “wouldn’t have been [her] first choice,” closing her remarks by declaring, “white lace is a scam.” Sánchez’s subtle heart emoji comment on Cummings’ post indicated her support for the humor.

The former news anchor drew attention earlier in the week for engaging with comments praising her choice of attire, like one that urged her to ignore critics, asserting, “Girl you rocked that inaugural look. The only opinion that counts is your own and Jeff’s.”

Despite rising critiques, including Megyn Kelly’s bold observation that Sánchez’s outfit resembled a “hooker,” and Christine Quinn’s comment about her “hoisted” chest, Sánchez remained mostly silent on backlash regarding her polarizing outfit. Meanwhile, fellow commentator Amy Robach mentioned on her podcast that the outfit was “a lot to look at” but ultimately maintained a “to each their own” perspective.

Interestingly, even Mark Zuckerberg seemed taken by Sánchez’s style, having allegedly been caught on camera glancing at her attire, and later showing support by liking a photo of her more elegant orange gown from the inauguration ball.

As the conversation around her fashion choices continues, Sánchez has yet to publicly address the various criticisms made on social media, though she did contribute a heart to Cummings’ humorous commentary regarding her look.
