Shi Liupo mocked singer and actress Selena Gomez, saying she looked liked a child bride from Vietnam. And she also wrote that the super short custom Louis Vuitton gown worn by model Miranda Kerr and the checkerboard Chanel minidress by actress Dakota Johnson were too "saucy and seductive" and totally missed the gala's theme, while the Balenciaga outfit by designer Alexander Wang that Lady Gaga wore resembled something a witch would favor.
