Actress Ashley Judd Faced A Last-minute Wardrobe Change Ahead Of The New York City Premiere Of Insurgent After Reportedly Refusing To Wear A Dolce & Gabbana Dress Due To The Fall-out From The Designers' Controversial Comments About Gay Couples With Children.
Openly-gay superstar Sir Elton John has been leading a boycott of the top Italian fashion house ever since Stefano Gabbana and his creative partner Domenico Dolce shared their views on modern families and kids born via in vitro fertilisation (IVF), branding the babies "chemical offsprings" in a candid interview in Italy earlier this month (Mar15).
Fellow gay dads Ricky Martin and Glee creator Ryan Murphy have also publicly blasted Dolce & Gabbana for their comments, and celebrity mums Victoria Beckham, Madonna and Courtney Love have also offered their support.
Now, reports suggest Double Jeopardy actress Judd also took a stand against the luxury label, according to the New York Post's Page Six column, after refusing to wear a Dolce & Gabbana gown her stylists had picked out for her for the Insurgent premiere last week (ends20Mar15). She allegedly ditched the outfit at late notice and opted to wear a floral Badgley Mischka outfit instead.
A source tells the New York Post's Page Six, "The outfit had been planned for weeks.
"(Judd) pulled out (at the) last moment and changed her dress... Ashley has gay friends, works with many gay people, and decided she would not support this."
Dolce and Gabbana have since attempted to clarify their remarks, insisting, "It was never our intention to judge other people's choices."
