However, aside from the overall design of the dress, some commentators took issue with its presentation. “Her dress was completely wrinkled. I can’t believe it. I’m just saying, why didn’t she steam it? Why do this?” remarked one commenter. Another shared similar sentiments, “Well, at least she is a woman; iron your dress.”

Another commenter argued that humility had nothing to do with attending a red carpet-event in wrinkled clothing. “The rich and famous have everything they could want yet insist on dressing sloppily, as if to say, ‘I’m down to earth.’ Come on! At least improve your clothes to complement her efforts.”

Contrarily, some people appreciated the simplicity of it. “That dress is gorgeous. They are such an attractive couple,” one person noted. Another agreed, writing, “Totally agree; the dress and color are gorgeous. They both look so happy and comfortable.”

The dress, coupled with her date, was a sight for sore eyes for many commentators. “I adore that dress. They both look beautiful,” wrote a fan. Some people loved the dress so much that they found it on eBay for only $200. However, the dress is by ML Monique Lhuillier and can be found on the Modesens website.

However, some speculated about their relationship status. “I thought they broke up,” one user noted, while another declared that this intimate moment was, “a lie.” “And the kiss was staged,” another user chimed in. Echoing similar doubts, a fan wrote, “I don’t know…it almost seems fake.”
Other individuals claimed that Grant was “an attention seeker” because she looked at the camera to make sure their kiss was captured. A user who reiterated these comments argued, “It’s not a passionate kiss and it is bad enough that you repeatedly look into the camera.”
A user with much to say, jotted, “It also obviously that these aren’t what you think is being seen here either…why does it look staged? (…) why do they both look at the camera as if they the camera was planted there?”
