Jade's full comment
The costume is a combination of various elements within our culture, such as fireworks and feast decorations, while also giving gladiator vibes all around.
While some people welcomed the choice of costume, many had a lot of negative comments about it, with some even lamenting on the general lack of aesthetics that we seem to have as a nation.
