Selene Castillo became the internet’s latest debate topic after wearing a completely covered but body-hugging dress to her son’s graduation. Let’s say the haters came harder than the valedictorian’s speech.
The internet is buzzing once again, but it’s not about a celebrity feud or a wild TikTok challenge this time. It’s about a graduation, a proud mom, and an outfit that has sparked a major debate online!
Selene Castle, a Puerto Rican model, is going viral, and it’s all because of what she wore to celebrate her son’s big day.
Selene Castle, known for her work with brands like FashionNova and her vibrant social media presence, has a huge following on Instagram, where she shares updates on fashion, travel, and her family life. This week, however, she broke the internet not with her usual sultry content but with her choice of attire for her son’s graduation.
In the now-viral photo, Selene and her son are posing outdoors at what appears to be the graduation event. Her son looks incredibly proud in his dark blue graduation gown, cap, and stole. Standing next to him with an arm around his waist, Selene is absolutely radiant in a black, form-fitting, sleeveless dress that reaches her knees. Her dark, curly hair frames her smiling face, and she’s sporting black open-toed high heels with bright red painted toenails.
The reactions to the photos were explosive. Critics quickly piled on, with comments like, “It was literally just 1 day. 1 day to dress appropriately for a graduation ceremony. Not saying she doesn’t look good in her dress, because she does. But maybe wear it to a bar, ladies’ night out, wedding reception, date night, etc… not to your child’s graduation”. Another chimed in, “Skin tight spaghetti strap dress might be fully covered, but to think it’s appropriate is outrageous.”
However, not everyone was on the attack. Some users defended her choice, saying, “I mean, it is more of a date night dress. But she is covered appropriately I don’t think any outfit she would have worn would hide her shape. Some of all daughters out here wearing inappropriate prom dresses, so can all really talk?”. The debate even got a bit heated, with one comment questioning, “I wonder how these women would react if she wore that dress in front of them with THEIR husband/man in front of them?”
After enduring days of “online missiles,” Selene Castle finally clapped back! She took to social media to respond to the critics directly. “I literally have a dress on all the way down to my knees, fully covered,” she stated. “There were a lot of moms, aunties, and grandmas wearing the same kind of dress. But since I’m not a size 2 or shaped like a square. It’s a problem when I do it. OKAY.”
Was her dress inappropriate, or are the critics just being judgmental? Let us know in the comments!
