Did Rebel Wilson Just Start a War With Victoria’s Secret?

Rebel Wilson might have looked chic in a black and hot pink cape dress on the blue carpet at the MTV Movie Awards, but it was what she wore to present onstage that really made a statement.

On Sunday (local time), the Aussie actress, who was on-hand to share a clip from her upcoming film Pitch Perfect 2, made a change into leather leggings, a beaded bra with hanging fringe, large white angel wings, and black winged sneakers.

Bedazzled in crystals on the butt of her pants were big block letters with the word “THINK.”

Now, if it wasn’t already obvious that Wilson was channelling a Victoria’s Secret model (the brand’s bottoms often feature the world “pink” on them), she proceeded to say, “At least we can all take comfort in the fact that my look’s more like a neat burrito rather than a stand and stuff taco.”

The actress, who has historically been self-deprecating and positive about her own non-sample size, has always encouraged other women to accept themselves in the same way that she has, even going so far as to confidently play a character named Fat Amy.

“I don’t really care what I look like that much, and I think women out there should just be happy with the way they look,” she said in a past. “They shouldn’t really try to conform to any kind of stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy.”

With this ensemble, Wilson seems to be publicly siding with the many other companies and people that have recently stoop up to the lingerie shop for pushing poor body standards.

Lane Bryant recently released an ad campaign taking a dig at its competitor with #ImNoAngel featuring all differently-sized models Ashley Graham, Marquita Pring,Candice Huffine, Victoria Lee, Justine Legaultand, and Elly Mayday.

A Change.org petition got so many signatures it actually made a change to a Victoria’s Secret ad.

What the fight for a shift in body standards has really needed is a face to lead the major change in how women are talked about and treated in the media and beyond. Wilson’s stunt, though, puts her in the forefront.

As has been said, the revolution will be televised — and that’s exactly what Wilson did.
