An Australian influencer claims that she was "stared at in disgust" over her outfit by fellow shoppers while out buying groceries.

According to news.com.au, 21-year-old model Mikaela Testa says she was harshly judged by the general public while shopping at a Woolworth's store on the Gold Coast.

A video posted to her TikTok account shows off the outfit - consisting of a denim mini skirt, with a crop top, pink cardigan, and clear perspex heels.

Her fashion statement clearly impressed her 638,000 followers on the platform, and her video has already racked up over 856,000 views and 780 comments, at the time of writing.

Indeed, a number of other TikTok users have defended her wardrobe choices.

For instance, one person wrote: "Why all the hate?!! You beautiful girl. Do you."

Another TikTok user added: "If you didn't get stares was your outfit a good outfit?"

Finally, another added: "Oh the grandma's just wish they have what u got bby. [sic]"

Commenting on the shaming she had allegedly experienced Mikaela said: "It makes me very sad and gives me huge anxiety with going out in public wearing anything hot.

"I actually got into an altercation with a woman and her husband at a local shopping center a month or so ago about the same issue. It's definitely something that happens a lot in public around the Gold Coast."

This story comes not long after another TikTok user claimed she was made to wait outside of a garage while mechanics serviced her car due to staff finding her outfit "inappropriate".

Tia Wood stated in a recent video that after she had taken her car to be inspected at an undisclosed garage, a female member of staff had informed her that Wood could not wait in the customer waiting area due to the outfit she was wearing.

Wood's outfit consisted of a pair of white sneakers, blue denim shorts, and a red crop top. However, a staff member allegedly asked her to walk around the back of the facility and wait outside.

Wood captioned the original post: "DIDNT KNOW GETTING UR CAR INSPECTED HAD A DRESS CODE!!!!!! [sic]"

I'm not sure if you've all noticed, but it's been crazy hot recently.

I'm not talking "ooh, it's a little stuffy today, I might have to open my bedroom window before I leave the house to avoid feeling a little uncomfortable when I get home".

I'm talking "Jesus take the wheel, it is so hot on my train right now that the man next to me has quite literally begun to melt like a waxwork in a Nordic sauna".

As such, we've all had to take certain measures to ensure that we don't collapse into sweaty, broken oblivion on our commute to work. You might bring a bottle of water with you for the journey, or perhaps wear some more lightly fitting clothes with less material to make try and combat the incessant, never-ending heat.

That's exactly what 19-year-old Gabrielle Gibson says she did when she decided to visit Bellair mall, Mobile, Alabama on August 1st. Gibson went shopping in some denim shorts and a multi-coloured long sleeve top, but, she says, it wasn't long before she ran into trouble. In a Facebook post that has since become unavailable, Gibson reportedly relayed her experience thus;

"I was literally harassed and kicked out of the Bellair mall in Mobile, AL today because of what I'm wearing.

"Apparently grown men couldn't contain themselves so I get kicked out.

"Security officer J. Mathis initiated that he was looking at my a** cheeks and it was a problem.

"Don't look at my a** then theres a thought?"

The post continues;

"They went as far as to threaten to call a police officer. From what I seen today everyone had short shorties on.

I mean come on its August and 100° outside.

I don't know why i was pinpointed. Im just disgusted with the behaviour of all these people."

Per Indy100, commenters on Facebook were supportive of her. One person wrote "There is NOTHING wrong with what you are wearing! I would have told him to call the police. You did absolutely nothing wrong", while a second added "You are beautiful and you wear what you want!!".

Meanwhile, The Shoppes at Bel Air issued the following statement;

"Given the high degree of importance we place on maintaining a family-friendly shopping environment, our policy requires all of our customers to dress in a manner that reflects our code of conduct.

"Anyone who violates this policy will be asked to change or to leave the premises".

According to the Mirror, Gibson said;

"When I left the house I felt beautiful and happy about myself, but having grown men attack me about what I'm wearing when I'm just trying to walk around and buy things was just so excessive.

"They didn't have to throw me out. It's a sad day when grown men can't control themselves. I just don't want anyone feeling like I did."

Clearly, she was upset by the incident, and it doesn't seem to us that what she was wearing could be considered inappropriate.

A British woman has denounced a supermarket as "sexist" after she took to Twitter to allege that she was told her shorts were "too short".

Lauren O'Conner was shopping in Sainsbury's on Wednesday, as the UK was experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures peaking at 34 degrees celsius for the sixth day in a row.

However, her outfit - a pair of pink cotton shorts and a baggy striped T-shirt - was reportedly considered to be inappropriate inside of the store.

Lauren took to Twitter to reveal that she was approached by a staff member and told to "pull my T-shirt down."

"I’m so angry right now. Just been approached by a @sainsburys staff member in Staines store to ‘pull my t shirt down’. An elderly man made comment to staff member who felt compelled to come over and tell me as I was shopping. It’s 32 degrees. If I want to wear shorts I will," she wrote in her first tweet.

"For reference, this is my outfit. All I wanted was ice lollies. N I get shamed in store doing so. So disappointed. When are we going to stop telling women how to dress? Especially when topless men frequent supermarkets, which I highly doubt are told to change [sic]," she continued, sharing a picture of the apparently offensive outfit.

Lauren went onto say that she was "disappointed" and asked when society was going to "stop telling women how to dress?"

"Especially when topless men frequent supermarkets, which I highly doubt are told to change," she continued, adding that she was "so tired of having to defend my existence and love of booty shorts."

Lauren's followers were quick to slam the supermarket's response to her outfit. "The woman is wearing shorts. It's a heatwave. Does a bit of leg threaten you that much?" wrote one Twitter user, and another corroborated: "Telling women how to dress is sexist, if you liked those shorts and felt comfortable in them then you should be able to wear them without being shamed."

Yes, there has never been a better time to freeze your t**s off.

As you may have noticed; it's rather warm outside. Per ITV News, the UK's Met Office recorded the nation's hottest day of the year on Friday (June 19), as temperatures exceeded 29C.

But we're not the only ones feeling the heat. Across the pond in Texas, temperatures are hitting 37C, as the state battles an unrelenting heatwave.

And, as we all know, with extreme heat comes extreme sweat.

Antiperspirant has been rendered obsolete, those with leather sofas are instantly regretting their decisions, and yesterday I went through three t-shirts. But let's focus on the B.S. - yes, boob sweat.

It's a genuine problem from the bra-wearing people among us - as women everywhere are battling sweaty chests like I will never be able to comprehend.

Well, fear not - because there's a product here to help.

Introducing the Cool58 Bra Cooler from Polar Products.

Boasting to be "a leading US manufacturer of body cooling and hot/cold therapy since 1984", the company's Cool58 Bra Cooler is essentially a freezable bra insert to help combat boob sweat.

Boasting a "stylish and discreet" design, the cooling packs can be chilled in a freezer or iced water, and are then placed in their cover sleeves.

They can then be popped in your bra to deliver a refreshing cooling feeling across your chest for up to two hours.

The packs are reusable and the covers are machine washable.

They're currently on sale for $39.95 - which I think is a bargain price in this heat.

But don't take my word for it, the product boasts many five-star reviews, including one that reads: "I used the bra coolers the first day that I got them. Texas had already reached at least 100 that week. Best purchase I have made. I would recommend to any female."

A second added: "These are great for walks around the neighborhood."

While we're on the subject, these inserts would be great teamed with this bra liner - specifically designed to soak up boob sweat.

Available from BellyBandit, the 'Don't Sweat It - Bra Liner' is available for just $19.95 and also boasts many five-star reviews.

Rihanna's Savage X Fenty NYFW show was everything that Victoria's Secret annual fashion show isn't.

Last Wednesday, a vast array of body types and ethnicities stormed the runway at the Garden of Eden themed event, making it evident that Rihanna - a multi-hyphenate if ever there was one - has created a lingerie line which is successfully championing inclusivity in an industry renowned for solely employing models who embody western ideals of beauty.

The show, which was live-streamed on Youtube, featured everyone from Bella and Gigi Hadid, to a very pregnant Slick Woods. Paloma Elsesser, the plus-sized model, who was unwittingly caught up in Revolve's "fat shaming" jumper scandal, also walked the runway.

The show was certainly an inclusive celebration of womanhood - and this was perhaps best embodied by the fact that Slick Woods reportedly went into labour while walking the catwalk.

Slick Woods, also known as Simone Thompson, is a 22-year-old model from Minnesota, who has modelled for the likes of Vogue, Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs.

Earlier this year, she revealed on Instagram that she was expecting her first child with fellow model, Adonis Bosso. Now, she's taken to the social media platform once more to inform her 752,000 followers that not only did she give birth to a baby boy 14 hours after walking the Savage X Fenty show, but that she was actively in labour for the entire thing.

"A lewk, 14 hours of labour, and a king is born," she wrote. "This is the face of a WOMAN IN LABOR, we hold sh*t down most of us don’t even know how much we’re going through, I’m here to say I CAN DO WHATEVER THE F*CK I WANT WHENEVER THE F*CK I WANT AND SO CAN YOU. Thank you @qualityresusqueen and the Fenty family for taking such good care of us."

Rihanna's choice to include Woods in the show was highly praised on social media, with many sending their well-wishes to the new mother. "WOW! This is ICONIC!!!!," model Jourdan Dunn wrote in the comments. "Welcome to motherhood my love."

The official Instagram account for the Savage X Fenty intimates collection also congratulated the model, writing "YESSSS!! Things you did: THAT!"

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen another lingerie collection use very visibly pregnant models before! This fashion show is diverse in so many different ways," another individual corroborated on Twitter.

"Women should be wearing lingerie for their d**n selves," Rihanna told Vogue in a recent interview. "I can only hope to encourage confidence and strength by showing lingerie in another light. You don't have to stick to one personality with lingerie; it's fun to play around."

"You can be cute and playful one week and a black widow next week. You can take risks with lingerie. I want people to wear Savage x Fenty and think, 'I'm a bad b****. I want women to own their beauty."

All we can say is mission accomplished, Rihanna.
