She looked radiant — until things took an awkward turn when Sarah was asked to name the designers behind her stylish look.

Talking with stylist Law Roach, Sarah started off confidently, happily telling Law about her shoes. But when he asked about the designer of her jacket, she froze.

“I feel like I’m not supposed to say!” Sarah replied, seemingly glancing at someone off-camera in panic. Law reassured her: “Yeah, you can!”

“Really?” Sarah said, before finally revealing, “It’s a Dolce & Gabbana jacket, and this is an Alexander Wang dress I bought 100 years ago.”

“And it’s amazing!” Law added.

But when the clip surfaced online, people noticed Sarah’s hesitation — and they had theories about why she might not have wanted to name the designers.

Both Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander Wang have faced major controversies over the years. Dolce & Gabbana has been accused of being racist and anti-gay — including selling a $2,000 “slave sandal” in 2016 and releasing a 2018 ad that people said mocked Chinese culture. Designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce also sparked outrage in 2015 when Dolce reportedly criticized gay couples using IVF, prompting a boycott famously led by Elton John.

Meanwhile, Alexander Wang was accused of multiple sexual assaults in 2020. Initially, he denied the “atrocious” claims to the New York Times — but later issued a statement in 2021 expressing “regret” and promising to “set a better example” moving forward.

Knowing that, viewers thought Sarah was trying to avoid potential backlash for wearing both brands.

Some said that’s why she pointed out that she was wearing old pieces. “she said ‘these are vintage sins, not current ones,’” one person joked.

Another teased that Sarah was definitely trying to avoid getting canceled.
