Rachel Zegler sparks backlash for honoring original ‘Snow White’ actress after bashing 1937 film
said the 1937 film is dated.In her Instagram shared Monday, the 23-year-old star wore a new hairdo inspired by Caselotti, who voiced the Disney princess in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”Zegler styled her dark brunette hair in a curly bob with a red bow. She also wore a gray off-the-shoulder top and had on a full face of makeup.The post also featured a black-and-white photo of a young Caselotti — who died at age 80 in 1997 — next to a sketch of the animated Snow White.In the final slide, Zegler posed in a black-and-white video where she looked to the side and laughed while showing off her inspired look.“Just had to pay homage to the original snow white, miss adriana caselotti, to whom i owe everything ❤️,” she captioned the post.In the comments, fans blasted Zegler for honoring the same film that she’s bashed since she was cast in the new live-action remake.“But you dissed the film you was in so so much,” one fan wrote.“So you can pay homage to her ‘looks’ but can’t respect her story, kind of contradicts the whole idea of being a modern feminist perspective to the story, doesn’t it?” someone else said.A third person added, “Really you want to pay homage to her now.
