While her early wardrobe stills for Ryan Murphy’s American Love Story alongside co-star Paul Kelly caused a backlash online, Pidgeon’s personal style is being much better received
Her selection made headlines, but the spotlight quickly shifted to a debate around the portrayal of Bessette’s iconic style after wardrobe stills from the show sparked online criticism.
Fashion watchers claimed that the test images cheapened Bessette’s look, and an article by The Cut slammed the clothing choices, saying: “There is no life, there is no story, there is no familiarity with these pieces.”
Pidgeon has yet to weigh in on the backlash – and likely won’t for now – but what else do we know about the actress?
Before landing the high-profile role, Pidgeon was already building a reputation as a talented actress. Best known for her role in Amazon Prime series The Wilds, Pidgeon also earned a Hollywood Critics Association Award nomination for her gripping performance in Hulu’s Emmy-nominated miniseries Tiny Beautiful Things.
