The shade was seemingly related to sexual assault accusations that both Elgort and Wang have faced. Elgort didn’t address what designer he was wearing on the red carpet.
In June 2020 a woman alleged that Eglort assaulted her shortly after she turned 17 back in 2014.
“He was in his 20s. He knew what he was doing,” the alleged victim Gabby wrote on Twitter. “Ansel Elgort sexually assaulted me when I was 17. I had DMed him when it was two days before my 17th birthday, and I got his private Snapchat. I didn’t think he’d ever see my DM. I was just a kid and was a fan of him.”

Elgort denied the accusations. “I cannot claim to understand Gabby’s feelings but her description of events is simply not what happened. I have never and would never assault anyone,” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.
In 2020, multiple people also came forward with assault allegations about Wang. Wan denied the accusations.
“Over the last few days, I have been on the receiving end of baseless and grotesquely false accusations. These claims have been wrongfully amplified by social media accounts infamous for posting defamatory material from undisclosed and/or anonymous sources with zero evidence or any fact checking whatsoever,” he said in a statement in December 2020.
He added: “Seeing these lies about me being perpetuated as truths has been infuriating. I have never engaged in the atrocious behavior described and would never conduct myself in the manner that’s been alleged. I intend to get to the bottom of this and hold accountable whoever is responsible for originating these claims and viciously spreading them online.”
