After Susan Sarandon’s stunning SAG Awards outfit — a white Max Mara suit with a visible black bra showcasing her cleavage — caused a stir during Saturday night’s show, self-styled decency expert Piers Morgan decried Sarandon’s sartorial choice as “very tacky” and then proceeded to castigate her for days after the event.
Would Susan Sarandon wear this to a funeral? No.
It was thus horribly inappropriate for an In Memoriam tribute. pic.twitter.com/hMoGChJY8D— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 3, 2016
No problem with Ms Sarandon showing off her cleavage.
Big problem with her doing it for 'In Memoriam' tribute. https://t.co/4zPFik0Atc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 3, 2016
No, what's tacky is deliberately flaunting your breasts on TV for publicity, during a tribute to dead stars. https://t.co/07y6HxFuw0

But that's exactly what Ms Sarandon wanted. > RT @sabsmess: @piersmorgan maybe stop sexualising women's bodies, like they're objects.

Well, who hasn’t gotten dressed for a red carpet event only to pause in the mirror first and ask herself, “What would Piers Morgan think?” Maybe his fashion philosophy is the opposite of Coco Chanel’s — before you walk out the door every day, put one more layer on.
Because Susan Sarandon is a lady — and a wickedly funny one at that — she has not responded with the patented Abbi and Ilana two-finger salute, preferring to focus on tweeting about the Democrat presidential race (she’s #FeelingtheBern). But today, she broke her silence with (say it with me!) One Perfect Tweet. Witness the perfection:

Never forget who you’re messing with, Morgan — Janet’s tangled with stranger creatures than you.
