For many, the recent release of The Handmaid’s Tale has left many questioning the current status of gender, power and politics in the modern world – especially considering America’s recent abortion bans – but to Kylie Jenner, its provided the perfect birthday party theme. Over the weekend, the youngest Kardashian-Jenner hosted a Handmaid’s Tale themed birthday for best friend Anastasia Karanikolaou and many have called out the beauty mogul for being tone deaf.
The Handmaid’s Tale is a series based off Margaret Atwood’s 1985 bestselling novel, in which women preserve the family through government mandated rape.
At Jenner’s party though, the show’s series themes seemed undermined. Inside the party, each guest received a red handmaid’s robe, a white bonnet, and roses. Red roses also decorated the dinner table, and there were also floor-to-ceiling posters bearing Gilead’s insignia.
Twitter had lots of thoughts.
