She-Hulk star Jameela Jamil addresses costume criticism
"I accept every ounce of shade here..."
She-Hulk star Jameela Jamil has responded on Twitter after fans criticised her costume in the upcoming Disney Plus series.
A still of the actress in character as supervillain Titania was shared online last week, and it seemed some fans weren't particularly impressed by her costume or hairstyle.
But Jamil has now addressed those concerns, replying to a Tweet that included the image by writing: "Omg this photo.."
"Guys... I accept every ounce of shade here, but in defense of my excellent hair stylist, this is just my hair after a 14-hour stunt day in Atlanta heat," she added. "Just after being upside down. She did a *great* job on the show I promise. I love her."
And she later clarified that the costume would make more sense in the context of the show, with a separate Tweet reading: "You'll get it when the show comes out. It fits the character."
