Hilaria Baldwin Reacts to Backlash Over 12-Year-Old Daughter’s Clothes

Hilaria Baldwin is defending her daughter Carmen.

Hilaria Baldwin responded to criticism about the clothes her and Alec Baldwin’s 12-year-old daughter wore in a recent Instagram video.

Many viewers felt that the outfit Carmen wore in the video – a white tank top, khaki skirt, black tights, and pearl body chain – was too mature for someone her age. The video showed her lip-syncing with her younger sisters, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2.

One person commented that it was upsetting to see a twelve-year-old behaving like that, and another felt Carmen was too young to be creating videos.

A third commenter added, “Looks way older than 12.”

Hilaria Baldwin defended her daughter’s clothing choices after some online criticism. In a video posted on January 20th, she explained, “My kids are perfectly safe and comfortable in a tank top, skirt, and tights – she’s worn this outfit her whole life, so I don’t understand why it bothers some people.”

The 42-year-old explained that comments like these can be particularly damaging between women, as they often involve shaming and exclude others.

Hilaria, who is a mother to Rafael (10), Leonardo (9), Romeo (7), and Eduardo (5), also responded to claims that she’s putting her daughter Carmen at risk by allowing this, stating the accusations of exposing her to ‘predators’ are false.

She emphasized that harmful people, or ‘predators,’ are a genuine threat, and addressing the issue isn’t solved by online criticism or public shaming.

Responding to her critics, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant suggested they have flawed ideas about what it means to be a woman. She urged them to be honest with themselves and explore the reasons behind their discomfort.

Hilaria also thinks this idea extends to older women. Last December, she responded to someone on Instagram who criticized a dress she wore to a holiday party, saying it was too short for her age.

Hilaria responded to criticism about showing her legs in a recent Instagram video, asking, “Are you saying women over 40 can’t do that?” In the video, she wore a floral dress with a corset top, and continued by saying that a woman’s body—and her legs—shouldn’t be considered inappropriate at any age, whether she’s 21, 41, 81, or even 101.

I was honestly surprised to see some negativity around women showing their legs! As someone who believes in body positivity, I immediately thought, ‘Who gets to decide what’s ‘appropriate’?’ I shared my thoughts in a video recently, wearing a fun floral dress, and made it clear: whether you’re 21, 41, 81, or even 101, your body is your body, and there’s absolutely nothing offensive about showing off your legs – or anything else you feel confident in!

In a TikTok video posted in May 2024, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s daughter shared that she’d experienced something upsetting: two strangers had made comments about her body. She described it as a significant moment for her as a woman online.

She explained that one person told her she should use Ozempic because they thought she was overweight, while another accused her of starving herself because she was too thin. She pointed out that her weight hadn’t changed during that time, and even if it had, it wouldn’t be anyone else’s concern.

Ava believes everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are, regardless of their appearance. She explained that you never know what challenges someone might be facing, and true beauty goes far beyond how someone looks.

After facing criticism about her body, the singer of “I’m Good” responded to her critics, explaining she’s had enough of comments about her appearance. In a June 2023 tweet, she acknowledged gaining weight, but firmly stated, “I’m just so sick of people talking about it. NEXT!!!!!!”

She also explained that people’s weight naturally changes, saying, “It’s a normal part of life, and you never know what someone might be dealing with – whether it’s medication, illness, or something else.”

Okay, so I recently got some negative comments on a photo I posted, with people saying I looked too thin. Honestly, it really bothered me. I felt I needed to speak up, not just for myself, but to raise awareness about body shaming. I was actually having fun taking those pictures, and a weird angle just made me look smaller. But it got me thinking – it’s never okay to leave unsolicited and critical comments about someone’s body, whether you think you have a right to or not. It’s just not cool, and it impacts people!

She explained that commenting on her weight, whether it’s saying she’s too thin or needs to eat, is unhelpful and a form of body shaming. She made it clear she won’t tolerate any kind of body shaming.

Over a week later, she posted a bikini photo with a message for her critics, playfully writing, “To those who dislike me… with love and gratitude, here’s a kiss [kiss emoji] to my rear [peach emoji]! I’ll keep smiling no matter what [peace sign emoji].”

In February 2021, the actress publicly addressed rumors about her being pregnant. These rumors started after photos of her on a film set in Australia, wearing a dark blue tank top, circulated online. She directly criticized a news outlet, the New York Post, in an Instagram post, saying it was unacceptable to speculate about or comment on a woman’s body in 2021. She stated plainly that she was not pregnant and urged the outlet to do better.

The reality TV star responded to online criticism about her body after people commented on her weight. In a video posted to Instagram, she explained that she’s actually at her normal weight, and that she simply regained her pre-pregnancy figure after having children. She assured fans that she’s healthy and doing well.

The singer, who recently faced criticism online about her body and weight, responded to the negativity without saying a word. She addressed the body-shamers through her actions instead.

During her performance at Manchester Pride 2025, she wore a large T-shirt featuring a graphic of a woman in a cropped tank top and black pushup bra.

After her breakup with Jim Edmonds, the former Bravo star asked fans to stop commenting on her weight. In a December 2019 Instagram post, she admitted she was very thin and often received comments like ‘Eat a burger.’ She explained she was prioritizing her children and asked for understanding, saying she was handling a difficult situation with as much grace as possible.

The famous singer recently responded to criticism about their weight, telling Entertainment Tonight, “What’s wrong with how my body looks? I’ve always been thin. I dance ballet, stretch a lot, and exercise to stay healthy both mentally and physically.”

She acknowledged that criticism comes with the territory and isn’t something she’ll avoid. She prioritizes her own well-being, discarding anything that doesn’t serve her. She trusts her team to handle any negative reactions, allowing her to concentrate on her own feelings and recognizing that it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

Back in June 2020, singer Lizzo responded to people criticizing her body. In a TikTok video, she explained that she’s been consistently working out for five years, but not to achieve anyone else’s beauty standards. She’s focused on getting fit for herself, and she made it clear that her body is nobody’s business. She confidently stated that she’s beautiful, strong, and dedicated to her work.

As a lifestyle advocate, I’ve always admired artists who champion self-acceptance, and Demi Lovato is a perfect example. She’s been incredibly open about dealing with body shaming, and I remember reading her interview with Glamour back in 2016 where she shared such a healthy perspective. She said that even when someone tries to bring her down by commenting on her weight, she actually laughs it off! Her reasoning? She’s doing her best, and that’s all that matters. Plus, she honestly doesn’t even want a six-pack – and I love that! It’s a great reminder that we should all focus on feeling good, not fitting into unrealistic beauty standards.

I was so upset to see someone criticize this incredible actress after she bravely shared a photo of herself. They actually tweeted – and it’s thankfully been deleted now – something awful about how she’s over 50 and shouldn’t be posting nudes, suggesting she should be with her grandkids instead. It was just so judgmental and completely missed the point about her owning her body and expressing herself. The idea that ‘aging with dignity’ means hiding yourself away is just… wrong.

Halle quickly responded with a playful comment: “Did you know a shrimp’s heart is in its head?”

The “Señorita” star previously took to Instagram Stories to send a message to her haters.

She started a long post explaining that she’d been avoiding social media to protect her feelings. She accidentally saw a headline about people criticizing her body, and her first reaction was to feel insecure and worry about what the pictures might look like. She immediately started thinking about things like cellulite and not sucking in her stomach. But then she realized it’s natural to have unflattering photos and angles – nobody’s body is perfect! She added that it’s especially sad for young girls growing up seeing so much airbrushing, because they’re striving for an unrealistic ideal.

I’m writing this for young girls growing up with social media. They’re bombarded with heavily edited photos, and it’s easy to start believing that’s what everyone actually looks like. We’re getting used to seeing perfect, airbrushed skin, and it’s starting to seem normal – but it’s not! It’s fake, and increasingly, that’s being presented as reality. We need to remember that real women’s bodies aren’t perfect. Cellulite and fat are completely normal, beautiful, and natural. I refuse to accept these unrealistic standards, and I hope you will too.

In May 2019, the singer shared a video of her performance at the Hangout Music Festival, where she was wearing a black leotard. Someone commented on social media, questioning if she had lost weight and referencing a previous appearance. The singer responded directly, saying she had gained weight and asking people to move on.

Honestly, it broke my heart when she revealed that designers wouldn’t dress her for the Grammys just because of her size! She was SO right to call them out. She posted this amazing message on Instagram back in 2019, saying we need to lift each other up and celebrate all bodies, not make women feel bad about themselves. Like, seriously, who cares what size you are? She said it best: ‘We are beautiful any size!’ And she wasn’t letting anyone stop her from going to the Grammys – her size 8 self was going and looking fabulous, and she was totally right to say #LOVEYOURBODY! It was such a powerful moment, and I’ve been obsessed ever since.

The celebrity had previously shared a photo of her family celebrating the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. In the picture, she’s holding her son, Canon. Someone then asked her if she was pregnant again.

She said no way, laughing, and explained that her 30-pound son was making it hard to pose for pictures.

Someone else commented that if the child weighed 30 pounds, they would have significant health problems. The cookbook author quickly responded, shutting down the criticism with a simple, “Excuse me? Absolutely not.”

Only a week after giving birth, the podcast host shared a message with her followers on Instagram.

I’m so frustrated, I need to get this off my chest,” she wrote in December 2018. She’d initially wanted to share a photo of her stomach to document her recovery journey, but she was glad she hadn’t. The negative comments on her previous photo were shocking. She clarified that she hadn’t had a tummy tuck, a personal chef, or the time to work out every day. She did have a C-section and was still recovering with medication, though she has a high pain tolerance. She’d also had three previous surgeries (appendix, gallbladder, and C-section). In the photo, she was wearing a belly wrap and high-waisted pants, and she couldn’t believe she even had to defend herself. She wondered why she’d likely be criticized even when trying to be open about her journey. She questioned why women compare and shame each other instead of accepting their differences. She wished everyone could recognize that all bodies are beautiful and heal differently. She asked why anyone would shame someone for their appearance or feel bad about their own. She encouraged everyone to be kinder to themselves, acknowledge that every woman’s journey is unique, and lift each other up instead of comparing. She ended with a message of love and a return to focusing on her baby.

In April 2018, actress Candace Cameron Bure posted a photo of herself having dinner with her son, Lev Bure. Someone commented negatively, questioning why she still appeared heavier than her husband despite her workouts and asking if she had changed her eating habits.

The actress quickly responded to the negative comment. She wrote, “If a 25-inch waist seems large to you, it’s because you’re viewing it with unrealistic expectations. Take care.”
