Star of 'Handmaid's Tale' Thinks Kylie Jenner is Tacky

Kylie Jenner‘s decision to throw a The Handmaid’s Tale-themed bash over the weekend didn’t win her any favor with one of the Hulu show’s stars, Bradley Whitford.

The actor, 59, appeared on Tuesday’s episode of CBS’ The Talk, where he added his voice to the critics questioning Jenner and her fellow party guests for ignoring the point of Margaret Atwood’s story, and the themes of female oppression it tackles.

“I don’t know … seems a little tacky,” said Whitford. “You know, that costume is so kind of iconic, and it’s interesting how it’s changed from initially a sort of symbol of oppression to now, as the show is moving ahead, to a symbol of resistance. So, yeah, a cocktail party seems to sort of dash all that significance.”

Jenner, 21, shared photos on her Instagram story of the party over the weekend, which she threw at her Hidden Hills home in honor of pal Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou’s birthday. Assistant Victoria Villarroel and makeup artist Ariel Tejada, as well as Scott Disick’s girlfriend Sofia Richie were counted as guests.

All wore matching handmaid costumes and sipped on specialty cocktails (named “praise be vodka” and “under his eye tequila”). Meanwhile, Jenner’s house was transformed to resemble Gilead, the fictional setting of Atwood’s popular dystopian novel and its Elisabeth Moss-led television adaptation.
