What do you wear to cover the Miami Grand Prix?
Danica Patrick went for cute and comfortable for Sunday's race, opting for a pair of white sneakers and a white minidress.
Imagine the former IndyCar Series driver's surprise when she shared a picture of herself working at the Miami International Autodrome, then got backlash in the comments.
Alongside the snap of herself, Patrick wrote, 'Back at it in Miami with @skysportsf1!'
While a good chunk of her fans were complimentary (e.g., 'Total goddess!'), a few people couldn't help but opine.
Their issue was with the 43-year-old's one-shouldered number.
A couple of trolls wrote Patrick looked like she was headed to a toga party. A few others said the dress resembled a bed sheet.
One social media user had enough time on his/her hands to analyze the slinky meets sleek get-up:
'I love Danica clear back to her Indy days,' wrote the keyboard warrior meets fashion critic. 'She is a beautiful, motivated woman. But this dress looks like her luggage missed the plane and she had to use a hotel towel. Bad is bad.'
There was at least one adult in the room:
'Don't look if you don't like. If one has nothing pleasant to comment, then keep the trap shut.'
Patrick didn't tag the designer, nor did she respond to her haters. Seems she owned the dress, and hopefully even swapped out the sneaks for heels and rocked it at the club later.

Brad Pitt brings back his iconic ‘90s buzzcut
Brad Pitt has everyone buzzing. On Thursday, the Oscar-winning actor was spotted cruising around Los Angeles, bringing back his iconic '90s buzzcut. Known to frequently change up his locks, Pitt, 61, said goodbye to the longer salt-and-pepper tresses he was rocking earlier this year in lieu of an incredibly short hairdo. The 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' alum also shaved his gray beard for a fresh look. It's unclear what sparked the change, but perhaps he's gearing up for a brand new role after wrapping up his 'F1' movie. Captured while behind the wheel, Pitt wore a casual white shirt jacket and black oversized aviator sunglasses. When cementing himself as an A-list actor in the '90s and early 2000s, the Missouri native shaved his head for many roles. In the '99 film 'Fight Club,' Pitt, who played the rebellious Tyler Durden, rocked a buzzcut with a mustache and goatee. Then, in 2004, he returned to the super short hairstyle in 'Ocean's Twelve,' portraying Robert Charles 'Rusty' Ryan, Danny Ocean's right-hand man. The following year, in 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' where he met future wife Angelina Jolie, the longtime actor sported the same closely cropped hairstyle. Two of Pitt's kids, daughter Shiloh, 18, and son Knox, 16, whom he shares with Jolie, followed in his beauty footsteps, shaving their heads, too. In 2023, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, who strongly resembles both of her famous parents, debuted a bold light pink buzzcut look. However, she's since grown out her locks. Meanwhile, last November, his teen son Knox made his first red carpet appearance in over three years at the Governors Awards, looking just like his dad in a short haircut. Perhaps one of his other children will soon rock the head-turning look, too.

Brad Pitt shows off new buzzcut on ‘F1' Mexico City premiere red carpet
Brad Pitt is in his buzzcut era — again. Currently promoting his forthcoming film 'F1,' the award-winning actor returned to his signature '90s haircut, showing off the short 'do at the movie's Mexico City premiere on Monday night. Pitt, 61, who was first spotted rocking a buzzcut while driving around Los Angeles last month, suited up for the occasion, sporting a salmon pink double-breasted blazer and matching straight-leg trousers. He layered the suit over a baby blue tee, accessorizing with white slide-on shoes. Later on in the day, Pitt joined the 'F1' cast, including Damson Idris and Kerry Condon, for a fan event at Plaza Toreo Parque Central in Naucalpan de Juarez. Pitt traded his pastel suit from the premiere for a light gray look, which he again layered over a T-shirt. The actor added a lilac purple pocket square peeking out of the suit for a hint of color. Pitt's fresh new buzzcut is a departure from the longer silver hairstyle he was sporting in early 2025. A '90s heartthrob, Pitt was practically synonymous with buzzcuts during the bygone era. At the time, the A-lister rocked the closely cropped look in the 1999 movie 'Fight Club,' as well as many a red carpet. In the forthcoming flick, Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a new member of the APXGP racing team, who is described as 'the best that never was' in the official trailer. The veteran racing legend mentors APXGP's new rookie driver, Joshua Pearce (Damson). 'F1' hits theaters June 27.
