A New York City influencer is being slammed by her followers for wearing an outfit that made her ‘look like a pirate’ during a recent trip to Paris.

Brigette Pheloung, 28, gives fashion and beauty advice to her millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok.

However, an outfit she wore on recent trip to Paris with her twin sister has many accusing her of committing a fashion faux pas.

Pheloung, known online as Acquired Style, stirred controversy with a selfie taken at the luxurious Ritz Carlton Paris, where a stay can set you back as much as $2,383 per night.

She wore a white ruffled blouse, black Capris and strappy black heels while getting cocktails at the hotel’s Bar Hemingway.

Her outfit immediately drew comparisons to Captain Jack Sparrow and Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Puffy Shirt’ episode.

‘Captain Jack Sparrow dupe,’ one person said. ‘Come on.. it was right there,’ said another along with a picture of the Seinfeld episode.

Another individual reminisced, “This reminded me of the time I wore a large burgundy wrap headband, and my sister humorously dubbed me Captain Jack for years afterward.”

Some critics disapproved of her attempt to revive Capri pants. These bottoms, also called pedal pushers, fall between shorts and trousers, with a typical hemline reaching the midcalf.

‘This would look better with a maxi skirt instead of f*****g capris,’ one person said.

‘Please tell me capris are not making a comeback,’ said another. ‘Last time I wore “petal [sic] pushers” was in 5th grade,’ said a third.

Pheloung recently made headlines for weighing in after New York City influencers were dubbed ‘boring.’

In March, one candid TikToker slammed New York City social media influencers – setting their world aflame.

‘I’m just gonna say it – I hate all of the New York influencers,’ began Bridget, who goes by the username @martinifeeny on TikTok, in a video that has since received nearly two million views.

‘I think they’re boring as f*** and they’re all carbon copies of one another,’ she continued. ‘They all look like they shop at Revolve. They’re all just basic – but they’re skinny and pretty so stuff looks cute on them – but boring.

‘No hate. They just bore the f*** of me. Does anyone else agree?’

Instantly, influencers seemed to take her unfiltered opinion to heart, with some commenting under her video and posting responses on their own TikTok pages to their millions of followers.

Pheloung, along with her twin sister and fellow influencer Danielle, weighed in – even though Bridget hadn’t named any particular influencers as ‘boring.’

She did a ‘duet’ with the TikTok issuing her response, gesturing to the camera with a sarcastic wave and a kiss at the ‘boring’ barb and jumping for joy when Bridget described NYC influencers as ‘skinny and pretty.’

The 28-year-old New Jersey native has grown an online following for showcasing her trendy outfits, filming GRWM (‘get ready with me’) videos in her sleek high-rise apartment, and posting content about being an identical twin.

Most famously, she’s gone viral for her yearly tradition of wearing extravagant fashion ensembles to her family’s Thanksgiving dinner.

But this time, the internet wasn’t overwhelmingly on her side. 

Some people claimed she inadvertently escalated the ‘boring’ influencer debate by reposting Bridget’s video, which initially had a few hundred likes, to her own 1.5 million followers.
