During the 5th Annual Governors Awards on Monday, actress Alfre Woodard sported a black Giorgio Armani dress in all her regalness. When the Armani brand attempted to shout out the actress on Instagram, this is what happened.
Yes, Armani foolishly referred to Alfre Woodard as Idris Elba.
The clothing brand even managed to Tweet the same nonsense before updating it with the correct name. According to comments, Armani even referred to Idris Elba’s Mandela co-star, Naomie Harris, as his girlfriend that same night. SMH.
While it was obviously a lack of attention to detail/ability to distinguish one black person from another that caused the publicly embarrassing mistake, one awesome thing did come out of it: the Twitter trend #armanicaptions. Below are a few hilarious hashtag results.
Gotta love Twitter.
