@Spoookerz on TikTok makes some really great points about the lack of diversity and how Australia consistently fails to include POC in their campaigns.
This is not shocking at all, considering all the racist tweets she made back when she was a nobody.

I don’t know why people act surprised, this is the same person who had a plantation wedding and had to delete her old twitter for racial slurs.

She’s a known racist
Who’s surprised ?

I count at least 10 non-white attendees, which is definitely not a lot so the diversity criticism still stands, but I don’t understand people saying there’s not a single one??

Is this not just Hailey with the Mecca employees? Why would Rhode face backlash. It would be on Mecca.. and Australia is very white overall.
This seems a bit silly to me?

Is there anything that matters more than visible diversity? Or is it at the very top of the list?

It is overwhelmingly white and I genuinely don’t like Hailey or her brand whatsoever, but it is worth mentioning that the cloudy outdoor lighting severely washes out skin tones (and color in general), and I do see several people that seem to be POC, and there is (some) variety in body types here and there. Is it enough diversity? Absolutely not, but bad lighting and bad camerawork really isn’t helping, either. Zooming in on people’s actual faces makes it *marginally* better than the initial impression, though. But it’s a terrible photo all around, and I genuinely wonder if they just exported the washed-out .raw file with zero post-processing or color correction to adjust for the poor lighting conditions.

I see Asian people and some tanned people? If you look on Rhodes instagram there is diversity. Does this sound like reaching to anyone else?
So many middle parts. Not a side part in sight! Justice for millennials!

They invited who they wanted to invite can we not do this? It would be superficial just to invite ppl for their superficial identity features. Assume good intention people. Pick on real racists and real bigots and be less annoying

i mean this was her two years before she decided to get married on a plantation so checks out
Hailey Bieber that had to delete her twitter account because people kept finding receipts of racism spanning for almost a decade? I’m so shocked!

Australian here. I’m pretty sure all those people wearing black are Mecca employees – store management and higher. There was a special event they attended with Hayley which is where these photos were taken. Mecca is like Sephora for those not aware.
It’s absolutely fair to criticise a lack of diversity, but I’m not sure Rhode is necessarily the issue here. A better question might be why Mecca’s management lacks diversity. If you look at the actual launch event which had influencers and the like, there appeared to be much more diversity in attendees.

In her defense, Australia is hella racist.
But also, this is exactly what I would expect from a Baldwin child.

Australia has the most aggressively white standard of beauty of anywhere I’ve ever lived or visited. I’m so amazed that this is even a thing as most events looks like this.

Aren’t these Mecca workers? What does Rhode have to do with the hiring practices of Mecca? Like how is this her fault?

thank god trump ended DEI otherwise this would be really bad /s

idk about Mecca but Rhode is whitegirl brand. i don’t know any WOC who fuck with Rhode or hailey Bieber, no offense to her, she just doesn’t have that sort of broad appeal. That’s not her market and pretending it is would just be disingenuous lol

Excuse me? And what do you call that? She is literally tanned. That‘s more than enough diversity! /s
Performative queen

Is this actual backlash in Australia or a few tweets from Americans? Happy to be proven wrong, but its often the latter.
Stay unclassy, Mecca.
Hailey to POC who applied:
