Eva Amurri had sharp words for those who criticized her low-cut wedding dress as “scandalous.”
Amurri, a lifestyle blogger and the daughter of actress Susan Sarandon and director Franco Amurri, married chef Ian Hock on Saturday at Windrift Hall in New York’s Hudson Valley.
She addressed the criticism of her gown choice via Instagram stories, sharing a picture with her husband from the wedding.
“And to anyone scandalized by my breasts not being ‘put away’ …,” she captioned the shot.
The new bride then posted a close-up of her cleavage from the same photo and added the caption: “Feel free to screenshot this for later,” followed by a kissing emoji.
Her dress was a corseted, strapless, bustier-style gown designed by Kim Kassas, from Bridal Reflections in New York City. Amurri told People: “I wanted to feel sexy but elegant, and I think the dress strikes the perfect balance.”
Her choice of a cleavage-baring gown drew comparisons to her mother’s decision to wear a low-cut outfit when she presented the In Memoriam segment at the 2016 Academy Awards ceremony.
Sarandon took to the Oscars stage wearing an open, wide-lapel white blazer over a black push-up bra. Piers Morgan later tweeted that Sarandon’s choice of wardrobe for the somber event was “horribly inappropriate.”

Amurri also took time on Monday to not only respond to the backlash but to share a heartfelt message following her wedding. Calling the day “magical,” Amurri said that even though it rained: “We were surrounded by so much love. The day felt like time stood still for us…Our families came together into a perfectly imperfect blended bubble of love and memories.”
She continued to address her new husband and three children, whom she shares with her ex-husband, former Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player Kyle Martino. Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “Ian, Marlowe, Major, and Mateo: I am yours always.”
There is nothing that makes me happier than belonging to the four of you,” she continued. “And to my magical husband: you are my deepest wish, granted. Forever starts now!!!!!!”
The couple’s French garden party-themed wedding was low-key and intimate. Amurri told People: “We wanted to write our own love letters to each other to read as vows, which was so special for us … We also didn’t have any bridal party besides the kids, and it was perfect.”
