Armani’s Instagram Mistake Led to #ArmaniCaptions, Twitter’s Latest Roast

Tonight, Armani failed with flying colors when they posted a picture of Alfre Woodard with the caption “Idris Elba posing in a gorgeous Giorgio @armani dress at the 5th Annual Governors Awards.” OMGGGG ALL THE FACEPALMS THAT EVER FACEPALMED!!! They took it down soon after when people were like “SERIOUSLY?!”

Armani fail Alfre Woodard

Naturally, a hashtag was born from this utter FAILURE. Created by @FeministaJones (according to a couple of folks who tweeted me), dragging them up and down and sideways. And I laughed so hard I cried at some of them. Good times.

Anyway, below are some of the funniest tweets from the hashtag. If for some reason you can’t view the tweets below, check out on #ArmaniCaptions on Storify!

SMDH at Armani. They totally deserve this roast. Whatcha think?

    The hashtag was silly and childish. This is why it went left so quickly.

    Okay, this is the kind of thing that makes me like Twitter a little. The poor Armani intern probably didn’t even see the mass draggage coming. Oh well, life lesson for ya kid. Your humiliation is my morning chuckles. LOL

    “Race-themed” Twitter is the best!Pure genius!

    The “Will Smith and Family” one was enough to leave me gasping for air at my desk at work. My office-mate is now looking at me weird

    In all honesty, I do believe that this was a case of a sloppy intern posting the wrong caption under the wrong picture (since Irdis WAS at the event), but the Black Twitter aftermath was hilarious. The fact that people were posting pictures of Lil Mama as Bow Wow for the hashtag was unbearably funny.

      yeah, but he probably wasn’t in an armani dress as the caption indicates…
