Whitney Cummings made a playful jab at Lauren Sánchez’s controversial inauguration outfit, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée responded.  

On Tuesday, the comedian told her Instagram followers she is “not gonna hate on” the 55-year-old for donning a white Alexander McQueen pantsuit paired with a peekaboo lace bra during Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.  

“She is a businesswoman, and her decisions have gotten her this far,” Cummings, 42, continued. “I respect this woman’s judgment, alright? We all wish we had it, let’s be honest.”  

Cummings acknowledged on Monday that the 55-year-old’s lingerie looked “cheap” but clarified, “I don’t blame her. I blame white lace. … This is probably $1,000, like, Dolce & Gabbana.”  

“But we’ve all done it,” she added. “We’ve all bought, like, a cute white lace bra and you take your shirt off and … it always looks like you’ve been trafficked.”  

She joked that “it looks cute in a mirror but then in a photo no bueno,” describing it as “‘Bachelor in Paradise’ meets ‘Love Is Blind’ energy.”  

After sending her “thoughts and prayers,” the “2 Broke Girls” co-creator wrapped up by saying, “She’s with the head of Amazon, and she looked like she got that top on Temu.”  

In her caption, Cummings reiterated that “this wouldn’t have been [her] outfit selection but” emphasized her belief that “white lace is a scam.”  

Lauren Sánchez responded to the social media post by leaving a heart emoji in the comments.  

The former news anchor also garnered attention on Tuesday for “liking” supportive comments on her recent Instagram posts.  

One such comment stated, “Girl you ate that inaugural look don’t pay attention to no haters. Only opinion that matters is your own and Jeff’s.”  

Sánchez has not yet addressed Megyn Kelly’s comparison of her to a “hooker” or Christine Quinn’s criticism of her “chesticles [being] hoisted” during the Washington, DC, event.  

While Amy Robach criticized the outfit on her and T.J. Holmes’ podcast as being “a lot to look at,” she concluded by saying, “To each their own.”  

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg appeared to approve, as he was reportedly caught on camera looking at Sánchez’s chest and later “liked” a photo of her inauguration ball look.  

Sánchez wore a flowing orange gown to Monday’s dance and a strapless black dress at an event the night before. Both outfits were reportedly from Dolce & Gabbana.
