A mum claims she was told she couldn't board a flight unless she changed out of her outfit.
Karleeeee, as she is known on TikTok, arrived at Detroit Airport wearing the same outfit as her pal. The friends were sporting very bright orange tops and bottoms they had bought from online retailer Shein.
The video creator shared a clip of her and her pal walking alongside one another with the cropped t-shirts with coordinating mini skirts. "When you almost get kicked off the flight because the flight attendant was ‘offended’ by your outfit,” a caption on the video read.
Further information on the side of the clip made clear that the women had to make an outfit change. "Literally made my friend buy shirts because they were sooo offended by what we were wearing,” it read.
In a latter video answering some of the question about the incident, Karleeeee said the order clearly hadn't come because of how revealing the outfits were. “We were talking to the lady at the desk then right before we were about to board she stopped us,” she said.

She claimed that they were then told that "one of our flight attendants is super offended by your outfits" and that they would need to change, or they'd have to be put on another flight. Karleeeee says that "nothing was showing beside our midriff, barely our stomach and our legs" in their outfits.
Ultimately, the two friends went to a gift shop to buy t-shirts and then returned to the boarding gate and asked why they had been called out. Karleeeee and her plans are not the only ones who have ended up being dress coded when at the airport. Last year a woman said she was banned from boarding a flight at Navegantes Airport in Brazil because of how she was dressed.
Kine-Chan faced a similar issue at the airport (Jam Press/CO Press Office)Kine-Chan a Brazilian model, influencer, and OnlyFans creator says she was stopped from getting on the plane because she was wearing only a black bikini, turquoise wig, and black sandals.
The 21-year-old was dressed up as Rebecca, from the anime web series CyberPunk: Edgerunners. Taking to Instagram to lament the situation with her 612,000 followers, Kine-Chan wrote about the "very annoying situation happened this weekend!"
“I tried to board at Navegantes airport dressed as Rebecca's Cosplay for an event. I already knew that I could be late, so I was dressed so as not to waste time and could go straight to my room. But I was told to go home and change clothes because the one I was wearing was not ‘appropriate’. I explained that I was going to an event. Anyway Rebecca barred," she wrote.
