I love the fact that she doesn't care what other people think about her, reputation or how they criticize, or that she sticks to what she likes to wear.
First of all, she has a very cool and fit body, which makes it possible for her to wear cool clothes, but in Japan, there are so many people who are concerned about showing off their bodies, so I wish more people would have that kind of mindset.

As first impression, oh that’s unique, I didn’t even realize that was made by real meat. If I was her, wearing it might be fear and  thrilling simultaneously because of the aspect of sanitation and politics.

Laverne Cox continued to break down barriers, appearing in several other TV shows, hitting national news, and then being featured on the cover of TIME Magazine in 2015. She is a leading face of the trans rights movement and inspires trans youth all over the world.

(Citation from GLSEN LGBTQ+ History Cards )

"Oct. 8, Title VII, Supreme Court" in her clutch is to raise awareness about an upcoming date where the U.S. Supreme Court will hear three cases to decide whether or not LGBTQ+ people would be protected from workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

•My reaction

I didn't realize she was transgender at first, which surprised me after I looked her up. It's a striking look, with the simple, understated color of the dress further accentuating the clutch back. I think the ruffled, feminine dress is another nice touch to her femininity (a calm design that doesn't feel masculine at all).
