Nicholas Hoult’s wife, Bryana Holly, has been forced to share a statement to body-shaming trolls about her 2026 Oscars dress.
The Warm Bodies star, 36, and 34-year-old model-actress Bryana secretly tied the knot before announcing the news in 2024, and they share two children together.
Following the official awards ceremony on Sunday (15 March), the pair attended the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where Bryana stunned in a gorgeous sparkly low-cut black gown by sustainable brand, Lurelly.
After the event, the mum-of-two took to Instagram, where she shared with her 1.2 million followers a series of snaps of her and her hubby, which showed off their outfits.

"Out on a school night," she captioned the carousel post, which quickly sparked criticism from body-shamers who took issue with the way her 'chest' looked in the dress, which showed a bit of side-boob.
She's since taken to her Instagram Stories to call out such comments, re-sharing the post along with overlay text reading: "I am seeing the comments around my chest and not that *anyone* is owed an explanation but this is the product of a breastfeeding mother who hasn't fed her babies in hours ok!"
Bryana rounded off her short but sweet post, adding: "If you know then you know."
She's since been inundated with praise from fans, with one Reddit user congratulating: "People really need to relearn how to see a woman’s body without turning into unpaid forensic analysts. Good for her for saying it plainly, but she never should’ve had to explain herself in the first place."
A second chimed in: "Woman going 5 minutes without criticism challenge. Difficulty: Impossible."
"Right? Picking women apart like this is a learned thing, whether it is other women's bodies or our own. We can unlearn and stop teaching others to do so," highlighted a third.
A fourth lamented: "The worst part is that even when a woman does explain it plainly, half of these internet sleuths will just double down and say she’s lying or 'gaslighting' them. You literally can't win once the internet decides your body is public property."
A fifth commented: "I could never be famous. Imagine having to explain your actual boobs to strangers on the internet so they’ll leave you alone."
"Same! The way you’re constantly picked apart, too fat, too skinny, boobs too big, boobs too small. Bloated for a day? Better hope you don’t get papped! It’s insanity," commiserated another.
And a final Redditor echoed: First of all, ew... There are that many comments about her boobs in a negative impact that she has to address it, and second of all… EW??? Huh??? She looks amazing.
"People are so f*cking disgusting and brainwashed, I don’t even know what they want to see anymore if this disturbs or provokes them in any way/shape/form."
