When Rose McGowan hit the red carpet at the 1998 VMAs\u00a0wearing a completely see-through chainmail dress, she didn\u2019t realize her outfit would prove so scandalous \u2014 or spark backlash on a massive scale. But to this day, she has no regrets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey slut-shamed me like crazy. It was kind of hard. I hadn\u2019t really ever dealt with global media shaming. But it prepared me for later on it happening to me a whole bunch. It was also like, \u2018Sorry you\u2019re square and I\u2019m not. Bummer,’\u201d the \u201cCharmed\u201d star, 46,\u00a0told Yahoo Entertainment.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Why did I do that?\u2019 I\u2019ve had to look at that,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou know, when you do stuff sometimes on instinct and in a mood, like when a mood overtakes you on, you analyze what it was that brought you to that mood or that choice. So, I\u2019ve certainly had a lot of time to analyze and I\u2019m looking at the timeline. But I completely understand why I did what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she\u2019s\u00a0shared in the past, McGowan \u2014 who was one of the first women to\u00a0accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault\u00a0\u2014 picked that particular dress to send a powerful message to the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my first big public appearance after being sexually assaulted,\u201d the \u201cBrave\u201d author told Yahoo. \u201cI just felt like, \u2018Oh Hollywood, would you want a body just that you can use and throw away? Then I\u2019ve got one for you!\u2019 It was like at the end of \u2018Gladiator\u2019 when he comes out and he\u2019s like, \u2018Are you not entertained?’\u201d<\/p>\n\n

McGowan, who attended the awards show with then-boyfriend Marilyn Manson, even adjusted her red carpet pose for the occasion. \u201cIf you look at me, I did it with power. I didn\u2019t do it with my hand on my hip to be sexy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the women that are dressed like that on the red carpet, it\u2019s a calculated, sexy move to turn people on. Mine was like, \u2018I\u2019m gonna f\u2014k with your brain. I\u2019m going to blow your brain up.\u2019 And nobody had done it.\u201d<\/p>\n
