Her Campus: Tessa Thompson’s outfits in ‘sorry to bother you’ are making a huge statement

New film Sorry to Bother You stars Tessa Thompson as Detroit, a politically minded artist and girlfriend to a African-American telemarketer who succeeds at his job by using his “white voice.” The movie centers around how people of color have to adopt a sort of white identity in order to be successful, and has so far been called shocking, political, dizzying and surreal – but that’s what makes it so great. Even better are Thompson/Detroit’s politically-charged outfits appearing throughout the film.

From Detroit’s statement earrings that also make a statement – reading “Tell Homeland Security We Are the Bomb” and “Murder, Murder, Murder, Kill, Kill, Kill” to her slogan tee shirts, and one that states “The Future is Female Ejaculation” across the front – her outfits are the most memorable in the movie, and it’s for good reason.
