Abby Baffoe Responds to Masters Outfit Critics with Viral TikTok Video
Social media influencer Abby Baffoe has fired back at critics who condemned her attire at the 2026 Masters Tournament, posting a defiant TikTok video that embraced the backlash. The 30-year-old content creator, known for her “get ready with me” videos, attended Augusta National wearing a vintage Chanel shirt paired with white shorts, which sparked debate among golf fans over the appropriateness of her outfit for the tradition-bound event.
In the six-second clip posted to her 1.4 million TikTok followers, Baffoe walks toward the camera with her tongue out and flashing a peace sign, overlaid with the text “When you wake up getting canceled for your masters outfit” and set to Miranda Lambert’s “Only Prettier.” The video is captioned “Won worst dressed masters 2026,” directly addressing the criticism she received online.
Baffoe’s look—a vintage Chanel top and minimal white shorts—divided opinions, with many calling it inappropriate for Augusta National’s traditionally strict standards. However, she noted that her attire did not violate any official rules, pointing to the Masters’ website guidance which emphasizes dressing for weather conditions and wearing comfortable, water-resistant shoes without spikes.
The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between evolving fashion norms and the Masters’ reputation for tradition. Even as Augusta National does not publish a detailed public dress code, enforcement focuses on prohibiting phone use for calls, texts, or recording on the grounds—a rule recently exemplified by the reported removal of former British Open champion Mark Calcavecchia for phone usage.
Rather than apologizing, Baffoe has leaned into the criticism, using humor and social media to defend her choice. Her response reflects a broader conversation about personal expression at prestigious sporting events, where attire often becomes a focal point of public debate alongside the competition itself.
