Brazilian TV star and influencer Beatriz Reis, 26, was barred from a Miami restaurant on Thursday, May 28, for her dress.
Known online as Bia do Brás, the former saleswoman was wearing a black bikini with sequins on the top half, underneath a sheer black dress with a corset-style embellishment that covered part of her torso.
After being told she had to leave, Reis immediately took out her phone and began recording herself blasting the restaurant. But instead of backing her, most viewers defended the establishment’s stance.
“I’m sorry, but it wasn’t suitable for a restaurant,” one user said.

In a video shared on Instagram Stories, Reis explained that she and her friend Emerson Azevedo, a Brazilian photo and videographer, were denied entry to a Miami establishment for not adhering to the dress code.
She revealed that the restaurant had deemed both her dress and Azevedo’s tank top inappropriate.

“Did you know that many places here have a ‘dress code’ and bar entry to anyone who shows too much skin?” she wrote in Portuguese.
“Eme and I were barred because he was wearing a tank top, and I’m wearing a more transparent dress,” she said in the video. “What’s the big deal, people? It’s the beach!
In the background of the video, a voice could be heard uttering the word “nak*d” in English.

Despite the circumstances, Reis managed to dine at another restaurant but said it would be her first and only dinner in Miami, according to CNN Brasil.
Miami restaurants frequently enforce dress codes, requiring men to avoid sleeveless shirts, shorts, and open shoes, and women to be in cocktail attire. No visible beachwear is allowed at establishments with such rules.

Several users informed Reis, after her video went viral, that she would be denied entry to most establishments for her attire and would be expected to adhere to a dress code.
“She wouldn’t get into any high-end restaurant in Brazil dressed like that,” one user wrote. Another said, “No need to go out to a restaurant like that.”

“Just because it’s a beach area doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to go to a semi-n*de restaurant, especially a fancy one,” a third wrote. “The restaurant has every right to have dress code criteria.”

“I once got turned away from a pub in Ireland for wearing Nike sweatpants,” a person shared their own experience.
“There are places that still maintain a minimum standard of attire and behavior,” wrote another person.
“Dress code is dress code… it happens in many places,” another netizen reminded her.

“I wanted you to know how grateful I am for your life and for the incredible person you are,” she wrote in one story.
“Our friendship is not perfect, we fight, get involved, get stressed hahahaha, but in the end we always choose to stay close to each other. And maybe that’s exactly what makes everything so true!”
