Ice Spice turned heads — and sparked debate — with her bold fashion choice at a recent screening of the new SpongeBob movie in New York City.
The 25-year-old rapper attended a screening of the PG-rated film The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants on Wednesday, December 17, at the Paramount Pictures Screening Room.
Ice Spice, who appears in the film and contributed an original song to its soundtrack, arrived wearing a striking and revealing outfit.
For the event, the “Thootie” rapper rocked a pink wig paired with a sheer white lace dress that was completely see-through, allowing her thong and much of her backside to be visible through the fabric. She posed confidently for photos in front of the colorful SpongeBob-themed backdrop.
Images from the screening were later shared on Paramount Pictures’ official social media pages, where they reportedly drew criticism from some parents who felt the outfit was inappropriate for a children’s movie. It remains unclear whether any children were present at the screening itself.

Ice Spice has not publicly responded to the backlash.
Beyond the fashion moment, the rapper played a creative role in the film. She recorded the original track “Big Guy” for the movie’s soundtrack, a process she recently discussed during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
“This was probably the hundredth draft that finally made it out — the one you guys are hearing,” Ice said. “The whole premise of the film is about SpongeBob becoming a ‘big guy,’ so I really had to weave that phrase throughout the song. I’m actually glad it took so many drafts because it ended up being my favorite version.”
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants is the latest installment in the long-running animated franchise and is aimed at family audiences worldwide.
