To be fair, she didn't get her clothes ripped off. She got the outer layer of her clothes removed, so that the next layer could be revealed. She wore one outfit under another.
It was the first of many outfit changes for her.
I didn't predict this one, but her odd tux didn't suit her. She's a supermodel -- or was -- and is capable of looking and dressing far better than that. So, when it happened, I wasn't surprised.
And, again to be fair, the boys didn't claim to be removing her clothes. Rather, it was a "loose thread."
What would have made it work better? Well, she could have worn a more mannish tux, afterall the setup was that she was trying to fit in with the boys. And under it, she could have worn a far more attractive suit -- or even somehow gotten a dress or gown under there.
Of course, it still would have beena suuuperlame bit. But at least she would have been dressed appropriately. As it was, she looked awkward and stupid.

So, I honestly ask, what about it was offensive? (Other than the lameness, the outfits and the telegraphing of bit, of course.) It's an honest question.
