When Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaid’s Tale, she wanted to hold a mirror up to society. To show what could happen if we took its views on women to the extremes.
She wanted to create a conversation and a debate.
She did not (we assume ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) envision that in 2019, a reality TV star and the daughter of that guy who sings ‘Hello, is it me you’re looking for?’ would post duck face selfies while wearing Gilead’s infamous red handmaid’s uniform.

But here we are.
Over the weekend, Kylie Jenner threw her friend Anastasia Karanikolaou a party for her 22nd birthday, and we know Kylie Jenner knows how to throw a good party, but… this one was Handmaid’s Tale themed and doubled as a viewing party for the start of The Handmaid’s Tale season 3.
Mamamia recaps the first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale season three. Post continues below audio.
Guests included Sofia Richie, a couple of other Insta influencers, and Kylie’s makeup artist Ariel, who she dubbed Commander in one of her Instagram stories.

The Martha's were probably real
Perhaps we should all just be glad they didn’t decide to go as ‘sexy handmaidens’, with short robes and fishnets. Clearly, the point of the show has completely gone over her head, but hey, it’s got everyone talking about her again!
Yeah, I'm sure all the women in Alabama - especially the underprivileged and WOC - are applauding her and her stupid selfies right now.
