Little Mix fans are miffed.
The British girl band is facing heat for their revealing outfit choices at Sunday night's all-star concert to benefit the victims of the attack outside Ariana Grande’s Manchester concert last month.
Many viewers felt their outfits were "distasteful" in light of the reason the concert was called.

Great concert but whoever dressed Little Mix should be fired, totally inappropriate outfits for this concert #OneLoveManchester #LittleMix

Outfits were a little distasteful for such an event!

@LittleMix totally no need for those outfits tonight. This was not a night about sexy outfits, take example from Ariana!

Your outfits lastnight at the concert were beyond disrespectful! The event was about remembering victims & you lot looked like strippers 😠😤

However, other fans came to the group's defense:
everyone tearing little mix down for their outfits, thought the whole point was being empowered & free in the face of terror? #LittleMix

@LittleMix performed last night to raise money for a gd cause. If u care more abt their outfits, it says more abt u than it does about them.

Grande's One Love Manchester concert Sunday raised more than $13 million for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, created for those affected by the attack at Grande's May 22 show.
