Newsworthy incident
Universal Studios Japan dress code incident (2022)
On 29 December 2022, Sherrine took to TikTok to share how she had almost been barred from entering the Universal Studios Japan theme park in Osaka due to her outfit.[8] According to news reports, Sherrine had been dressed in a hot pink crop top, skirt, skin-coloured leggings and knee-high boots. Sherrine said that this was a typical outfit she would wear in Singapore, with the addition of a scarf and coat for Osaka’s winter weather.[8]
When Sherrine was about to enter the park, she was stopped by two female park staff who had “pointed at [her] skirt”.[8] Since Sherrine could not understand Japanese, the female staff enlisted the help of another English-speaking staff member, who told her to "pull down [her] skirt and zip up [her] winter coat".[8] Sherrine then tried explaining to them that she had leggings on, after which the issue was amicably resolved and she was allowed entry into the park.[8]
Sherrine explained in the now-deleted video that she was sharing the story in the hopes that it can “serve as a PSA for anyone going [to] Japan to follow their dress code and not make the same mistake [she] did”.[8]
In October of 2022, Universal Studios Japan tweeted that guests dressed in “overly revealing outfits” may be asked to leave the park premises.[8][9] Said tweet came after an incident in which a group of five women dressed in lingerie-like outfits entered Universal Studios and shared photos they took online, sparking backlash against both them and the park.[8][10]
