Susan Sarandon delivered an emotional tribute to her late friend David Bowie during the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night — but many viewers at home were focused on something else entirely as the actress’ revealing outfit racked up comments on social media.

The 69-year-old actress, grandmother and fervent Bernie Sanders supporter donned a white pantsuit combo with just a black bra on underneath while presenting the evening’s “In Memoriam” tribute honoring the celebrities who have died this year.

Sarandon began the segment by honoring musician David Bowie, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 69.

“My dear friend David Bowie once said: ‘All clichés are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is,'” Susan said, according to the Daily Mail, one of the few outlets not to be distracted by the actress’ on-display cleavage.

“Those words resonate when we’ve lost someone who made a special impact on us,” she continued. “So now let’s pause to remember some of the actors whose earthly voices have been silenced, but whose brilliance and creativity still speak in the unforgettable work they’ve left behind.’

By the time the tribute began in earnest, viewers had flocked to social media to weigh in on Sarandon’s revealing outfit.

At least one viewer called the actress’ ensemble inappropriate for the segment she was presenting:

But fellow actress Kate Winslet appeared to enjoy it nonetheless:
