ITALIAN presenter Eleonora Incardona has broken her silence after being called "VULGAR" by a critic.
The glamorous DAZN star was one of several presenters who were criticised by Valentina Maceri for her choice of outfits.
Eleonora Incardona has broken her silence after her outfits were criticised
She was branded 'vulgar' by a critic
Eleonora, 34, starred for DAZN Italy during the broadcaster's coverage of the Club World Cup in the US.
But Maceri was not impressed as she said: "Incardona mainly presents the betting odds.
"And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly"
The criticism came after she published her new book - "F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism"
But Eleonora has refused to change her ways, having broken her silence on the criticism.
During an interview with Global Networker, she said: "Style is clearly part of your personal and professional identity.
"How does fashion empower you in high-stakes, male-dominated environments like sports broadcasting? Fashion is my language.
"It helps me express who I am and feel confident, even in male-dominated or high-pressure environments.
"I never give up my femininity — on the contrary, I use it as a strength.
"When you feel good in your skin, you're ready for anything."
Maceri is not the only person to take exception to the outfits worn by Eleonora.
Fashion expert and stylist Sonja Grau has described a recent black dress of Eleonora's as suitable for the "business" world.
The presenter shared a video of herself wearing the bold dress and doing keepy uppies pitchside.
She told Bild: "It doesn't make a serious impression.
"This is perfectly acceptable in leisure time, depending on the situation - for example, at the beach or a lake.
"But Ms. Incardona was in the business world, and that's not professional in any way and has nothing to do with style.
"Bare midriffs and that low neckline don't belong in the office either.
"It's fine in her free time, but everyone has to decide for themselves what they want to score with."
Eleonora stunned fans multiple times during the Club World Cup with her outfits.
One instance was when the law graduate and former model went braless in a slinky dress for one match.
Colleague Diletta Leotta was also the target of some of the criticism by Maceri.
The blonde bombshell is a firm fan favourite on the screen with her near 10million followers on social media.
