Anna Paquin was left in an uncomfortable situation after a male executive made an "awkward compliment".
The New Zealand-raised actor took to social media after a male executive made note of her dress, which Paquin found to be sexist.
"Trivial anecdote: I walked into a meeting today was informed by a male exec 'oh you're wearing a dress...'." Paquin posted on Twitter.
"What's the appropriate response?" she added, asking her fans for help on the matter.
