Kelly Clarkson took to X (formerly Twitter) Saturday to call out a store named Art of Play in Brooklyn for treating her like Julia Roberts’ iconic “Pretty Woman” character during a recent shopping excursion. “Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me,” she shared.

For sure, check it out 👎.” Art of Play declined to comment when contacted by Page Six Saturday.

Many made the same joke, pointing to the memorable moment from 1990’s “Pretty Woman” when Roberts’ character — Vivian Ward, a Hollywood escort who falls in love with a wealthy client (Richard Gere’s Edward Lewis) — gets her revenge on a posh Rodeo Drive saleswoman. Early on in the film, Vivian is treated poorly and is turned away by a rude and snobbish employee due to the way she is dressed, leaving her feeling humiliated. Later, when she returns to the boutique looking elegant and carrying numerous shopping bags from other retailers, Vivian confronts the same employee — who confirms she works on commission — and tells her, “Big mistake. Big. Huge.” Globe Photos/ZUMA Press Wire / Shutterstock Weiss Eubanks/NBCUniversal via Getty Images According to the store’s website, Art of Play features a “unique collection of magical home goods, puzzles, games, toys and books” and boasts claims of being called “one of the most beautiful shops in New York City.” Aside from their storefront, Art of Play has an “intimate 26-seat theatre” which “hosts performances from the best close-up magicians in the world,” per its site.
