Following initial previews of Village, Lady Dimitrescu unexpectedly rose in popularity and has become subject to a significant amount of fan-driven labor, including fan art, cosplay, memes, and erotica. Journalists and commentators took note of the trend, which began well before the release of Village in May 2021, attributing the rapid surge of fan interest in the character to various aspects of her appearance and sex appeal. Robertson's performance as Lady Dimitrescu was positively-received, and won her several awards.
