most of us are not professional critics. Still, we are right to say that a movie sucks when it sucks. That is because the filmmakers put the thing out publicly for us to see.
No argument there.

Additionally, being a professional critic would not justify rude comments about the appearance of private people who have not put themselves out in the public limelight. Even if someone hired them specifically to do that. They should refuse such a job, as it would be inherently rude.
I cannot, off the top of my head,
think of any professional who is paid, specifically and exclusively,
to give unsolicited opinions to the public, about the appearance of private citizens,
who happen to be going about their private business, out in public.
The closest thing I can think of are public shows that lampoon and criticize public figures, of course,
like Fashion Police.
That's why, when I gave my example of a movie critic,
I limited the acceptability of their negative comments, to movies.
