* IdiotPlot: The necklace being so famous means it would be impossible to fence, and even selling the diamonds individually wouldn't get the team anywhere close to the $150 million the whole thing is worth. [[spoiler:Which is why they steal more than one necklace.]]

** The team's success relies heavily on everyone responsible for the Toussaint being inexplicably lax on security, incompetent, or very short sighted. [[They hired a security team to watch over the necklace all night at the gala, but Constance was able to get the necklace off of Daphne in the bathroom, where security couldn't enter, because nobody thought to hire any female security staff in the eventuality that Daphne would need to use the bathroom.]]
** [spoiler: When the security team thinks the Toussaint fell off in the water, nobody immediately checks the necklace's locking mechanism to make sure it's still working properly. The also didn't think to have someone check the necklace's authenticity before they retrieved it from Daphne's possession.
** Despite the fact that cameras cover every inch of the Met-Gala with the exception of a small blind spot, [[spoiler: nobody looking at the footage spots that Daphne still had the necklace on her immediately before entering the bathroom, far past the water that it supposedly fell off in, despite the fact that such a detail is almost certainly one of the first logical things to check over.

* ActorShipping: In conjunction with the FanPreferredCouple below, shipping Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock themselves together has become at least as popular as Debbie and Lou, thanks to their flirty, sarcastic banter in interviews, frequent physical closeness, and Cate's bad habit of [[ThatCameOutWrong accidentally making]] [[AccidentalInnuendo innuendos]]. Cate/Sarah Paulson is probably the next-most popular, followed shortly after by Cate and, well, any of the other women.

* EveryoneIsGay: Hardly anyone in the fanbase headcanons any of the women as being straight. Most are thought to be [[BiTheWay bisexual]], while others (usually Lou) are portrayed as lesbians. Tends to happen when you have eight female leads with lots of chemistry, and all the male cast members are in supporting roles.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Fanon}}: Pretty much the entire fanbase agrees that Lou is gay. Most people headcanon the other women as bisexual, pansexual, or lesbians, but it's practically impossible to find someone that headcanons Lou as straight.

Doubly so when you realize that being in jail meant she didn't get to attend his funeral, either.]] Also not helping is Reuben showing up and telling her [[spoiler: that Danny thought her plan was genius and would work, but that he didn't think she should do it. It's implied that it's because he didn't want her to end up in jail again.]]

* OvershadowedByControversy: Matt Damon appearing in such a female-centric film got pretty questionable after his remarks on the "Me Too" movement, and a petition was even started to cut his cameo. His cameo is confirmed as being cut, though two other members of the original cast make cameos, too.

Not a YMMV trope.


* ComplexityAddiction: Arguably, Frazier's question about if the whole Ocean clan is genetically predisposed towards thievery and revenge schemes could be taken as this. Danny's schemes became increasingly more dangerous and complex over time, which might be what led to his death (or his faking it). Now, Debbie is back at it after being in prison for five years and, from the sound of it, spending most of her time behind bars plotting this movie's heist. She says herself that after three years, she wasn't getting caught when she ran the plan in her head. After five years, she's got it down to a science.

Added DiffLines:

* LGBTFanbase: Oh, yes! This movie has a ''massive'' fanbase of queer women, which really isn't a surprise -- it features not one, not two, but ''eight'' [[MsFanservice extremely attractive leading ladies]], there's bucketloads of LesYay, there's no heterosexual romance outside of flashbacks (and the guy in said romance is the closest thing the film has to an antagonist, having framed the woman he was dating in the backstory, so that hardly counts), ''and'' it has Creator/CateBlanchett, who has been nicknamed "Queen of the Lesbians."
