Nollywood actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot turned heads at the AMVCA 2025 with an outfit that sparked debate online — bold to some, baffling to others.
- Desmond Elliot appeared at the AMVCAs in a colorful, custom-made agbada with modern tailoring.
- Fashion critics applauded his effort to blend tradition with flair; others found it loud and overdone.
- The outfit has since gone viral, drawing reactions across Instagram, X, and fashion blogs.
To some fans, Elliot’s look was a refreshing departure from safe red-carpet styles — unapologetically Nigerian and daring. Others questioned the styling, with some likening it to a costume. For Elliot, it was a moment of cultural pride and self-expression
As celebrities lean more into bolder fashion at award shows, where is the line between risk and ridicule? Will Elliot’s AMVCA moment inspire more expressive red carpet looks or more caution?
