Actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot has revealed that his eccentric AMVCA outfit was inspired by a personal phase in life — a midlife crisis. The skirted look, featuring a symbolic elephant design, stirred mixed reactions online.
- Elliot wore a black shirt-skirt combo with an elephant imprint to the 2025 AMVCAs, sparking online buzz.
- He explained that life at 50 is about taking risks and expressing oneself boldly and unapologetically.
- The elephant, symbolizing strength and loyalty, gave him the confidence to own his controversial fashion moment.
Desmond Elliot shared that, as someone more involved in politics now, his rare public appearances must reflect his evolving self. “Life is about taking chances,” he said, admitting he may still be going through a midlife crisis. For him, fashion is a statement, not a gimmick.
