Nollywood glittered on Sunday, March 25th, 2024, at the world premiere of “Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds,” produced by actress Eniola Ajao, which attracted a star-studded audience to Lagos’ Circle Mall, Lekki.
The premiere transcended the film itself, becoming a fashion spectacle. Nigerian transgender personality, Bobrisky, renowned for comedic videos, stole the spotlight with a stunning black sequined gown, styled hair, and bold black lipstick. Bobrisky’s impeccable red carpet appearance earned her the coveted title of “Best Dressed Woman,” while Big Brother Naija alum, Groovy, clinched the “Best Dressed Man” award.
Bobrisky’s win sparked intriguing discussions, prompting reflections on Nigeria’s societal perceptions and legal landscape concerning transgender and queer identities.
Directed by Odunlade Adekola and Adebayo Tijani, “Ajanaku” features a stellar cast, including Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo, Mercy Aigbe, Lateef Adedimeji, Ibrahim Chatta, and Fathia Balogun.
While Bobrisky’s win stirred controversy among netizens, it underscored the evolving dynamics of fashion and identity in Nigerian entertainment circles.
