Well… no one does it quite like Denrele Edun. No one.
The media personality showed up at the ongoing Africa Magic Viewers
Choice awards in Lagos, sparkling from head to toe looking exactly like
only Denrele can.
Don’t ask us, we don’t know what to think of it either.
A lot of people felt that he picked the outfit in honour of his late best friend, Goldie, but certainly not.
He simply went shopping and spotted the material on a shelf in
Tiannah’s place, owned by Toyin Lawani. The moment he saw it, a thought
came to his mind- the AMVCA statuette.
Denrenle wanted to be a real life AMVCA statuette for the night. “It
is 24-carat gold and I just looked at it and I said to myslef, ‘why not
strut out something that reeks of the statuette?’ and I wanted to look
like a statuette tonight. I know I went a bit overboard with it,” he
said. You think?
However, making such decisions come with its consequences. He
certainly got the stares he wanted but much to his own detriment, “I
mean my back is all in the open and I am hot. I do not know how you
ladies do it. My back is so sweaty that I had to tell everyone who wants
to hug me to put their hand on my butt instead of my back. It is quite
difficult to maneuver as well but this is what I’m going to rock the
afterparty with.”
The dress was designed by Elegante by Tiannah Styling. She styled
every other thing on him including the silver Caveler shoes which he
admitted are hell to walk in, the golden statement hand pieces and neck
pieces.
The hair as well. To make the look complete, Denrenle settled for a
more different updo than he is usually known for- braids. The hair, also
done by Tiannah Styling, is all shades of white, dirty grey and blonde
all wrapped up in a bun. And it was the most interesting thing we’d ever
seen.
