Nigerian 'transgender' personality Bobrisky stole the show on the red carpet at the premiere of 'Ajanaku: The Beast of Two Worlds' in Lagos on Sunday, March 25th.
Bobrisky's real name is Okune Idris Olanrewaju, and she identifies as a woman.
Not only did Bobrisky turn heads with his stunning looks, he also walked away with the night's biggest fashion honor: Best Dressed.
The premiere, held at Circle Mall in Lekki, was star-studded with A-list Nollywood stars such as Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe, Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo and Sola Sobowale graced the red carpet. But it was Bobrisky who captivated the audience.
Wearing a stunning black sequined dress, her hair styled in voluminous curls, and completing her look with bold black lipstick, Bobrisky won the night's “Best Dressed Woman” award and a cash prize of $1 million. He took the naira and left.
Big Brother Naija’s “Level Up” contestant Groovy has won the “Best Dressed Male” award.
Nigerian law prohibits transgender identity and LGBTQ+ rights. Bobrisky's win brought a lot of reactions from people, including actress Dayo Amusan's video posted on Instagram where she said:
“Yesterday, I attended a colleague's premiere, and they said we should choose one best-dressed woman and one best-dressed man. Don't get me wrong, the winner could be anyone, but… Definitely not a crossdresser. I mean, what's wrong with us? I don't know.
“I can't imagine the judges disrespecting all the women who were there. They had to choose a winner for Best Dressed Female and Best Dressed Male, but giving Best Dressed Female to a transvestite. So it undermines the efforts of all the women who participated in the event. I don't understand, what's the problem?
“If they wanted to honor crossdressers, they should have created their own category instead of disrespecting women by giving them the Best Dressed Female award.”
Bobrisky has gained recognition through his presence on social media platforms such as Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram.
Her path to fame was marked by bold fashion choices, unapologetic self-expression, and a penchant for controversy.
