At the recent premiere of “Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds” in Lagos, the spotlight wasn’t just on the film itself but also on the dazzling fashion display. Among the stars gracing the red carpet was the renowned transgender personality, Okuneye “Bobrisky” Idris, who stole the show with her striking attire.
Bobrisky turned heads in a glamorous black sequined gown, complemented by elegantly styled curls and bold black lipstick. Her standout appearance earned her the title of “Best Dressed Woman” at the event, while Groovy, a former Big Brother Naija contestant, was honored as the “Best Dressed Man.”
This win sparked intriguing discussions, particularly considering Nigeria’s societal attitudes and legal framework concerning transgender and queer identities.
Directed by Odunlade Adekola and Adebayo Tijani, “Ajanaku” boasts a star-studded cast featuring industry heavyweights such as Odunlade Adekola, Femi Adebayo, Mercy Aigbe, Lateef Adedimeji, Ibrahim Chatta, and Fathia Balogun.
Bobrisky’s victory has stirred controversy online, with some netizens viewing it as a challenge to the traditional notion of femininity and questioning its impact on the attendance of biological women at the premiere.
