As the glamour of the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) settles, former Big Brother Naija winner, Whitemoney, has sparked a conversation among celebrities regarding the exorbitant costs associated with their red carpet looks.
In a video shared on his Instagram account, Whitemoney cautioned his colleagues against overspending on designer outfits for the prestigious event.
“AMVCA na pressure,” Whitemoney remarked, emphasizing the immense financial strain many celebrities endure to secure the perfect ensemble for the red carpet affair.
He pointed out the exquisite fashion statements of fellow stars like Neo Akpofure, Elozonam, and Saga, applauding their impeccable style choices but acknowledging the hefty price tags attached to such outfits.
“Forget it, I can’t relate,” Whitemoney admitted, highlighting the staggering expense involved in procuring a single outfit for the AMVCA. With costs often exceeding one million naira, he stressed the impracticality of investing such a substantial sum for attire destined to be worn only once.
Whitemoney’s remarks have resonated with many in the entertainment industry, reigniting discussions about the financial pressures faced by celebrities to maintain appearances at high-profile events, while the allure of the red carpet and the opportunity to showcase one’s fashion prowess remain undeniable.
