The AMVCA show may have come to an end but the buzz surrounding it is far from dying anytime soon. If it isn't about who got what movie awards, it is about the controversial Best Dressed Awards. 

Nollywood actress Lisa Omorodion, recently took to social media to express her displeasure about the lack of representation of plus-sized women in the Best Dressed category.

According to her, the fashion industry creates a fantasy of what women are supposed to wear and a lot of women struggle to fit into this.

She went further to express her disappointment at the organizers of the AMVCA for discriminating against plus-size women.

According to the actress who is also plus-size and showed off her outfit in her post, none of them made it to the Best Dressed list. 

Part of her post reads: "It is very disheartening that in Africa, where women are naturally curvaceous,we continue to discriminate against them. At the just concluded Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) award show, not one plus size woman made it to the best dressed list. Is style and best dressed list the preserve of only slim/ skinny women? We have to do better."

 

 

The recently concluded show witnessed a lot of Nigerian celebrities making several attention grabbing appearances on the red carpet, all thanks to the creative stylists and glam teams behind their looks.

So good looking was the outfit of former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemates that they managed to snag the awards for the best dressed male and female respectively.

However, celebrity stylist Toyin Lawani did not think they deserved it, and after she made her opinion public, fellow stylist, Swanky Jerry, was quick to drag her through the mud for her comments.
