bdmetronews Desk ॥ Awards shows this season have proved to be rife with political statements. And the 59th Annual Grammy Awards are no exception.
Artist Joy Villa made the first of the night on Sunday with an epic outfit reveal on the red carpet, with major patriotic vibes.
Stepping out in a white cloak, the singer — a self-described feminist — posed for cameras holding a heart-shaped purse. Moments later, Villa whipped off the garment to reveal a flashy red, white, and blue gown emblazoned with the phrase “Make America Great Again” down the front.
The figure-hugging, bejeweled gown also featured star detailing and “Trump” in huge letters on the skirt of the dress.
She posted a sneak peak of her clutch earlier in the day, writing a sweet message encouraging self-love and acceptance.
“My whole artistic platform is about LOVE! I couldn’t be where I am today without the love and tenderness of those beautiful supporters and friends around me,” she wrote. “Thank you. I hope you enjoy tonight’s @grammysawards2017 and remember to forget your problems and focus on your future! You are infinite and beautiful and no one can stop you but you. So go out and celebrate yourself as a winner no matter what, together with those you adore!”
While Villa doesn’t often post on her social channels about politics, she did post a message encouraging unity among Americans shortly after the election.
