Actress Jackie Matubia and her fiance blessing Lungaho have spoken out in defense of their attire for the premiere of Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
The actress claimed in a video on her YouTube channel that the invitation to the event was delivered after it had already started, giving them little time to find the ideal attire.
“The invite came on Monday mid-night so we saw it on Tuesday morning and the event was to be on Wednesday so I had a very nice outfit that I had never worn since my birthday but when I tried my outfit it was not okay so I tried reaching all the big designers but I could not get a dress in less than an hour,” Matubia said.
Adding:
“So I went for a very simple dress we are sorry we did not meet your expectations but next time we will do better.”
The couple continued by saying that they were paid to attend the event and could not miss it.
“Regardless of all we could not miss the event because we were being paid to be there and we need that money,” she noted
The fashion police criticized the artists at the film’s premiere, claiming that many of them had dressed in keeping with the plot.
Not all celebs, meanwhile, ended themselves on the cutting room floor; some, like YouTuber Eve Mungai and actress Kate Actress, were applauded for their fashionable sense.
