Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has come under criticism from fans following her choice of outfit to the Service of Songs held in honour of the late actor Alexx Ekubo.
Family and friends had gathered in Lagos state for the solemn ceremony to pay tribute to the late actor, with several videos and photos from the event circulating widely across social media platforms.
Many attendees and online viewers, who had anticipated seeing his widow, also spotted her at the event, where she was seen breaking down in tears as emotions ran high.
In a video that has now gone viral, the actress was seen arriving at the venue dressed in a white outfit.
However, her appearance quickly sparked disapproval among many social media users, who took issue with her choice of clothing. The dress was split at the front, and she appeared to be attempting to hold it in place as she moved.
Further scrutiny came after she turned away from the camera, as the outfit reportedly exposed her backside, leaving little to the imagination and intensifying the backlash online.
Fans criticise Yvonne Jegede over her outfit
Reacting to the viral clip, several fans voiced their displeasure over what she wore to the event. Some admitted they initially mistook the setting for a bathroom scene until they noticed the clear event backdrop.
Others argued that the actress should have opted for a bubu gown, while also questioning her fashion judgement.
Some commenters further insisted that every event carries an expected dress code, expressing disappointment that she appeared indifferent at such a solemn gathering.
