Social media is ablaze with excitement over the bold new appearance that Nigerian artist Stanley Omah Didia, better known by his stage name Omah Lay, has debuted.

Beginning on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Paris Fashion Week marked the award-winning artist's fashion debut.

Omah Lay chose to forgo his trademark dreadlocks in favor of a dramatic makeover by cutting his hair and applying rollers to create a smooth, carefree look.

His striking ensemble, which included an orange suit, a white shirt, a black tie, and an unexpected accessory—a feminine bag—added to the talk.

Many internet users debated his fashion choices in response to the unusual attire, with differing views on whether it was daring or strange.
