Popular Nigerian stylist and fashion influencer Toyin Lawani aka Tiannah Empire, has come under massive fire home and abroad for a huge blunder made on the outfit of ex-BBNaija housemate Hermes at the recent Black Panther premiere in Lagos, Nigeria.
Toyin who has been largely responsible for styling Hermes since his emergence from the house had put him in another peculiar outfit with a cape.
The cape had paid tribute to the late Black Panther movie lead actor Chadwick Boseman. The stylist however got the spelling wrong with ‘Chad Bosewick’.
While some had attempted to make excuses for her at the beginning, Toyin lost all hopes of redemption when a video of her surfaced where she could be heard referring to the iconic star as ‘Chad Bosewick’.
“Wakanda can never be the same without ‘Chad Boswick’” she had said.
Toyin, Hermes and her entire team have been dragged for the grave error with many wondering why no one was able to spot it before it was displayed to millions of people.
Nigerians have expressed embarrassment at the ordeal.
This comes after an NTA reporter hadn’t known the name of the current lead actress of the movie, Letitia Wright while interviewing her on the red carpet.
