As Seen in New York: Nigerian Actress Angela Okorie’s Barely-There Fashion Choice Sparks Debate.

In the USA

The news as it trends. See the video below. 

Nigerian actress Angela Okorie turned heads in New York after appearing in a sheer, nearly nude dress—just as the city’s temperatures dropped and most people bundled up in sweaters and hoodies.

Her bold fashion choice has stirred controversy, with critics calling it culturally insensitive and inappropriate for a woman born into Nigeria’s rich heritage.

Many argue that such exposure in a global city sends the wrong message, likening the look to that of a call girl rather than a celebrated actress.

Supporters, however, defend her right to self-expression and fashion freedom.

The incident has reignited conversations around modesty, cultural identity, and the evolving standards of public appearance—especially among Nigerian celebrities visiting the U.S. on short-term visas.
