Unlike the previous edition of the award where the winners won a cash prize of 500,000, no cash prize was announced for the AMVCA 2023 edition for the ‘Best Dressed’ category.
Meanwhile Big Brother Naija star, Tacha Akide had left social media users in awe after revealing the whopping cost of her 2023 AMVCA outfit.
Tacha, who was dressed in a blue dress, designed by celebrity designer, Tolu Bally, revealed that her dress is worth $20,000.
The actress stated that though everyone looked amazing on the Black red carpet, nobody comes closer to her.
“Everybody looks AMAZING on the BLACK CARPET TODAY!!! BUT we all know Nobody comes close!!!”.
She went on to share a receipt to evidence her claims.
The price had garnered reactions from thousands of Nigerian.
Many felt the money paid for the outfit was outrageous and unnecessary while others were of the opinion that she should automatically win the award for the Best Dressed Category because of the price.
Twitter critic, Daniel Regha said: “Tacha, a few weeks ago u were agitating for a better Nigeria, but shouldn’t ur lifestyle be worth emulating? Ur outfit is awfu! & the amount spent, (if true), is !nsane. In a world where women are often being objectified, don’t encourage such mindset by dressing indecently.”
“Clothe reach to cover 1 plot of land but isn’t enough to cover the breast. We all know what we’re doing. 😂😂😂,” @Big_Dave_001 reacted.
@spirit_coder tweeted: “This babe no go rest? Which one be $20k?”
Beauty has also since reacted after she was named the Best Dressed.
She said: “Fashion is a lifestyle.”

@ZaddySlim101 said: “The cloth matches her savage energy… So.. she deserves the trophy 🏆”
Meanwhile, some netizens were of the opinion that Beauty Tukura doesn’t deserve to win while others shaded Tacha further for losing to her junior colleague.
@EgwuSamuel49 said: “Remember in this same show, award can be bought,it can be given out of favouritism,and there is too much of robbery.”
@Naughti_awol tweeted: “The truth is that I’m just holding myself from commenting on the AMVCA. Because it’s either the winners were chosen by INEC… Or we took the hangers-on of the last general election into the Awards.
“I hope the Award doesn’t lose relevance from here.”
