Your support makes all the difference.Joy Villa arrived at the Grammys red carpet wearing a pro-Donald Trump statement dress.
The singer donned a silver US border-wall inspired dress designed by Designers Allinger of Desi Designs with “Build the Wall” emblazoned on the back and a matching spiky headpiece.
Villa completed the political look with a red handbag bearing President Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”.
The look was met with surprise on social media.
“What a disrespectful dress,” one person tweeted in response to the singer’s outfit choice.
This is not the first time the American singer has decided to use the Grammys as a platform for her political statements.
Last year, Villa wore a pro-life gown decorated with a foetus and a “choose life” handbag.
In 2017, she also used the red carpet to show her support for President Trump, with a red, white, and blue “Make America Great Again” dress.
The singer was not alone in making a political statement with her outfit.
Singer Ricky Rebel donned a pro-Trump Jacket for the 61st annual awards show, which has ”Keep America Great” written on it.
