Yemi Alade is bold with her fashion, and we love it. Last night, at the 67th Grammy Awards, following the Special Merit Awards ceremony and nominees’ reception where she received her very first nomination medal for Best African Music Performance for “Tomorrow“, she stunned in a traditional Edo attire that celebrated her heritage in grand style.

Her regal red gown featured intricate beadwork and dramatic wave-like pleats that cascaded down into a statement mermaid-style train.
