Controversial Nigerian socialite, Pretty Mike of Lagos, has once again left social media buzzing following his striking appearance at the 2025 edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), which took place at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.
Known for his eccentric and headline-grabbing red carpet appearances, Pretty Mike upped the ante this year by showing up in a dazzling futuristic exosuit costume that bore a strong resemblance to the armor worn by Marvel’s iconic superhero, Iron Man. His elaborate look turned heads instantly and quickly became a trending topic online.
Sharing a series of jaw-dropping photos on his official Instagram page, Pretty Mike described the bold, attention-grabbing outfit with the caption: “What’s fashion without the audacity? ANDROMEDA in exosuit.” The statement alone underscored his unapologetic approach to style and flair for the dramatic.
The reaction on social media has been a mix of admiration and amusement. While some fans applauded the creativity and boldness of his ensemble, others playfully questioned the practicality of such an elaborate costume, especially for an indoor award event.
An Instagram user, @haronky_empire, humorously commented, “I don’t even know what you type 😂😂😂.” Another user, @bigkilo1802, added, “This bros dey always funny me.” Meanwhile, @honeytubby wrote, “Really creative 👏👏👏, but how will you now sit in the venue like this 🌚.”
Pretty Mike has built a reputation for being a consistent showstopper at red carpet events. From arriving in previous AMVCAs with a procession of masked women in chains to wearing symbol-laden costumes, he never fails to make a bold fashion statement that sparks conversation across Nigeria’s entertainment sphere.
This year’s AMVCA, which began on May 7 and is set to wrap up on May 10, continues to serve glitz, glamour, and unforgettable moments—and Pretty Mike remains one of the most talked-about attendees thanks to his fearless fashi
on choice.
