StyleBasketballer Kiki Iriafen’s Outfit At WNBA Draft Night Pays Homage To Her Nigerian Roots
According to Ekwutosblog, Basketball star, Okikiola “Kiki” Iriafen made a statement both with her achievement and her attire at the WNBA draft.
Kiki was the number four overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Washington Mystics, and that’s such a huge deal. The Stanford women’s basketball alumnus celebrated this significant accomplishment in style.
For the occasion, she wore a custom-made gold and brown beaded, sequined dress with a thigh-high slit. Designed by Nigerian designer Nneka Alexandra (Brides By Nona), the dress evoked the style of aso-ebi or bridal wear, serving as a homage to Kiki’s Nigerian roots.
