Anado Kabika, director of the Miss Congo pageant, is trending because of the peculiar dress made of condoms she wore during the final gala of Miss Universe 2024. And although she wore it on November 16th, it is only now that it has gone viral on social media, where it has both detractors and fans of her style.
Kabika's entire dress was made of condoms, and as if that weren't enough, she herself said they were new and used, sparking controversy on social media.
Through a video from the Arena Ciudad de México, the director of Miss Congo expressed that she decided to use the dress made of condoms to raise awareness about the importance of using condoms.
"I have a cause. It's important for everyone to use a condom. People are not using condoms anymore. So you need to use it. We need to protect ourselves. Because HIV still exists... I think some of the condoms here have already been used and I have new ones. So I combined them. It's very important for people to use a condom," said Anado Kabika from the red carpet of Miss Universe.
Director of Miss Congo and the reactions it sparked
One of the aspects that caught the most attention about the condom dress worn by the director of Miss Congo was that, according to her, some of them were used. It is not known if she said it to draw attention, or if it was really the case. What is certain is that this information sparked a wave of comments.
"I love the idea of sustainable fashion and raising awareness, but I still don't understand how she used 'used condoms'," "I was like wow 'so innovative', until she said that some of them were used," are some comments on the Instagram account @misslebanonfanclub, which shared the video of the director of Miss Congo presenting her dress.
