Multi-award-winning American artist — Fantasia Taylor rocked the 66th Grammy Awards stage in a hand-beaded corset bodysuit by Nigerian luxury designer, Matopeda, for her Tina Turner homage performance.
Styled by Daniel Hawkins, who has been stirring a vibrant wave of conversations about his impeccable work on Fantasia’s ever-impressive looks lately (from The Color Purple media rounds to red carpet events, Daniel and Fantasia have not missed, and this time on stage), Fantasia looked so stunning in the custom golden outfit by Matopeda featuring fringes, a plunging neckline and exaggerated shoulders, which was paired with bangs and nude makeup.

Matopeda produced the exquisite outfit in 2 days, starting on Saturday evening and shipping on Monday night. The outfit was received by Fantasia’s team the next Friday, ahead of the Grammys on Sunday Night, and it fitted the star perfectly.

This is another testament to the amazing work African designers are doing, making the motherland proud on the global scene. Well done Matopeda.
