Diana Rose, a popular TikTok personality based in the United States, recently sparked a wave of criticism after sharing her thoughts on the wedding attire of Prince Indah and his wife, Winnie NyaMigori, during their wedding in Migori on April 13. The couple had a traditional wedding celebration, which attracted several celebrities and political figures. However, Diana’s comments about their outfits were met with backlash from many Kenyans.
During her TikTok live session, Diana Rose expressed dissatisfaction with the design and craftsmanship of the wedding attire, particularly focusing on Prince Indah’s outfit. She noted that Indah’s attire resembled that of a bishop or a Pope preparing for a coronation, commenting on his hands’ position and the overall look of his ensemble. She questioned whether the outfit was intended for a Catholic coronation, likening it to a Pope’s attire rather than a groom’s wedding outfit.
Diana also criticized the design of the tables at the event, suggesting that they appeared more suited to a Palm Sunday celebration or a church event. She further expressed disapproval of the bride’s dress, specifically pointing out the stockings on Winnie’s dress, which she felt were a fashion misstep. Diana claimed that the stockings made the dress look uneven, with two contrasting colors, which she thought diminished its elegance.
The criticisms didn’t stop with Diana alone. A friend of hers on the TikTok live stream echoed similar sentiments, noting that Winnie’s outfit seemed to combine elements from Nigerian and Indian fashion. They argued that the dress didn’t come together cohesively, particularly the corset, which they felt failed to serve its intended purpose.
However, the criticism faced by the couple did not go unchallenged. YouTuber and content creator Oga Obinna quickly came to the defense of Prince Indah and Winnie. He urged people to mind their own business when it came to others’ weddings, stating that everyone should have the freedom to wear whatever they wanted on their special day. Obinna pointed out that those criticizing the couple’s attire had not contributed to the wedding and were in no position to judge. He emphasized that fashion and personal choices should be respected and that people who wanted to express their opinions should recognize that not everyone shares the same tastes or preferences.
Prince Indah and Winnie’s wedding was a grand affair, with a rich display of color and culture. The event attracted a variety of high-profile guests, including Lang’ata MP Felix Oduor, also known as Jalang’o, and fashion designer Bolo Bespoke, who both served as groomsmen. The convoy of luxury SUVs accompanying Prince Indah to the bride’s home caused a major traffic snarl, which added to the excitement surrounding the celebration. Additionally, Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and Siaya Governor James Orengo made a grand entrance in a helicopter, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.
The couple’s daughter, Camara, captured attention with her charming pink outfit, looking every bit the princess at her parents’ wedding. Despite the criticisms from some, the wedding was still seen as a memorable and joyful celebration, filled with laughter, love, and plenty of attention-grabbing moments.
