The ceremony saw loads of fashionista celebrities in attendance and Berbie's looks stood out for obvious reasons. Although the style received mixed reactions online, it did little to stop the numerous recreations that followed.

Several months after Berbie Doll debuted the look, social media has witnessed several fashionistas rocking this daring look.

However, the constant recreation of this look has done little to deter fashion lovers from jumping on the style trend.

Lady receives backlash over asoebi style

Social media users have been buzzing with reactions over a video of a lady whose asoebi dress revealed a little too much for their liking.

For most ladies, ensuring they look stunning and cause that head-turning effect at weddings with their asoebi style, is something they put in the effort to see become a reality.

However, what was meant to be yet another attempt to slay for a beautiful lady went south when a video of her asoebi look surfaced on social media.
