Ghanaian actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown, known for her impeccable sense of style, recently caused a stir among her fans and fashion enthusiasts alike at the 2023 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) held on May 6, 2023. While some praised her red carpet look, a fraction of her followers were disappointed, alleging that her outfit was a complete replica of Lady Gaga’s iconic Versace corset gown worn at the 2023 Oscars.
With over 4 million followers on Instagram, Nana Ama McBrown is considered one of the top style icons in Ghana. She is known for collaborating with a talented team of fashion designers and stylists who work tirelessly to dress her in unique and breathtaking outfits. However, her choice of attire at the VGMAs left some fans questioning her fashion authenticity.

Upon further investigation by Ghnewsbuzz.com, it was discovered that Nana Ama McBrown’s dress bore a striking resemblance to the stunning see-through Versace corset gown worn by Lady Gaga. The original gown featured a floor-length, long-sleeved design with a sheer corset bodice, a voluminous skirt, and a crystal-encrusted belt accentuating the hips. Lady Gaga complemented the ensemble with glossy red lipstick, smokey eyes, and exquisite Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including a 1950s platinum and diamond necklace.
Nana Ama McBrown’s fashion designer, Esi Asare Addison, who also happens to work as a nurse, has been praised for her previous creations, including Efia Odo’s elegant church dress that recently won her GH¢5,000 from a fan on Instagram. However, this time, her design approach has been met with criticism.
Speaking with an anonymous fashion expert in an exclusive interview, it was revealed that there is an unspoken fashion rule among designers when taking inspiration from others. The expert stated, “It is a fashion rule for designers to change 10 things about a look by another designer if they want to take style inspiration from them. The original creative team spent time and lots of resources to create that unique design. In the case of Nana Ama McBrown’s red carpet look, the stylist is very talented but not creative. He didn’t follow the fashion rule and just sketched the same thing for the fashion designer to sew. The team should acknowledge the original owner of the design.”

This incident brings to light a larger issue in the fashion industry, where originality and creativity are highly valued. Ghanaian fashion designer Duaba Serwaa, known for her origami-style creations, has also experienced a similar situation. Another designer has taken inspiration from her work, resulting in noticeable similarities on the red carpet.
As Nana Ama McBrown continues to captivate audiences with her style choices, it remains to be seen whether she will address the allegations of replicating Lady Gaga’s Versace gown. Fans and fashion enthusiasts are eager to witness how this controversy unfolds and if it will influence future fashion collaborations for the Ghanaian actress and media personality.
