Every individual has their unique fashion sense that makes them look stunning and feel both comfortable and confident. However, in the realm of celebrity fashion, some choices can seem perplexing.
Ghanaian celebrities, in particular, have been noted for embracing unusual fashion choices, ranging from street style to red carpet appearances. These distinctive styles have become their trademarks, evident through their consistent use.
The year 2023 continued to showcase these celebrities flaunting unconventional outfits at various events, social media, and red carpets. While the public usually expects celebrities to dazzle on the red carpet or exhibit elegance on social media, a specific group of celebrities has adopted a non-traditional fashion approach that often garners mixed reactions.
These fashion statements, whether self-styled or crafted by designers, represent a significant investment in creating these unique looks.
These are the Ghanaian celebrities of 2023 who have the most peculiar appearances.
BLark Sherif
Some call it street fashion, but to many, it is one of the rarest styles to ever debut in the showbiz industry.
All through the year, the Ghanaian musician hasn’t only been consistent with making huge strides but also with his unusual wardrobe that has got many fans talking.
The ‘Kweku the Traveler’ hitmaker has a simple yet sophisticated sense of fashion which many have described as weird.

He frequently exudes ‘retro’ vibes, often donning bootcut jeans paired with either a slim-fitting long-sleeved shirt or a matching tee.
Despite Black Sherif’s slender physique, he effortlessly embraces both fitted and loose-fitting outfits.
The standout moment of the year was Blacko’s ‘Kankurang’-infused costume, prominently featured during his concert in Gambia.
Cheddar
Despite being regarded as one of the wealthiest individuals in Ghana, Cheddar consistently captures attention with his distinctive attire.
Throughout 2023, Cheddar has been frequently photographed wearing outfits reminiscent of military regalia, and on other occasions, he adopts fits inspired by a ‘crown prince’ aesthetic.
Resembling an army general, the military-inspired ensemble typically consists of a two-piece with a sash and a beret.
Adding to the flair, the outfit features numerous badges, and the Ghanaian ‘Coat of Arms’ is prominently embroidered on specific parts.
Cheddar’s outfits, though undoubtedly expensive, generate considerable discussion, especially when he makes a grand entrance at events.
However, criticism arises, particularly in the case of the military-inspired attire, with some expressing disapproval for what they perceive as a lack of respect for the country’s coat of arms and military office.

What started as child’s play or ‘madness’ as some see it has finally transformed into a trend and signature in the Ghanaian fashion industry.
The C.E.O of Zaraboutique, Richard Brown popularly known as ‘Zaraman’ has each year, made weird fashion choices and 2023 is no exception.
His weird and sophisticated fashion sense is one of a kind. For instance, his infamous ‘skirts’ have now become popular in Ghana.

DJ Azonto
DJ Azonto, a Ghanaian Amapiano musician, popularly known for his hit single, ‘Fa Ne Fom, is well noted for his controversial choice of rocking womenswear, a development that has since not been acknowledged in this part of the country.
