Award-winning gospel singer Piesie Esther has addressed why many female gospel artists in Ghana are opting for outfits that accentuate their curves.
In a recent discussion with radio host Nana Romeo on Accra FM, which was later highlighted by zionfelixdotcom on Instagram, Piesie Esther explained that this shift reflects a broader change in the times.
She noted that as the world evolves, it is essential to adapt to current trends rather than remain fixed in past styles.
She also mentioned her own understanding of fashion, pointing to how her past wardrobe choices demonstrate her grasp of evolving trends.
“The world is evolving. One of my daughters showed me an old picture I took back in the day. If I showed you that picture now and you saw the dress I was wearing, you would know that I like to dress well.
My father also liked dressing so his children followed in his footsteps. I understand fashion,” she said.
To add to her defense, she mentioned that she dresses to glorify God, who she said loves beautiful things.
“I have also realized that the God I serve likes beautiful things. Maybe the pastor didn’t say we shouldn’t wear nice outfits. Maybe he was talking about how revealing the dress is.
Sometimes, I wear certain outfits I do not feel comfortable in. It’s not intentional, but either I was in a rush or I never went for a fitting to check if the dress was okay or not.
It doesn’t mean that because [if] you’re a Christian, you shouldn’t also wear nice outfits. You have to see me to also glorify God’s name,” she added.
Her remarks followed a complaint from the outspoken man of God, Prophet Kofi Oduro, who was demanding answers to why some female gospel musicians wear sexual clothes.
