Ghanaian red carpet fashion critic Charlie Dior has claimed that celebrities such as Kuami Eugene, Diana Asamoah, and Nana Akua Addo have significantly improved their fashion sense as a result of his criticisms.
In an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM on December 5, 2024, Charlie Dior was asked what comes to mind when people call him out on social media to which he responded:
“My criticism has made a lot of people improve their fashion, whether they admit it or not. I get a lot of feedback from fashion designers who say I’ve put pressure on them, and that the designs they bring forward have improved as a result.
“I see the changes, especially on the red carpet and in public appearances, there’s no denying my influence. I don’t want to mention names, but I can say that Diana Asamoah has really taken my criticism to heart. She’s still using one of my viral videos, ‘Slay for Christ,’ and now she’s looking fashionable, big shoutout to her!
“As for Nana Akua Addo, the best-looking fashionable lady in Ghana, she knows about me and takes my critique seriously. She’s mentioned me before, referenced me, so I definitely see my influence there,” he stated.
He continued, “Kuami Eugene unfollowed me when he saw an old video of me criticizing him. I admit, I was very hard on him in the beginning. I once compared his suit to a couch, and I’m not going to lie, it was tough. But when I’m hard on someone, it’s usually because I see potential in them. I’m a big fan of Kuami Eugene, and I would give him the ‘Most Improved’ award. In the beginning, it was that bad, but now he’s finding his style.”
“Kuami Eugene himself admitted that in the early stages of his career, he didn’t want to invest too much in his looks because, honestly, looking good costs money. People spend a lot to look good, and he wasn’t ready for that. But now, he’s figuring things out, finding his style, and he’s still very young. With time, I’m sure he’ll continue to evolve.”
He reiterated his impact on the fashion industry in Ghana.
“Right now, when Ghanaians hear the name Charlie Dior, everyone knows I’m a fashion critic. If you’re being honest with yourselves, I hear from celebrities all the time. I go out and see them frequently, and I get feedback like, ‘Should I wear this so that Charlie Dior will have something to say about it?’” she added.
