Omah Lay is a very gifted singer, level-headed and artistic but many haven’t really thought of him as a fashion influencer. He has a non-imposing stature in the music scene but his fans are well aware of his creativity- mostly seen from his studio work. In fact, Omah Lay is more synonymous with depression than fashion. Even his music has been dubbed “Afrodepression.” He proved everyone wrong lately when he appeared at the Paris Fashion Week with curly permed hair.
Permed hair has returned and there is no other place to broadcast it than on a celebrity. A fashion-forward singer, Omah Lay is not a conscious fashion buff but his aura asserts softness that’s associated with female energy. No wonder he was quickly tagged “gay” by trolls. Also, Omah Lay brought back the George Michael vibe with his new look.
In the 1980s, English singer George Michael was both a pop and a style icon, captivating audiences worldwide with his signature long, flowing, and wavy locks. His hair became an emblem of rebellion, freedom, and individuality, resonating with fans across the globe.
Omah Lay’s hairstyle is largely influenced by this 80s trend and the artist seemed very comfortable in the style despite its oddity against his bearded face.Omah Lay gained international prominence with his singles “Understand,” “Attention,” and “Soso”. He has won numerous awards including Headies in 2020 and 2023.
