KUALA LUMPUR: Popular TV host-actress-entrepreneur Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor has once again pushed the boundaries of fashion in a local context through her latest head garb statement, this time taking a cue from Beyoncé.
The 28-year-old who is currently in Paris, France to attend an event donned a turban that was styled by Donia Allegue, the very same head wrap designer who beautifies the crown of American pop star Beyoncé.
The silk, twisted turban design was the handiwork of Allegue, a Tunisian millinery whose clientele also includes other A-list international celebrities such as Alicia Keys.
Beyoncé wore the same turban, styled identically with Neelofa’s, during her anniversary trip to Grand Canyon, last year.
Posting her look up on Instagram to share with her 5.5 million followers, Netizens as expected were not shy to share their thoughts on her unusual appearance.
Many likened the look to a towel wrapped on the head after a shower, while others thought Neelofa’s fashion sense was just getting ridiculous by the day.
An Instagram user said: “Apa benda Lofa ni pakai.. macam kuda laut ibu tengok..” (What are you wearing, you look like a seahorse).
But many had come to her defense as well and showed support for the celeb, claiming that she should be able to do what she pleases.
A follower said: “Just do what you want, and ignore people’s thoughts about you. You’re still my favourite.”
The post had quickly accumulated close to 74,000 views after only being uploaded 13 hours earlier.
