Reality TV star Uriel Oputa has opened up about why she believes she didn’t snag the Best Dressed Female title at the 2025 AMVCA Cultural Night—and her reason has fans talking.
Taking to social media, Uriel clarified that she wasn’t throwing shade at anyone’s outfit. “This is not to knock anyone’s design, everyone looked stunning,” she said, acknowledging the overall fashion excellence on display that night.
However, she didn’t shy away from making a bold claim:
“Let’s be honest, the only reason I didn’t win Best Dressed is because I wasn’t there on time.”
Uriel’s statement quickly sparked conversations online, with many agreeing that her outfit was one of the most eye-catching of the night—had she arrived earlier, the outcome might have been different.
The AMVCA Cultural Night has become one of the most anticipated fashion moments of the year, where celebrities celebrate African heritage through bold, vibrant, and often dramatic styles. Uriel’s look definitely made a statement, and she’s clearly confident it was worthy of top honors.
