For many, the red Oscar rug is the only chance to show yourself in front of cameras around the world. Some of the smaller stars use this moment to shine with the body, others – to convey something important. This second group this year belongs to the Swedish-Nigerian singer Kayo Shekoni.
Oscars 2025. Political message on the shoe
Kayo Shekoni is a Swedish-Nigerian singer and actress, and in recent years she sits behind the juror table “Drag Rage Sverige”. The singer decided to refer to her Nigerian roots in the dress and African in the message on the red carpet. The organizers generally reluctantly look at the stars with direct political statements, but Shekoni hid her in … a shoe.
The singer on the red carpet turned her back to the photojournalists, raised her leg and presented the sole of the shoe. There was an inscription repeated twice on it in gold letters “Free Congo Free Congo” -” Free Congo. “
This year’s Oscars take place in the shadow of the second presidency of Donald Trump. Despite the shocks that pass over the world, the few actors focused on ostentatious political declarations on the red carpet. Hollywood experts also predict that we will hear many references to politics from their mouth when they will receive their statuettes. “Be quiet, do your job, provide people with entertainment. And close yourself” – said Gabriel Basso, playing in the film “Elegy for Bidoks” in the current US Vice President Jd Vance.
