Malawi First Lady fashion gaffe -observers

Malawi First Lady Gertrude Mutharika was against the talking point on Wednesday for her sense of style.

The President’s wife was criticised for dressing like a character in a drama play when she put on her dark blue head gear, with many people commenting on social media that she “failed to kill it” but that she looked awful.

The First Lady dressing was during a commemoration of Democratic Progressive Party’s so called Liberation Celebration on the day on which President Peter Mutharika and other DPP leaders were  arrested for treason by the regime but charged dropped the Mutharika was elected President.

It’s not easy being a woman in the spotlight and the First Lady has many times attracted criticism for the style with last time being on her dark glasses as people said she was not on point.

On Wednesday Madam Mutharika was being slated for wearing the blue head gear which looked awful on her.

“The First Lady needs a stylist,” a post on Facebook read on Wednesday.

“She just doesn’t act and look likes a first lady,” one commented on Nyasa Times.

Observers say former first lady Callista Mutharika had good senses of fashion and with her gorgeous looking she was befitting for her title.

When he visited Maula Prison in Lilongwe where he donated assorted items, Mutharika said he understood the problems prisoners’ are facing as he has been to a prison before.

“I know what you are going through and it is not easy but I assure you that my government is doing all it can to help ease out some of these problems,” he said.

During the function, President Mutharika, and all the members who were arrested together with him; Goodall Gondwe, Kondwani Nankhumwa, Vuwa Kaunda, Hennry Mussa, Patricia Kaliati and Jean Kalilani received medals of honour.
