Grammys 2019: Trump supporter Joy Villa wears 'build the wall' themed dress on red carpet

Joy Villa arrived at the Grammys red carpet wearing a pro-Donald Trump statement dress.

The singer donned a silver US border-wall inspired dress designed by Designers Allinger of Desi Designs with “Build the Wall” emblazoned on the back and a matching spiky headpiece.

Villa completed the political look with a red handbag bearing President Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”.

The look was met with surprise on social media.

“What a disrespectful dress,” one person tweeted in response to the singer’s outfit choice.

This is not the first time the American singer has decided to use the Grammys as a platform for her political statements.

Last year, Villa wore a pro-life gown decorated with a foetus and a “choose life” handbag.

In 2017, she also used the red carpet to show her support for President Trump, with a red, white, and blue “Make America Great Again” dress.

The singer was not alone in making a political statement with her outfit.

Singer Ricky Rebel donned a pro-Trump Jacket for the 61st annual awards show, which has ”Keep America Great” written on it.
