My Polynesian Heart Is Bursting With Pride After Seeing Drew Afualo’s Outfit At The “Black Adam” Premiere

In case you haven’t heard of her, Drew Afualo is a Samoan TikToker with nearly 8 million followers. She’s famous for shutting down sexist trolls and standing up for women — all with an awesome sense of humor.

“I had a custom dress made by a Samoan woman @nancyelizabethxo,” she wrote. “My glam was done by a Samoan HMUA @adamlesimmons, AND I got to walk w my Samoan boyfriend @billythekidd_. WE OUT HERE BABY.”

I’m obsessed with Drew’s gorgeous dress with a tapa corset — this cloth is made from bark and deeply significant in Polynesian cultures. Her boyfriend, Pili, wore an ula fala (the red necklace) and an ie faitaga, which is often worn by men to formal events.

Drew and her man representing Samoa at the premiere of a major movie — starring a Samoan actor, no less?! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!! Cheers to more Polynesian representation in Hollywood!
