Kenyan actress Wanjiku Stephens has joined a chorus of voices on social media, urging comedian Elsa Majimbo to consider dressing more modestly.
Stephens's comments came after Majimbo posted images of herself in a highly revealing outfit, sparking a widespread debate online.
The Controversial Outfit
The photos, which Majimbo captioned with "I was walking in Beverly Hills yesterday when I realized a man in a black bmw was photographing me. These are the pics he sent. My street style is 10/10 damn," were taken in Beverly Hills.

In them, she is seen walking down a street wearing a long, crimson-red dress. The garment is made of a sheer, see-through fabric that reveals her body and undergarments beneath.
Majimbo paired the dress with white earbuds and a small handbag. The post went viral, quickly amassing tens of thousands of likes, but also drawing significant criticism.
A Plea for Decency
Among the many comments, a plea from fellow Kenyan Wanjiku Stephens stood out. Stephens, best known for her role in the TV series Maria, offered a gentle but firm rebuke.
She suggested that Majimbo doesn't need to resort to such provocative dressing to be loved and celebrated.
"I know it’s Your body your choice girl but imagine we will still love you when fully dressed,” she commented.
Stephens's message echoed sentiments from many other users, including those who expressed concern that Majimbo might be straying from the relatable, chip-eating persona that first made her famous during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other users were more direct in their criticism. One comment stated, "The work of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy." Another user simply wrote, "Girl to girl. This ain't it Gurl."

This latest post has reignited the conversation around her public persona and artistic choices, with many fans and critics weighing in on her evolving image.
The contrast between her initial relatable image and her current provocative one is a central theme in the online discussion.
