Joy Villamade a statement on the red carpet at the 2019 DaytimeEmmy Awardson Sunday.
The 28-year-old singer, known primarily for making conservative political points with radical styles at award shows, arrived at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium wearing Desi Designs Couture gown festooned with silhouettes of storks carrying babies. The train of the skirt featured letters that spelled out: “Pro-life is pro-woman.”
Villa elaborated on her fashion choice in a post shared to Instagram Sunday night.
“I proudly wore my @desidesigns_couture dress DEDICATED to @savethestorks! A charity my husband and I financially support for only $35/month you can save the unborn and their mothers. Abortion is so often only spoken about as a ‘women’s right’ but I stand here to stand up for EVERY WOMAN and her right to life!”
In a post shared a short time later on Twitter, Villa spoke of being “pressured” into having an abortion while she herself was pregnant, but ultimately chose to place her daughter for adoption.
Villa previously wore a dress reading “Choose Life” — and decorated with a rainbow uterus — to the 2018 Grammys, and more recently in March attended the premiere of the anti-abortion filmUnplannedwearing a dress that reads “F—Planned Parenthood” —an organization that provides essential healthcare servicesfor low cost in at-risk communities and sexual education for underprivileged youths.
“Ok it was an INCREDIBLE night at the#DaytimeEmmys(my 1st!) but some of the photographers were yelling insults at me,” she wrote on Twitter. “Crazy right? One woman screamed “Joy! YOU ARE WRONG. PROLIFE IS NOT PROWOMAN!” This is the 2nd time photographers have tried to harass me on red carpet.”
“The oppression of conservatives in Hollywood is at an all time high,” she added. “Every voice deserves to be heard. No more censorship, no more liberal bullies.”
At the 2019 Grammys, Villa wore barbed wire, put stakes in her hair and carried a purse with PresidentDonald Trump’s“Make America Great Again” sloganto support his proposal for aborder wallbetween Mexico and the United States. Her dress featured the black outline of bricks.

“I believe in building the wall to protect our southern border,” Villa, 27, told theLos Angeles Timeson the Grammys red carpet on Sunday night in L.A. “Not to keep people out, but to protect the citizens of our country. I’m part Latina, I’m black and I believe in what the president’s saying. This to me is a representation of that.”
