Gorilla Glue out! Elegance in!
"Gorilla Glue girl" Tessica Brown, who went viral after using the permanent adhesive as hairspray and then could not wash it out of her scalp, got fitted for an award show looking stunning in a white lace gown.
The 40-year-old from Violet, Louisiana was having her very own Cinderella moment at the Pol’ Atteu Beverly Hills boutique which doubles as the backdrop for the TV series, Gown and Out in Beverly Hills, on Amazon Prime Video.
Brown is set to receive the Citizen of Courage award at the Hollywood African Prestigious Awards, set to take place late this month.
Beverly Hills surgeon Dr Michael Obeng, who performed the infamous removal of the Gorilla Glue from Tessica's scalp, joined the TikTok sensation at the fitting. Alongside his patient, Obeng is set to receive the International Man of the Year award at the same event.
As OK! previously reported, the LA based doctor offered up his services to perform the removal surgery, which typically costs about $12K for free after hearing of Brown's sticky situation.
Following the procedure, Tessica's manager Gina Rodriguez spilled Obeng was able to "remove all of the Gorilla Glue out of her hair" and that her "scalp is extremely sensitive right now and will need some time to recover."
