STYLE RECAP: ASSOCIATION OF MOVIE PRACTITIONERS CELEBRATES NOLLYWOOD AT 20

Spread the love
Beverly Naya
The celebration of Nollywood at 20 held at Intercontinental
Hotel in Lagos recently. LOT to learn about how to get it right
on the red carpet. You see, a Genevieve Nnaji or a Stephanie Linus will have a
stylist or designer dress her for a red carpet show or any major outing, but a Yollywood actress will just dive into
her wardrobe, or hit a Boutique and shop off the rack. In other words, anything goes.

Expectations were quite high and fashion followers expected
it to be another Nigerian version of the Oscars, or at least a mini-Oscars; where
celebrities will turn out en mass and wow with their choice of outfit.
 Only a few did, and we can count them on one finger. But one point that
was glaring and screaming at the event was that, the Yoruba arm of Nollywood,
(which I have coined Yollywood)
have quite A

Let’s take another look at how the stars fared in their
hair/makeup, outfit and posture, and hope those that missed it get it right
next time.
BEVERLY NAYA
Beverly looks
awesome! The style and C-cut of the dress are a perfect fit for her and her
skin tone looks great under black. I also adore her gold cross earrings, gold
pointy heels and gold bracelet. Also love that she chose to rock braids as
against the conventional Brazilian weave.

CLARION CHUKWURA
Clarion’s black dress looks good and is also age appropriate
for her, the only thing I have against it is the red patches, which totally
spoil the dress’ look and make it look immature.

DORIS SIMEON
Doris’s dress is just ok, only it is
not sitting too well on her. It also looks badly tailored. I am also not
too fond of the idea of the matching bag and shoe.

shoes. And well, her posture.

Her dress has too much going on. It would have looked a bit
better if the top were plain and not animal print.

IBINABO FIBERESIMA
Love, love, love Ibinabo’s dress! She is really proving that
she has spent time the industry and knows what it take to get it right on the
red carpet. If only she had gotten her hair right…..plus we also see a tiny
tummy bulge.

IYABO OJO
Iyabo surprised me with her look this time. For a Yollywooder, this look is a great
improvement on her previous outings, though her outfit is not quite red carpet
appropriate but it is well composed and looks great, plus her shoes rock. And
her makeup is also well co-ordinated. Unlike the Iyabo we are used to.

 LIZ ANJORIN
Another yollywooder
that has a few lessons to learn. Liz’s dress has way too much going on and why
on earth would she wear a chunky necklace on a heavily embroidered dress?

MARY URANTA
An upcoming actress who still has a lot to learn from her
predecessors. That jumpsuit is an outfit I will wear to visit a friend, and
definitely not to a red carpet show. Give it a year or two; we expect to see an
improvement.

TOYIN TOMATO (SOLA
SOBOWALE)
I am really delighted to see Aunty Sola, wonderful actress,
one of the best in the industry, both English and Yoruba. I really love her,
but I am sorry, her outfit is a NO! It simply looks like a wrapper that was
slung over the shoulder. It does nothing for her and the visible lining makes
matters worse. The dress also seems too loose and looks like it could fall off
at any moment.

Queen of the runway and red carpet. Her experience in the
industry must have taught her a lot and it is paying off. Go Mrs. Linus!

And the winner of this episode of style recap is…. Looks
like we have a tie between Beverly and Genevieve. If we were going by just the
outfit, Ibinabo would have been the winner, but hair, makeup and posture also
matter a lot, and these were the areas that marked her down.
Now between Beverly
and Genny… I’ll go with Beverly. Keep it up darl!
