Away from every other thing about the maiden or inaugural edition of the AfricaMagic Viewers Choice Award 2013. It was the first ever edition of what should turn out to be one of the best thing to happen to movie and entertainment in Africa. Like someone said, this is our own OSCARS, so we all should support to get to the highest level. Nigeria should be commended for being the host of the first show. Though there were little technical hitches here and there, the organisers still delivered on all points. Kudos to them for a job well done.
We are sure this is one of the biggest events hosted in
Lagos, Nigeria for a while now. 1500 guests from all the different
sectors
came. The Federal Government was ably represented by the Ministers of
Petroleum Resources (Diezanni Allison-Madueke), For Culture &
Tourism (Chief Edem
Duke) & For Trade & Investments (Olusegun Aganga). Curiously the
host
state, Lagos was missing in action, no State Governor, and we didn't
hear of
any representatives.
Away from all of that and to how our stars, celebrities etc
did on the style stake. Not wanting to talk too much, some of these
stars/celebrities seem to have come to the understanding of their shapes,
sizes, body contours very well, so they always make sure to dress to accentuate
their best features. Style-wise, some seem to have a good understanding of the
number one rule of fashion and watchword; Simplicity, while others still need
to go to school to learn or something. When you try to do too much or take on
what's not your forte, you just go terribly wrong.
Let's just check out some of the one's we saw, Genevieve Nnaji, our ever gorgeous actress seem to define the word simplicity in every facet, either she's absolutely good by herself or her stylist must be very good. She first wore a simple well cut, white outfit that was made for her by one of Nigeria's fastest growing and most impressive designers in a while, Bridget Awosika. It was a sexy, yet very functional dress; which showed just a hint of the chest, without being vulgar. For her change of outfit, she wore what we have tagged as ''yellow like gold''. The colour seems to be one of the colours of the season and it takes the bold to wear it, as there's a thin line between getting it well and missing it. Never knew, Genny had such nice curves on such petite frame. Outfit was by April by Kunbi, a Nigerian label owned by New York trained Kunbi Oyelese.
