Glam it simple

BY OYINDAMOLA LAWAL
ONE misconception often associated with the red carpet is that it is an opportunity to dig holes in one’s pocket. This is very wrong.
A simple piece can give you that radiant, youthful and sexy look.
You don’t need to go bankrupt to grace the red carpet; all you need do is opt for the right accessories to enhance your outfit. You will not only be guaranteed a high profile look, but also given the desired confidence.
  Our photographers, CHARLES OKOLO and MOSCOTECH, captured celebrities that were able to make bold fashion statements in simple outfits.
The day’s fashion were mostly over-the-top aura, sequins, fancy embellishment, bold colours, hair piece, jumpsuits and maxi, and others.
