Timeless, Classy … Gene

BY OYINDAMOLA LAWAL

  Genevieve Nnaji, the ‘Julia Roberts of Africa’ as stated by CNN, is no doubt an epitome of beauty and brain. With her latest movie ‘Mirror Boy’ premiered in London and her appearance on CNN and Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief event in April, the Nollywood actress has up her ante.

  The Face of MUD and the brain behind ST. Genevieve has over the years defined her style as simple, sophisticated and classy. According to her, “style is personality. It is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Simply put, style is the real you.”

Grecian-inspired plait

Genevieve was spotted recently in a trendy Grecian-inspired plait and a stunning outfit dress

Rock it well

Gene definitely knows how to put different trends together. She recently graced a red carpet event in a gorgeous jewel toned dress. The screen goddess also did the impossible by mixing teal and nude together. One would have thought the two colours would not go perfectly, but Gene mixed them and they matched well.

Neutral colours

One of the colours that perfectly suit Genevieve is neutral. With a gold detail on the waist and a semi-plunging neckline, she can never go wrong.

Casual, yet sexy

 Her birthday casual look was glamorous. She tried hard to look like a ‘birthday girl’ yet appeared sexy.

Hourglass figure

Gene’s hourglass figure gives her a sexy look. Her shape flatters any woman. If in doubt, look for clothes that nip in at the waist or draw attention to that area.

Simpler can be better

The simplest outfits are often the best. Gene‘s look is appreciated not for the clothes a lone, but because of the personalities wearing them.

   Sometimes, it’s nice to keep your outfit simple. It offers you the chance to leave lasting impression on the scene.

Be yourself, be authentic

As cliched as it may sound; to be elegant, you have to be authentic. You don’t have to workout yourself to look glamorous; from Genevieve’s make-up to her outfit and accessories, she always make a bold fashion statement.

 

Quality

Quality is essential to elegance. Aim for it. Going for quality products is not being extravagant, for they last long and may end up being cheaper. The rule of thumb for shopping for elegant dresses is to stick to quality stuffs and to buy only what you love. Genevieve’s favourite designers are Christian Louboutin, Jidz, Zed eye, Jewel by Lisa and Lulu Frost.
