ASIDE her well-applauded competence on
screen, the A’list actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has proved to be a
fashionista and trendsetter.
It’s impossible to miss Omotola’s
irrepressible hourglass shape. Yeah, that’s the ideal shape every lady
craves. She’s known for choosing pieces that reflect her graceful frame.
As each day passes by, Omosexy (a name
coined by her aircraft pilot hubby) raises the bar of her fashion sense.
The mother of four loves clothes and is never afraid to take chances. She
deftly combines colours, textures and shapes to add élan to every outfit.
Known for adding a personal touch to
everything she wears, the actress boosts the dazzle factor at a recent event in
a red and black one-shoulder dress.
While Omotola certainly has access to pricey
designer’s clothes, she doesn't hesitate to experiment with edgier looks that
embrace her femininity.
Here’s her secrets
Show off your waist
Since hourglass shapes typically have well-defined
mid-area, drawing attention to your waist with a belt or a fitted top will
accentuate this great asset. Do not be afraid to show off your waist, even if
it’s small!
Embrace your curves
Without doubts, the pretty diva’s
figure is curvy, round and extremely feminine. If you are shaped like Omotola,
don’t hesitate to flaunt it — dress it up with the right accessories and
clothes. For those that don’t have very flat, tiny waist; you can accentuate
this area with spanx. Just like
Omosexy, wear clothes that fit properly, look stunning and radiate confidence.
Embrace your best assets and don't hide behind improperly fitting clothes.
Look sexy and free
Omotola knows how to ooze just the right degree
of appeal. Who says you cannot look queenly and sexy like her? Every lady
has her personal style. No two people have the same taste. You can achieve your
taste with your unique body type. Different body types are dressed in different
ways and styles to accentuate the most advantageous spots. But if you are
blessed with Omotola’s figure, you can consider yourself belonging to the
category that is usually the cynosure of men. For Omosexy says, “my style is
bold, sexy and free.”
Fit is king
One thing we know about this screen goddess
is that she likes fitted wears. She notes, “what's unique about my style is
it’s always form fitting.”
Coordinate your red carpet look
When it comes to looking glam on the red
carpet, Omotola most times work with fashion stylists to give her that wow
look. She discloses, “I would usually leave that to my stylist or designer, but
I usually do my own makeup.”
Quality is it
Omotola’s most expensive fashion pieces are
her Versace gold watch set in Swarovski diamonds and some Louboutin pairs of
shoes.
Big names rock
For designers, Omosexy goes for Bunmi
Koko, Sally Bawa, Valentino, Diane von Further, Alberta Ferretti and Mimi
London.
Love the details designer
“My favourite accessory designers would be
YSL, Brian Artwood and Louboutin,” Omotola says.
Make it up
Most times, even for her red carpet look,
Omotola does her makeup herself. Her favourite beauty make up is Mac Studio
finish concealer.
Smell nice
For scents, Omosexy’s favourite is Flower by
Kenzo, Mauboussin and Burberry Brit Red.
Give your skin a treat
A lot of celebs have different beauty
routine and different secrets on how they keep their skin flawless. For
Omosexy, her most valuable beauty routine is massages.
Colour it red
Red they is considered most visible
and lively of all colours; it creates attraction and excitement. The wearer
naturally portrays an image of excitement, energy, enthusiasm and confidence.
Nonetheless, it also suggests an erotic feeling. Red is also associated with
vitality and ambition, love and passion. No wonder Omosexy’s favourite colour
is red… “I love red colour because I'm fierce.”
Get spanx
If you don't have a perfect body, get body
shaping undergarments such as spanx.
This flattens tummy bulges and gives user a gorgeous look.
Dress appropriately
Whether she is at home, work,
location, screen or red carpet, Omosexy always looks neat, trim and sexy. Even
if you think you are only going to the store nearby, it's not appropriate to go
out in public in your pajamas. According to ‘McCall’s sewing in colour’,
ill-fitting clothes lower your morale and make you less able to cope with
everyday trials. Instead, wear some skinny jeans, a cute top and a pair of
sandals. You never can tell, who is watching you and if you look good, you will
feel better about yourself.
Attitude is everything
If you have a bad attitude about your
look, then the look is not right for you. You should feel amazing in everything
you are wearing; otherwise you shouldn't be wearing it. Your clothes reflect
who you are on the inside.
Don’t be a fashion slave
Being fashionable means knowing what
works for you. Don’t always follow trends; for sometimes those styles are not
just made for your body type or personality.
