VAN VICKER & NADIA BUARI
Dateline-Lagos, Nigeria. June 23, 2012. It was tagged Cf 20 Style Night. Complete Magazine is arguably one of the best selling and most popular lifestyle magazines in Nigeria, and the celebration was for her 20th edition and 2nd year of her existence. |
The venue of the top class shindig was Civic Center, on Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos, across the 1004 Estate. Truth be told, it was a very well put together party. The invite had stated very clearly what the dress code should be, Black Tie outfit or glamorous, but like its typical of Nigerians never one to conform to instructions, many did their best to look outstandingly gorgeous, while some and many of them known people who should have known best were so flagrant in their disregard for the dress code, we love Nigerians own interpretations of what they think is Black-tie and glam, some of those interpretations were totally absurd. We saw a supposedly dapper dude wearing a too tight, 4-buttoned (gold buttons at that) Brown suit, which was just one out of the many absurd collections. But that didn’t in anyway taint the night.
Everyone who came, attested to the fact that it was very well attended and also that many tried their best to look great. We saw the now super trim Ramsay Noauh in his white tuxedo, looking quite dapper; we saw Ghanaian hearthrobs Van Vicker and Nadia Buari, though both looking cool, their dress sense is whack!
We saw Waje in her hot pink outfit, so also Annie Macaulay Idibia Tuface’s wife, Tonto Dikeh was also in attendance in that gold outfit with the double slit at the front, she’s lost so much weight, she came in with her stylist Toyin Lawani, Ohimai Atafo, the designer came in wearing plaid trousers and on top was his white jacket, looking very different. Eunice Efole, Tinsel’s Damilola Adegbite and ex- Miss Nigeria Ene Maya Lawani all wore beautiful black ensembles. Young Designer Ugonna Omeruo of the House of Nwocha, whose dress Damilola wore, came in wearing an all white outfit, Yvonne 'Vixen' Ekwerre came in wearing a stunner, that got many talking . There were so many guests in attendance, that it is impossible to mention them all. The First Lady of Lagos State- Dame Abimbola Fashola, was the Special Guest of Honor at the beautiful event.
We have the event for you in pictures. Enjoy!
