BN Red Carpet Fab: Soundcity Music Video Awards 2009
Posted on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 at 2:46 pmBy Bella
The red carpet looks at the 2009 Soundcity Music Video Awards were immensely diverse.
Elegant, sexy, dapper and in some cases – just downright wrong!
Check out BN Red Carpet Fab picks from the 2009 SMVAs.

Rock Chics: Helen Ajayi Prest, her daughter and another SMVA guest chose the rock chic look. Black skinny pants, menswear elements (waistcoats, blazers and a tie). A fitting look for an awards show red carpet

Belles: Long sweeping dresses in a variety of colours and textures. We absolutely love the regal red asymmetrical evening dress while Tara's pink dress is very girly and sweet. Nollywood actress Ebube swayed from her usual red carpet minis and went with an elegant halter neck gown

Young and Trendy: The SMVAs is a musical awards show, therefore its very fitting that many of the guests including Kokolette Rekana were decked out in trendy, colourful minis

Black, White & Silver: There is something about black, white & silver that just stands out! TV presenter Adora Oleh looks great in her black and silver satin dress. Ohimai Atafo of MAI struts his designer stuff in one of his creations while one other guest rocks in a black & white striped mini

Volume, Frills and Puffs: These ladies went for the unconventional party dresses. Omowunmi was in a red puffball MAI creation, Goldie in a black dress with a bustier top and layered frilled bottom and our other guest in a frilled silver dress with gathered volume skirt

Red Rock: Red is a very tricky colour to rock because it be hit or miss! Most guys would shy away from red and white but Nnadi Richard rocks it. Zeal shows off her post baby figure in a fitted red strapless fishtail dress. Isio dons one of her favorite styles - a floaty white chiffon dress with red sequin accents.

Shiny: For J Martins, Steve BabaEko & ID Cabasa, they wanted to add some pizzazz to their blazers and suit. They did just that buy choosing metallic hued looks

Pink Ladies: Girly pink is always a female fave on the red carpet. These ladies show off 3 ways to rock it

Kaftan: In recent BN Red Carpet Fab features, we have seen a rise in the men rocking kaftans. It seems Don Jazzy is leading the way in his signature embellished kaftan. Shank and the other SMVA guest also join the train and rock the trend well

Metallic: Metallic hues were also popular among the ladies. As guests including Yvonne Ekwere (Vixen of STV) braved this scene stealing trend

3 ways to black out: Black was in full effect on the SMVA red carpet as Munachi Abii and Rukki Sanda show in thier red carpet frocks

The Black Suit: Noble Igwe, Matthew Mensah and MI show that when you stick with the classics, you are unlikely to have a misstep. This trio all look good in their classic black suits!

Hello Yellow: Yellow is only for the daring who want to stand out. MBGN World Glory Chukwu, designer Ugonna Omeruo and our other yellow lady do just that

Ankara & Print: The print is in full effect as singer Omawumi, The Beat FM & BN's Ife Komolafe and MBGN Tourism 2009 show off their contemporary looks created with Dutch Wax fabric

Sari: Over the last few years, the sari has become a red carpet staple in Nigeria ever since it was pioneered by red carpet mavens - Nike Osinowo & Nkiru Anumudu. SMVA guests including Linda Ikeji rocked the trend in a variety of colours

Pearls: Diamonds are forever but pearls make a lady! SMVA red carpet fashionistas including Freda Edewor-Francis complement their looks with pearls

Menswear with a twist: Banky W, D'banj & Uti Nwachukwu decided to put their own spin on their menswear looks. Banky W in the velvet jacket and kangol hat, D'Banj in the grey blazer, white tee and sunglasses while Uti was all stripes and spots in his white striped hat, striped blazer and white trousers.

Wild & Wacky! We just love when people decide to throw caution to the wind and rock the wackiest and most zany outfit they can put togather! That is exactly what Denrele and these 2 ladies did!
Who was HOT and who was NOT?

Why is that Noble Dude everywhere?
why does omowunmi always wear clothes that are too small for her? hmm i really wonder if some of these people looked in the mirror before leaving their houses!
Correct! Munachi looks awesome. I’m totally loving the creative use of a gold ribbon and that outfit. But the deal closer has to be her shoes. It doesn’t get sexier ladies…Except maybe, Toni Braxton barely there outfit.
Los Angeles,CA
I beg that Munachi should go and sit down. Jumpy! jumpy!. The outfit is HORRIBLE. I mean the Belt? The dress has no fitting, Earings r out of place, she needs classes. Has no sense of syle at all. Very dissapointing, i once tot she was cute, but she is fast looking like a “ho”. Sorry
Get out oh!, come which kkain talk be that sef!, Wotz ur own with munachi, free the babe joh!, she has won the peagant already!!, oya you comot dress make we see wether you wey dey talk get sense of style.ppsheewww!!!…
LIKE DUHHH–because you touched her hair on the DAY you had the chance to, does not mean that she does not wear weaves–Helen is a notorious purveyor of EXPENSIVE hair pieces.as is sooooo many naija women.
PLEASE DON’T BE FOOLED…
Naija 1! We sabi fashion well well. No other country can compete with us and that’s the truth. We know how to just put our outfits/attire/materials together. Very nice!!!
@zimsponono! u are damn rite!
i was thinkin dsame abt the whole silver jacket thing? it just sucks!
nigerians knowhow to abuse fashion alot!
and geeeezzzz y’ll chicas should go lose som weight befr u put short dresses!!! y’ll look like baloons!
and is dat miss tourism???? gawshh she looks really random and tacky as hell! wot a disgrace. all i see is too much effort on this red carpet, and tackyness.
Hmmm….Denrele’s outfit…Na wa oooooo! I’m speechless!
Munachi looks hawt!…………..gbogbo bigs girlz!!!!!!……lol
sun shade enter naija, my God even for night
E be like sey the moon light is too bright for their eyes…lol
Oh my brothers and sisters need to understand that sometimes less is more. There’s nothing worse than these social butterflies who have obviously put a great deal of effort (and money) into their red carpet looks but still manage to look unsophisticated and ‘new money’.
My thoughts are:
1. Age appropriate clothing goes a long way
2. Sunglasses at night works for disgraced public figures and rappers
3. The light skin and black knees look is not sexy
4. Mitchy-matchy shoes, belts and clutches look tacky
5. Leave blond weaves to the Jamaicans (and those super long nails)
6. Silver suiting is not for everyone
7. Pedicures are a MUST for any red carpet appearance
8. Firm thighs = short dress
9. Bodywear goes a long way (Spanx is every woman’s saviour)
10.A true fashionista always looks effortlessly chic
hey! i have light skin and brown knees.
so are you saying i must bleach my knees in order for me look sexy?
im going to wear my brown knees in pride!!
RUBBISH!
i disagree with the word tacky, i may not be the in thing right now but it is noooooooooooo where near tacky
@ ZimSponono….so we must to match bag and belt and shoes!!!and thos with dark knees should go and bleach them!!
Random folks claiming to know about fashion!!
