BN Red Carpet Fab: Temple Muse Christmas Event
Posted on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 9:47 amBy Bella
It’s been a little while since we’ve hit the red carpet for a dose of BN Red Carpet Fab! This time, it was the black carpet at the Temple Muse event held in Lagos on Saturday 21st November 2009. Temple Muse is a Lagos-based luxury retailer which stocks Nigerian brands including Jewel by Lisa, Ituen Basi, Samantha Cole, Zebra and various international brands including Melissa Odabash.
It was all about casual chic at this event which was sponsored by Moet and Quintessentially.
Check out photos below.
We’ll start with our fave looks.
Sike Idowu gets out stamp of approval for this outfit! We really love how she combined the western look of the skinny jeans, tank top and ballet flats with a pop of Africa in the form of a Jewel by Lisa jacket. The jacket was made using a fabric from the Vlisco Urban Beat collection. Her clutch and sunnies seal the deal!

While most went for the casual chic look, Elohor Isiohor went for daytime glam in this pretty grey dress similar to the cashmere-blend Carmontelle Peplum Dress from Victoria Beckham’s latest collection. She teamed the dress with a black Hermès Birkin, pearls and Louboutin pumps.

We pray we look this great when we are in our 60s. Dr. Doyin Abiola looks absolutely amazing in her summary yellow top and beige trousers. She was at the event with daughter Doyin who looked great as well.

Nkechi Okocha looked great in her all black ensemble. We love the mix of demure and rock n roll. Her distressed black skinnies give her look an edge while her frilled top, simple bob hairstyle with an aliceband add a girly touch.

Nike Oshinowo-Soleye is simply fab in this wrapdress paired with metallic heels and a black clutch. Classic!

Nneka- what is your email o pls!
are you sure those are Louboutin pumps? I have never seen or had any with a tan/yellow insole, especially in that style (all of the prive and very prive pumps have a black or red insole, except for the two toned slingbacks that are gold). those must be something exclusive, lol! http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/templates/EntrySC.jhtml?itemId=cat5130731&parentId=cat000226&masterId=cat000149&cmCat=&view=superall&page=3&filter1Type=&filter1Value=&filter2Type=&filter2Value=&filterOverride=&sort=&altFilter=
They were made for selfridges (London)100 yrs anniversary. I saw it in Elle magazine in July. They only made 18 or 21pairs. Nike looks HOTTTTTT
@ miss huggs….http://stylecult.blogspot.com/2009/05/selfridges-celebrates-100-years.html
@Istidele….for real???any particular shop??…should check them out when next i’m in the UK o!!!
saw loads of sequined ankara fabric [6 yds unsewn] @ liverpool street market.
9jerians are fabolous, end of discussion!!
RIP Hermes Birkin and Kelly. You were once oh so exclusive. Now you’re at every Lagos party. There was the Sex and The City episode. And the mythical waiting list. What a shame.
What’s a shame about more people being able to afford those luxury goods? Don’t know why people cringe when many more people have the same things they thought only they could have.
so it is a shame that Nigerian women are carrying those bags?
are you for real?
only SJP and co are entitled to carry them?
KK – stop putting words in my mouth. That’s not what I said.
I didn’t say it’s not okay for Nigerian women to be carrying them. I mean that it’s sad that pretty much ANY and EVERY one has them these days. It’s even sadder that most of them are fakes.
Ideally, Hermes Birkins and Kellys were meant to be super exclusive – A listers, billionaire wives, top high society women etc and not a 20/30-something random person.I have seen Nkiru and Nike with them and it looks right on them….but not on Eloho or Bola. I know it’s politically incorrect to think such, but that’s my view….
On behalf of all “random 20/30-somethings”,I really want to scratch your eyes out for this comment……But you are right sweetie. Blame societal pressure.
This is my dream bag and when i see women like Bola, Eloho,Nike,Esosa Anenih and many more i respect them. Hermes is a CLASSIC bag. Its been in Vogue for over 40yrs compare to your regular chole paddigton, stam or spy bag. Its better for you to save your money and buy 1birkin bag than buy two of these bags that are the same amt.
I want one for my 30th birthday…. till then i would keep dreaming of it..lol
Stop beefing ok..lol
Hear, hear Proenza…. hear, hear!
Nice. I like the concept, it is classy. Tres chic.
Please does anyone know what Nike Oshinowo does for a living? I remember her being winning The most beautiful girl in Nigeria Pageant years back…How does she stay fly on a constant..
please ladies, i get my hair from the same supplier as aunty funmi, the hair is high grade brazillian, the lady who supplies hand pics the hair. it is not any different just very high quality. if you want to buy contact me
give it up to my lady of style,Mrs Soleye.
When the history of style is written in this country, you place is assured.
