The world premiere of two major Nollywood movies was definitely enough motivation for Nigeria’s top movie stars to get glammed up for the festive occasion.
On Monday, BellaNaija.com gave you all the exclusive scoop from the premiere of “Bursting Out” and “Holding Hope” and shift our focus to style as we have a close look at “who wore what”.
Here is BN Red Carpet Fab – The World Premiere of “Bursting Out” & “Holding Hope” Edition.

Special Thanks to Niyi Tabiti | Nollywood Uncut | Stella Dimoko Korkus | Kola Oshalusi | Tyna Ezenma for the photos – Click names to visit their sites.

Everyone is buzzing about Uche Jombo‘s new hair cut and we totally love it! Uche’s new look accentuates her gorgeous facial features perfectly. Uche rocked a dazzling ombre blue dress that transitioned from electric to icy blue – the dress had a sexy low cut back with criss-cross straps showing off Uche’s toned back. Fab!

Go Steph! Stephanie Okereke made a stunning style mark on the red carpet in this single strap ruffled satin dress with a waterfall detail down one side from UK store Karen Millen. Her trendy new hairdo and her gold accessories completed the look.

Susan Peters were literally glowing on the red carpet. Susan went for the glamorous movie star look and she totally nailed it in her long evening down,  cascading wavy hair and blinged out accessories.

Nadia Buari is one of the stars of “Holding Hope” and she totally stood out at the premiere in a ravishing red mini dress. We love the different textures of the dress from the ruffled detail to the wide leather belt. Its great that she kept her hair and accessories simple.

Monalisa Chinda brought a breezy island vibe to the red carpet  in a strapless purple maxi dress with a flower motif. She accessorized with a bedazzled necklace and a flower hair piece.

Genevieve Nnaji‘s look of the season appears to be city chic and she does it so well! This time, Gene rocked a short black silk dress  with a tulip hemline. She paired the dress with a statement necklace, black platform pumps and jade green Chanel pillbox clutch.

Grey suit, pink shirt,  mysterious smile – Majid Michel!

    • ChyChy August 11, 2010 at 5:38 PM

      You see, 2 guys wore the same color of shoes and one turned out looking like a clown. Mai looks well turned out as usual…Chidi Mokeme must u disgrace us with ur matchy match everytime?
      Absolutely everyone(except Desmond, I comment my reserve) looks like they prepared themselves well…They must be taking criticism constructively. Uche Jumbo u look 10 years younger and soo gorgeous…that smile is like 1000watts!!I totally love Uche Iwuji’s look…mot traditional…Genny ur dress is tres awesome, though another color wld have made it more stupendous!!
      Mona Lisa there is just ‘something’ about ur hair all the time….
      Stella Damasus looks tired
      Genny…please lace wig wearers take lessons from her lol
      Nadia Buari looks soo charming and innocent.
      I love Stephanie’s look….the only thing is that has anyone noticed how a lot of ladies are channeling Rihanna these days…..

    • deedoubleU August 11, 2010 at 6:02 PM

      What is wrong with Desmond Elliot.. like serious who told you to dress like that…Wow..i’m speechless.. loosen your button, get a waistcoat that is your size 4 next time..please abeg!#thanksinadvance
      The men were looking very GQ Majid (dude is foooine) Mai Atafo, iLike.. Chidi Mokeme.. very sartorialist..
      Geneivive,Ebube, Nadia, Edu, Omoni.. nice dress and shoes….
      steph.. nice but too matchy matchy.. Lola Maja, very casual…
      Portia(wrong belt) & uche (leather in 2010, babes but why?) *blank stare*.. The rest need to go home and fire their stylist and stop having bad friends… lol

    • Myne Whitman August 11, 2010 at 6:08 PM

      Stella looks tired, what’s up babe?

      Am I the only one who doesn’t like the look of Genny’s lace front? Hmmm

      Lovely styles, esp the ladies. The men, not so sure…

    • mee August 11, 2010 at 6:12 PM

      Abeg person sabi give me that Joseph Benjamin’s number? See fine boy.

      • dele September 3, 2010 at 5:40 PM

        na wa for you o, i have my eyes on him already,back off sis

    • Ada August 11, 2010 at 6:23 PM

      i have had my eyes on Steph`s KM for a while now…she rocked it so well!Uche looks soooo good with her short hair.
      my favs Genny,Stella Damascus and i love the little number the lady in the middle(ankara section) has on.Joseph Benjamin best dressed male without a doubt!
      All in all i think most if not all looked really good.

    • THE AMAKA August 11, 2010 at 6:25 PM

      am i the only one bored with Monalisa?

    • ChiBaby August 11, 2010 at 6:34 PM

      Luv Uche Jumbo’s new hair do. Steph- your new do brings out manish features in u; go lower in hair cut. luv the top part of Nadia’s dress. Genny- you’re overrated; switch up your look a bit.
      Desmond- what happened? you don’t like to look good in fashion.
      Abeg someone needs to tell Chi Mokeme to return all his looks for this event back to the person he bougth it from. It is not fine on him; who looks like someone who is trying to match his colors well and throw on a gray jacket to pretend he didn’t try to hard.
      Best dressed male is Benjamin- no need to try to hard.
      Kai, who is Mai katfo or something like that? Na who deceive him with the clothes on his body?
      Please someone tell him to stop competting with a bad dresser Mokeme.

    • Olivia August 11, 2010 at 6:58 PM

      Best dressed for me is Steph Okereke…she totally nailed it. Loved Genny’s look too-understated elegance. Uche Iwuji…just can’t shake off the ‘local babe’ look but she dey try sha! Loved the ankara looks and denim chics. Uche Jombo’s just absolutely fab…I want the # of her personal trainer. Stella D looked worn out and preggy??? Chidi Mokeme…hmmmn I reserve my comments, Desmond Elliot…bros why naaaa????? I love Emem’s glow and look. The Benjamin guy showed why he’s a designer..uber cool and so laid back too. Overall, this red carpet was gooood! Can’t wait to see the two movies again.

    • Fehintola August 11, 2010 at 7:38 PM

      Hahhahahhah you people are so wicked with your comments…yeah Genny killed it and Desmond shouldn’t have left the house looking like that. wharrrahellll…lmao

    • bimbo August 11, 2010 at 7:48 PM

      chai!! abeg pls join me in prayin for Desmond elliot…. pple shd please beg him to stop borrowing his children’s outfit…. as fr uche jombo… in my own opinion, she no try wit dis low cut..

    • MiaJadore August 11, 2010 at 8:45 PM

      I LOVE! everything about Uche Jombo, she is Absolutely Gorgeous!

      Genevieve looks great, so does Stephanie, Stella, Omoni, Susan and Chidi.
      The best I have seen Uche Iwuji look. She lost some weight and looks very fresh, good for her.
      Also the best I have seen Nadia.
      Monalisa always looks like Mgbeke because she is an Mgbeke.
      Desmond (love him) looks like a cartoon character.

      Susan is actually a very beautiful lady naturally. I wish she would cut down on the heavy makeup, huge hair, wild accesories, drag queen colors and those ridiculous eye lashes that often wear she and let she natural beauty shine. People as pretty as she is don’t have to do too much with their look, and she over does it all the time.

    • Lamide August 11, 2010 at 9:07 PM

      What was Desmond thinking? Goodness.
      Anyways, I love how the industry is getting more glitzy these days, and the ladies aren’t looking bad at all :)

    • deka August 11, 2010 at 9:17 PM

      Genny & Ebube does it all 4 me, they look very elegant. Then ankara & denim ladies. Lastly stella too

    • Yve August 11, 2010 at 9:23 PM

      Genevieve looked fab aside from the “too flat in the front” lace wig
      Desmond Elliot….why why why?
      Aku Edewor is always representing, looking like something straight
      off the runway, she’s really a beautiful girl.
      Uche Jombo looked am-az-ing!!! Love the new hair.
      Nadia is just a cute yellow girl, lovely red dress with the frills, v v nice.

      As for the rest…I have forgotten how they looked already

    • Catty August 11, 2010 at 9:47 PM

      Ebube is the one that looks like a local chic….who thinks Uche Iwuji looks local? Mind urself. And chidi mokeme looks like he is saying….YELZZ, ADIM BAD!

      • Chizzy August 15, 2010 at 1:44 AM

        ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Gam August 11, 2010 at 10:06 PM

      ”desmond looks like agege bread inside water.na wa” LNGKM!!! i totally laughed out the yoghurt i was taking.
      mehn, you guys have said it all.

    • Ruby August 11, 2010 at 10:07 PM

      Monalisa looks lovely…absolutely divine. You guys criticizing her are just jealous jor!
      Leave her alone and go pick on someone else! ptcheeew!

    • Molly August 11, 2010 at 11:29 PM

      Chidi Mokeme “dude u owned this” loved d whole ensemble
      Genevieve rocked “its hard to pull off a mohawk with a lace wig, tried it once so I totally feel u on dat one” loved the dress
      Eku in d jumpsuit…Bhaira in d shift dress….sweet
      Stephanine’s hair…fabulous
      Uche Jumbo…am I d only one who thinks her skin is glowing…not easy to rock a baldie but she totally pulled it off

    • Ijé August 12, 2010 at 12:01 AM

      Desmond, you will not kill me today! LMAO…
      I like Genevieve’s makeup… just the right amount
      Denim chicks look great
      I guess pink was in for the guys. Joseph Benjamin, fine fine fine :)
      Majid not doing it for me in those pics.

    • Lana August 12, 2010 at 12:25 AM

      Desmond y? Y? Y? Genny looks great and uche jumbo. Did mai Atafo dress Chidi..these their red shoes na wa o!

    • babylawyer August 12, 2010 at 12:28 AM

      @ yaya “Desmond Elliot looks like ‘agege bread inside water’ – totally hilarious!!!!” I’m still laughing.

      Genny looks amazing! So does Uche. One of these soft-sell magazines should quickly contract her to do one of those “how I lost 40pounds in two hours” stories the foreign tabloids are forever issuing

    • BKay August 12, 2010 at 12:41 AM

      MONALISA = boring, same ol’ look all the time plus she needs to loose those rose
      hair ruffle shez always cliping to her hair its so high school!! That was what was
      reigning in my high school 5yrs ago.

      CHIDI MOKEME = amazing.
      DESMOND WTH seriously? who advised you?

      Gene, Stephanie Okereke on point..

    • Nice Anon August 12, 2010 at 2:11 AM

      Monalisa looks like “onye n’ete ude”

      Desmond’s dressing looks like he went to Jand and didn’t finish the fashion
      lesson before he ran back home. I kinda understand the look he was going for
      but warra heck!

      Who be dat persin wey wear curtain wey dem get for house come event?

    • THE AMAKA August 12, 2010 at 4:34 AM

      just noticed genny’s is rocking Chanel ! NICE!!!

      @ asa hahahahahahaha @ the desmond comment.

    • LAUREN August 12, 2010 at 5:50 AM

      Uche Jumbo is looking like a super hot model, trust me if it were in hollywood, Uche Jumbo will make millions by gracing a magazine cover in that million dollar looks with her low cut and weight loss. Trust me companies should be lobbying to pay Uche Jumbo milions to advertise their products just as Jennifer Hudson is promoting alot of weight related products and gracing magazine pages for her recent lost weights too. Uche thats a business secret for u sister, tell your marketing manager to market this your new looks cuz u deserve millions as pay back. Its tough to loose this amount of weight and to totally remake yourself like this to look 20 years younger, with about 2o pounds or more of weight lost. bravo sister, i love your courage and preofessionalism.

      Alos another Uche that catches my fancy is Uche iwuji, danm she is totally look so hot and classy, very pretty and lovely. Many other people look great, Genny, Ebube, Steph etc

    • LAUREN August 12, 2010 at 5:53 AM

      Sorry i forgot Baira Mcwizu, i think she looks danm hot and totally different. Looking so classy and pretty too.

    • Dith-H-P August 12, 2010 at 7:49 AM

      K cant remember when last I commented on these red carpet thingies but here goes my humble opinion.

      Genny-cute but I need u 2 be breathtaking. U hv all d qualities. (love d chanel purse tho)

      Uche Iwuji–Loves it!!!!!! U lost all that weight girl and u look darling!

      Uche jumbo–Never looked better. Not every1 can pull that look off.

      Chidi Mokeme-I like a guy with style & I think u’ve got it–but black shoes wld hv perfected d look. Overly matching can be overkill

      Susan–Niceee.

      ….errr whoelse? Evry1 looked fairly decent really but Monalisa sugar! U need a fab hairstylist badddd and u are a victim of over accessorizing. Frankly it makes u look..err…. childish. Try wearing things that make u look like d sophisticated ladu u are & not like a little girl playing dress up.!

      I am no Anna Wintour! But I am just saying.
      #okbye

    • kikilicious August 12, 2010 at 8:14 AM

      Love Monalisa anyday. Most of the girls are georgeous. Nadia is too fine abeg!

    • mariaah August 12, 2010 at 8:54 AM

      First of all thanks bella naija for making me laff hard early this morning, these comments are so funny.. Still loling @ “agege bread inside water” booo desmond!!

      Ehh som1 said “leather in 2010″ at uche’s look ermm where av u been?? Looks like you need to get a load down on fashion cos its still in at the moment.. She totally pulled it off it..

      Eish anybody remember the dress monalisa is wearing? The PR shoot tingy isn’t that the dress she wore for the shoot?Love her hair accessory (she’s such a doll sigh***) but its not or red carpet and she should have done her hair up or like a chignon same to susan but I agree with the make up tho. She still as pretty as her Eniola days in Domino; I remember me and my sis tot she was so pretty and fab and posh too with british accent..lol..

      Uche!!! you bera drag your manager or agent along and sign all those mag deals with you on the cover in a before and after pic..If possible make your own fitness video, branch out of Nigeria and sign with all those weight loss drinks/shakes to be the face of their product in Nigeria!! Its not only makeup and Orange drugs limited AKA Delta soaps that pple market…

      Eh Desmond..already ranted on this ya look the other time so I say no more..
      Ah… Everyone looks soo good naija pple scrub up wella sha!!

    • mariaah August 12, 2010 at 9:00 AM

      Ok just gone to check thats not the dress from the shoot :)

    • joke August 12, 2010 at 9:30 AM

      Love everything abt Bhaira McWizu.Ebube Nwagbo will always be my favorite girl anyday anytime.

    • Kaylah August 12, 2010 at 10:41 AM

      SHES GONNA HATE ME FOR THIS BUT ……WHATEVER!

    • PJ August 12, 2010 at 11:06 AM

      I have never commented before, but just cannot help it. This is the Nollywood I like. They all look classy, beautiful and decent. No excessive show of flesh, no overbearing colour combination. They all look just good. Even the guys. Thank you BN for sharing this and for keeping us entertained.

    • motuns August 12, 2010 at 11:18 AM

      love the ladies in denim

    • Peperempe August 12, 2010 at 11:30 AM

      Enuff said about Desmond. Chidi should have worn dark brown shoes, matchy-matchy is a no no. Uche Jombo looks foxy. That’s all for now.

    • Ifeyinwa August 12, 2010 at 12:21 PM

      Ok… I clearly disagree, Chidi looks impressive only that the jacket has to go.
      @lauren, I certainly agree with you. bellanaija.com, fab. job.

    • nawaoh August 12, 2010 at 12:38 PM

      Steph Okereke is beautiful….shame she insists on a forced jim-iyke-sounding american accent

      Genevieve looks very spent/tired these days and her face always looks swollen (like she’s pregnant)

      Uche Jombo’s hair…smh…let’s just say that gorimapa haircut makes her look sick and the dress makes her look like she’s a bridesmaid

      nadia buari….this babe has NO style…maybe no one told her the meaning of ‘red carpet’, so she just thot ‘i shud wear red…red anything!’…

      susan peters, mona lisa – ROTFLMAO!!! WTF???! where did they think they were going??

      BUT MAJID!!!! MY MAJID! even if this boy wore rags, he’ld look hot….infact, i cant even go on commenting, i am weak *daydreaming about me and majid*

      • andy August 22, 2010 at 8:27 PM

        what do yourself know about red carpet stop hating i will choose her over many naijas anyday you have to live with it dont ENVY

    • nawaoh August 12, 2010 at 12:40 PM

      nooooooooooooooooo….that cant be desmond elliot! infact, i’m speechless

    • nonye August 12, 2010 at 1:59 PM

      Jeez this! u guys have really cracked me up! I like Genevieve but I seriously think there are a lot of others who do better than her…here’s my score board:

      Stephanie – 97% (woulda been 100 but for the over match match)
      Uche Jombo – 96% ( by the way guys, she cut her hair for the role in the movie as a cancer victim)
      Genevieve -95% ( I dont exactly love the way her legs look in that dress)
      Others — you can share 60 – 8% (ebube is gradually evolving!)

      Uche Iwuji!!!!!! here’s my dusting powder for the rashes that will follow those leather skinnies!

    • Immaculette August 12, 2010 at 2:19 PM

      Uche Jumbo is representing abeg….the gal is younger and happier. Go gal no be u cause am.

      Steph is fine but i dn’t like dis matchy stuff somthing different cud do.

      mona lisa u are always at a stationed place. when will u grow up?

      My gal, Ufuoma the gown looks like a nytieas if u jst woke up,wetin happen?

      Nwagbo, which of the films did she appeared, y the N1m smiles? u look gud sha whether na y u dey happy say u cross over.

      Mbong Amata, must u leech urself to another. b confident of urself. it pays. Learn from Ebube,toomuch critics & she continue to forge ahead. i blv she get there.

      desmond, producer cum Director bt who produce and director dat stuff u stuff urself in2? abe no dey disgraaaaaaace ur fans. as a fact fire ur designer or better sue him.wot is in ur mind coming to dis August event in August looking like a june bamboo.

      Susan, my gal. u are already a statement lady with ur natural pretty,y d too much make-up? b urself,b nigerian.

      Chidi GQ, i respect your bold dress sense.

      what’s wrong Stella? long time no see, even 4 the programmes u said u are airing? i hope marriage is not tying u up? i no it’s demanding bt ur peers are holding hope whl bursting out. u look tired and i hate 2 see you like dis.welcome back.

      Finally, give it up for Genevieve Nnaji. the gial no dey slack.she is always there where she is supposed to be ,she wears what’s supposed to be worn and she accentuates her dressing with just the right accessories. Am a big fan of this Angel who will is taking Nollywood not only to Hollwood bt worldllywood. U are the best dressed,

    • Ngozi August 12, 2010 at 2:30 PM

    • Observer August 13, 2010 at 3:14 AM

      Lol at Monalisa looks like an mgbeke. Am sure Egor Efiok the so called new PR guru dressed her! I pity Egor as she follows Monalisa about like a lovesick puppy because Monalisa will show her PEPPER ehn that is if she’s not already showing her o! Monalisa is very quarrelsome, cocky, controlling and jealous of her friends and costars. The only person whose ass she kisses is Emem Isong’s and that’s because of her bread lol. She is very possessive and splits up any friends she comes in between. Ever wondered why Egor no longer promotes Nse? Yes you guessed. Monalisa split them up and they are childhood friends. Am really laughing at Egor because mark my words na she go run like Carl Lewis from Monalisa lol! Instead of you to stay with the devil you know you dey follow mgbeke about like mumu, lol!

    • cute+sexy August 13, 2010 at 3:31 AM

    • jamey August 13, 2010 at 3:46 AM

    • jess August 13, 2010 at 10:14 AM

      WOW uche jombo, this girl understand the biz in showbiz, WOW when i saw the first pix with the hair on her twitter page i thought it was a joke, twittered by some lionchic as part of holding hope set pix of uche really looking sick with this hair on the floor i knew i had to see the movie, to me it was no longer a matter of good or bad movie, it was now for all about seeing that look and how she got it. watched and loved the movie.congrats emem, desmond and uche for giving me hope and still holding hope of better nollywood movies, personally tired of the part 8 movies n name change.do ur thing guys.uche jombo if u dont keep this hair for a while i will do you something.u rock this look.

    • tatafo August 13, 2010 at 10:14 AM

      Na wa for assumptions upon assumptions. I asked Genny on twitter about her lace wig and she said she wasn’t wearing any. It’s her hair and extensions at the back. I guess she fooled us ITKs. Lollll!!!!

    • boobsy doo August 13, 2010 at 11:16 AM

      UCHE JUMBO IS LOOKING TOO OLD………..
      LIKE A 40 SUMTIN YEAR OLD WOMAN…………
      SOMEONE SAVE HER.

    • pretty August 13, 2010 at 11:38 AM

      @ observer, I think you stooped very low. If you have a fight to pick with Egor and Lisa, go do that with them, not on a public page. You’re probably doing it for NSe but in the end, it’ll work against her. I know people say some nasty things here, but it’s about appearances and I don’t think they really mean harm. For you to come here and get so personal is too cheap. Let’s grow up abeg. We ‘re all women(i don’t suppose men come her) and should work together for our good.

    • Ruby August 13, 2010 at 11:48 AM

      @Observer You are really very stupid to come on the pages of a public site and make these comments! Why air your dirty linen in public? If you have a personal problem with Monalisa why dont you go and tell her yourself instead of coming hear and talking trash! You are obviously a very sick and jobless person. Please go get a life and leave innocent people alone! Ptcheeeew!

    • QueenJaga August 13, 2010 at 4:59 PM

      I am most impressed by Bhaira’s look, that girl has evolved! go girl
      Stella looks like she has lost her groove…

        there are no insults its the truth .

    • Divaliscious August 13, 2010 at 11:20 PM

      @The Amaka Cute+sexy spoke the truth those people abusing Monalisa and Nadia ARE jealos because Naija sun has turned their’s black and their bleeshing cream have refused to work! lol! lol… the girls look stunning! Nothing do them ….. go girls! The critics are just haterzzzzzz! mtcheeew!

      • THE AMAKA August 17, 2010 at 7:03 PM

        not really. its called having an opinion. i think Monalisa is alright, but nothing special about her. are we supposed to start pretending to salivate over them because of their color? and if you dont its “bad belle” Nadia is cute but i would say Monalisa is average, she has never moved a bone in my body.

    • loli August 14, 2010 at 12:29 AM

      Oh my genny! love u too much, always stands out looking effortlessly classy and elegant. Uche is the bomb, looking very trim and beautiful. Stephhnie and Omoni equally look sensational.

    • bibi August 14, 2010 at 1:20 AM

      uche looks nice…lost a lot of weight. good job

      @boobsydoo

      I guess the over 90% positive comments about Uche Jombo’s look more or else shed more light on how backward your fashion sense really is

    • Chizzy August 15, 2010 at 1:26 AM

      Desmond elliot dis ur waist coat na off shoulder?

    • kiki August 15, 2010 at 5:27 AM

      Steph looks absolutely fabulous..I must say she has the best outfit and totally nailed it. Genny looks good too. But seriously, Desmond needs a stylist.

    • WandooTV August 16, 2010 at 2:11 AM

      Nigerian actresses are doing us proud. This the first time I ‘ve seen anyone lose wait for a nollywood role. 9ja actors and actresses have started to go the extra mile and it is showing. Uche Jombo looks phenomenal. She definitely is one of those actresses I will love to work with. I love her energy.

    • Nefertity August 16, 2010 at 1:25 PM

      Seriously Chidi, red shoes?! C’mon son!
      What the flippin’ heck is Desmond wearing as well?!
      Genevieve & Stephanie look great, glad to see they’re stepping their style game up.
      The haircut actually looks good on Uche, wish she was a better actress tho.
      Been a min Stella, she’s not looking too shabby.
      Susan Peters seriously needs to get herself a style team or whatever, she looks like a freakin’ trainwreck!

    • lara August 20, 2010 at 12:21 AM

      It is so nice to really see Stella Damascus again. Stephanie and Genevieve both look radiant and sexy in their dresses. Uche Jombo, i love that u are really working the hair cut, in a sexy manner for that matter. Desmond, i am a huge fan but i think wearing the waist coat was not the best decision fashion-wise. Its just not working for me, it looks too tight and the really low neck cut is not so nice. Am still a fan.

    • dianne August 24, 2010 at 4:49 PM

      desmond, you no try abeg. uche iwuji, u would have looked nicer with less blush and slimmer tighs.ufuoma, that dress looked cheap. Monalisa, u need a better stylist. Everyone else looked great but genevieve, steph, nadia and ebube were fantastic!!!!!!

    • BeeSkit August 27, 2010 at 12:53 AM

      Monalisa’s a hot mess!!! Wats with d necklace and plant in her hair??! Ever heard of the term “simplicity”?

      Genevive looks classy, Stephanie’s dress was very high fashion but am not feelin those shoes

    • eniola September 26, 2010 at 1:35 AM
