Pick Your Fave

Guess What’s Back? It’s BN Pick Your Fave!
We’ve been getting amazing feedback on this style feature. We are glad that you love it too.
This edition is a very unique one but the philosophy remains the same.
These 3 stylish ladies are wearing dresses in seemingly identical styles, bet you can’t guess that these are three different dresses by three different brands.
Definitely shows you that fashion brands draw inspiration from the same pool.
These are one-shoulder asymmetric Grecian-inspired dresses with front and back draping – and a fitted waistband.

A beautiful guest at a recent event wore the blue silk version of this dress. As you can see from the photo, the dress has front and back Grecian style draping with red, blue and silver jewel detailing on the asymmetric shoulder. Our stylish guest chose to pair the dress with high-heeled red sandals, a red clutch and a blinged out bracelet. We love how she swept her hair back in a ponytail as well.

Genevieve Nnaji rocked the peach chiffon version of the dress at the Lagos premiere of the movie – Ije. Gene’s dress is from UK high street brand Lipsy and actually comes without the bejeweled shoulder brooch – That was an addition by Miss Nnaji herself. She paired the dress with black platform pumps and a large structured black clutch. Side parted wavy locks, a delicate bracelet and popping red lips complete her look.

Isio Wanogho was one of the best dressed guests at the recent Fashion TV party held in Lagos. We are used to seeing Isio in long dresses from her label. However, she switched things up for this occasion in a black interpretation of this dress. Isio’s dress has a beautiful jade green jewel shoulder detail and she rocked it with a black jeweled clutch and open-toe black heels. Her highlighted chin-length bob completed her chic look.

So Pick Your Fave

    • omogekofo September 6, 2010 at 2:26 PM

      * 2.she has flawless skin to pull the short dress off unlike the third lady*
      *heel*

    • Ayeesha Butu September 6, 2010 at 2:26 PM

      Genevieve did rock the dress best,adding the brochure is a plus to her,seeing that the dress doesnt come with one………seeing Isio in a short dress is so different and new,very beautiful i must say but keeping it all black shoes and purse with a black dress,seems a tad bit boring to me,she should have jazzed it up a little.

      • niyoo September 6, 2010 at 7:51 PM

        Brochure ke? na brooch o!
        just being cheeky :p

    • Teefah September 6, 2010 at 3:25 PM

      Hands down Genevieve the colour works perfectly with her skin, and her figure is TDF! I could have sworn I saw Gene’s lipsy dress in store with a brooch on it…oh well.

    • THE AMAKA September 6, 2010 at 3:41 PM

    • caramel September 6, 2010 at 3:43 PM

    • cyber_chick September 6, 2010 at 4:08 PM

    • Cutie September 6, 2010 at 4:36 PM

    • fashionconscious September 6, 2010 at 4:38 PM

      Honestly, its gene, she looked amazing, isio , not so good but I like her person, d lady in blue, she pretty but not on d dress

    • Jade September 6, 2010 at 5:05 PM

      Genny all the way, the red and blue shoes of isio werent great, the lady in the black got my second.

      • fokasibe September 7, 2010 at 8:32 AM

        Isio is the girl inthe all black ensemble….

      • Alero September 7, 2010 at 9:46 AM

        Isio Wanogho is d lady in black.The one in blue was a guest @ an event.

    • cuteb September 6, 2010 at 6:34 PM

      Genny uber rocks all the way !!

    • Didi September 6, 2010 at 6:58 PM

      Isio. Nice smile to go with it.

    • tbn September 6, 2010 at 7:14 PM

      Genny wears it best, the dress looks great on her. The lady ni black is next although I dont like the black colour and it looks kinda small on her. As for the lady in blue it looks like she’s wearing someone else’s dress it looks too big man!

    • niyoo September 6, 2010 at 7:18 PM

      Isio did better for me. She wore all black but her hair did it …… the shortish hair showed of her neck and really brought to fore the monostrap.

    • abby September 6, 2010 at 8:10 PM

      Gene rocked it hard followed by Isio. The lady in blue looks like she needed addtional support or something and I wear my hair like that everyday

    • Zara September 6, 2010 at 9:15 PM

      GENE!!!!

    • Molly September 6, 2010 at 10:47 PM

      Isio Wanogho…d brooch is positioned just at the right place n luv d sleeveless feature, it works with hair.
      Genevieve looks good.
      The blue dress could be a bit more fitted, its a tad too big but the blue colour and pink/red brooch is a lovely colour combo, primary colours combined always work.

    • mariaah September 6, 2010 at 11:00 PM

      Gene of course!! She wore that dress mahn, I bet Lipsy will be pleased + she’s got a banging body “no homo” lol.. The rest get as im be.. :) :O

    • misstee September 7, 2010 at 12:10 AM

      Gen by all standards..blue dress is too droopy..black dress is cool but pretty basic next to Gen’s white outfit.

    • nando September 7, 2010 at 5:26 AM

      Genny Rocks!…

    • Proudly_Naija September 7, 2010 at 9:45 AM

      Best is Isio nice colour i.e. Dress, nice hair, bright smile, lovely posture. Worst is Gene no smile, bad hair (yuck!), bad posture in my opinion the dress will look better on a hanger she didn’t carry herself well enough for me to appreciate it. But pls Gene fans this is my opinon it’s a free world and everyone has a right to one.

      • izzo September 8, 2010 at 2:06 PM

        do u wear glasses!!!

      • onthesubject September 9, 2010 at 4:25 PM

        LOL!

    • Ms. Jayee September 7, 2010 at 9:55 AM

      Need you ask? Genevieve pulled it off best followed closely by the lady in blue. Isio should get her legs buffed! It’s really unflattering.

    • joke September 7, 2010 at 11:49 AM

      Gene is my fave, cos she has the right hair, right purse, right shoe and right smile …..lol.
      Love the dress on her more.

    • ego September 7, 2010 at 12:49 PM

      Gen’s hair is awful, it does not do her justice. The last girl Isio wore it best.

    • osomelly September 7, 2010 at 12:49 PM

      waaaaat????? bella u too funny o!!! whish kain quesion be dat na??? Genny of course! ok i gerrit, u were being sarcastic… genny rocked dat outfit die!!! her stepping out is da ‘bunz’!! lolllll! but seriously, genny is too tite!

    • Olivia September 7, 2010 at 12:57 PM

      GENE definitely!!! That’s another Nike Oshinowo in terms of innate sense of style. I love her personal and professional growth. She’s defintely someone I’d stand in line to get an autograph from. She has STAR oozing from her pores.
      Isio is not half bad but the lady in front looks like she’s wearing some new version of female ‘agbada’ to me….lol

      • onthesubject September 9, 2010 at 4:27 PM

        LOL! r u Dbanj incognito?

    • Jaga September 7, 2010 at 2:39 PM

      Genny’s got the right dress color n the right shoes… she’s looks sooo classy though she would hv dne better with a different hair do, but she works the dress AIIGHT!

    • Ifeoma September 7, 2010 at 3:30 PM

      Isio Wanogho pulls it off effortlessly. Not too sure about her shoes though and she has a killer wattage smile. Genny; no comments. Don’t want to be called out on being a hater. The blue dress would have been suitable on a taller and slimmer person, maybe blue is not one of her suitable colours. :)

    • Bisqo September 7, 2010 at 3:34 PM

      Genny, Isio then the lady in blue.

    • Oluchi September 7, 2010 at 6:00 PM

      Is almost a tie between Iso and Genny. The pumps on Genny made her the best. The lady that wore it in blue- it looked more like the dress was wearing her. It is rumpled and oversized on her body.

    • monnysol September 7, 2010 at 7:39 PM

      genevieve is my fav she looks good

    • afrochicc September 8, 2010 at 12:12 PM

      Isio outfit definitely werks 4 me! Gene has 2 much going on.4rm d long weave to d colour of d dress 2 her lipstick.no harmony.less is always more.

    • omo-yankee September 8, 2010 at 2:18 PM

      i really don’t know what u guys r seeing with Gene..her hair is a mess..come on that wig really needs to be comb and washed. the lady in the blue was very much well put together, yeahit is a bit big!! and the one in the black it’s okay but her legs r a bit uneven, i guess u really need to stick to long dresses and skinny jeans.

    • lolly September 9, 2010 at 1:23 AM

      Agreed gene rawked the dress but sorry guys.. really bad hair day for her….. blimey! her hair stylist should be fired!

    • omo yoruba ni mi o September 9, 2010 at 11:19 AM

      Isio Wanogho is on point!!! Simple Classy, Cute and Sexy in one go!! it aint easy!!! And that smile…… Hands Down Mama!!

      I admire what Genny was going for though it wasnt refined enough for my liking

    • Tola September 9, 2010 at 8:54 PM

      G’s dress is the nicest,but her hair… no.
      I love the sandals of the lady in blue, lovely accesories all through.

    • dorothy September 10, 2010 at 1:12 AM

      my best is definitely gene….everything about hers was just ryt.

    • tatafo September 10, 2010 at 11:37 PM

      Gene did a fabulous job. I love everything about her in the photo, especially the carefree pose. And what’s with the complaint on the hair? She can never please u naysayers can she? Isio is too matchy matchy; I bet if that was Gene’s look u would notice.

    • LeighJoy September 11, 2010 at 6:24 AM

      ISIO ISIO!

      omg she’s so effortlessly FABULOUS!

    • datgidigirl September 12, 2010 at 4:20 PM

      Def the lady in blue please. Not everything has to be tight and fitted. she looks classy and elegant with the flowing dress and the fabric and cut is age appropriate. The electric blue is beautiful against her skin.
      If she had worn something smaller people would have been abusing her that she wants to look like a teenager

    • chi September 18, 2010 at 3:53 PM

      the third girl definitely nailed it for me! Genevieve’s hair is too much considering the style of the dress. hair could have been simpler. The length of hers is also too short in a not so nice way! my two cents!

    • naomi September 23, 2010 at 6:54 PM

      jen is my fave,great legs and skin plus the right accessories!the blue one is a no no,maybe for someone bigger.

    • diva December 10, 2010 at 6:45 AM

      genevieve’s dress but her makeup looks horrible. made her look old and miserable
