That actor is really ‘stylish’…that’s the best we’ve got? Really????!!!!
My sentiments exactly! Shame
Congrats BellaNaija!!!!!!!!!!!! Y’all deserve it!!!!!!!!

Toolz *cough* ur figure na helele
What was Joseph Benjamin wearing for heavens sake???? His crotch was one sided arghhhhhhh
Congrats BellaNaija u guys rock!
Ermm, just in case you didn’t notice, He is a Guy and has just ONE lil jon…..not 2
her body magic was working wonders this time
nna men, u guys should give it a rest with this body magic crap. So what if she wears it? Damn near every hollywood actress (and probably nollywood too) wears spanx/body magic, and do u still see their curves that pronounced? Body magic or not, the chic is curvy as heck. If u say na lie…so and wear all the body magic in the world and see if u go get tool’z shape nah.
free the babe. I beg. so the lady wears spanx. so what? havent we all at some stage in life?? all it does is smooth over the lumps and give a clean silhouette. Toolz is blessed with a lovely hour glass figure – small hit to waist ratio. all spanx does it enhance it jor.
at least the babe isnt abusing the spanx like others who God hasnt blessed with no small hip to waist ratio nothing. Just straight up block shape body and big tummy that will then be squeezing into spanx for dear life (you know yourselves).
free the babe and make us hear word!
toolz!!! sexy mama
I’d appreciate if someone can explain what Eku Edewor is wearing… I don’t get it one bit
someone mail eku a bra…geez
lmaaaaoooooo
Toolz is SEXY!!!
and umm the girl in black with the kinda afro hair…her legs are on fire
Congrats BN…..
Congrats to Joseph. Now….what is Eku wearing pls?
Toolz curves gonna kill me ohhhhhhhh !
Toolz Tori Olorun
Wowwww! Sis. BN Congrats!!! *Dancing Azonto*

Congrats to the BN team, they sure deserve it.
everyone is screaming toolzzzzz lets wait till she has a kid or kids, cant imagine wat she ill look like!
lol u wish everyone is screaming ur name innit? we are not going to imagine nuthin free d babe already!
Is that the best you can come up with?
Some ladies are never screamed about, whether before child birth or after child birth.
I am no big fan of hers but truth be told, those curves are it.
BN , the photo you tagged fatima garba is wrong. That is Debola who won hair stylist of the year. Cant wait to see the fashion show photos. AsakeOge & Mai Atafo killed it !
Toolz of life.
Well done BN
if uti nwachuku does not respond present for this programme who else? the guy sabi how to answer present for functions o.
Rita Dominic deserves the award bcos as a mater of fact she is the only stylish actress who has brought so much style and fashion to nollywood, the only actress with a power sense of fashion and style, the other enjoy a high level of hype. Last yr she won similar one “Best dressed actress in nollywood”, she is indeed a thing of joy and pleasure to watch in movies and on red carpets with her outfits and nice hairdos,. As for the guy i dont think he deserves it, in dat Jim Iyke, Ramsey Noah and Desmond Eliot are more stylish than he is, my view anyway sha.
glad you won bella coz i voted
all i wonder is where Toolz gets her dresses from,they fit to perfection for someone her size and always hide the unflattering parts of her like her arms…Toolz, I aint mad at that, u know how 2 dress for ur body and that’s cool
Congrats to Bellanaija!
LOL! Is Francis Nwodu’s nickname actually Chinko?! That’s just wrong
You guys deserve to win, BN. Congratulations.
@bellanaija..u deserve it jare..Toolz eee,me sef as I be woman,I dey bow…kilode
Did i just see Mo’ Chedda’s name as the most stylish female artist? Hia! I was prepping myself to see Tiwa on that spot sha.
Rita D defo desrves it, and so does Bella of course.
Toolz…i love ur curves boo! And i especially love that u are not conforming to the western standard of beauty. I appreciate authentic beauty.
Toolz. Looks absolutely amazing! You go girl! Where is Toke Makinwa???? BN, ahn. ahn. She looked HOT, HOT, HOT!
well done, Bella Naija, you guys rock!
Congratz Bella Naija!!keep up the good work
congrats Uche Eze and the BN Team! Well done!

BellaNaija for life. Congrats!
congrats Bella
quick confession;
I spent over a minute on that first pic, and no i was not drooling at Basket Mouth.
Those curves are divine.
After that first pic, every other pic made no sense to me.
Bellanaija is surely the best… The really standout from other blogs in their category
http://www.brandigest.wordpress.com
The babe with the afro is Bunmi Ademokoya. She won female model of the year… HOTTIE
Bella, yall’s pix arent extensive. You didnt show us the pix of the naked chics that showed up.
Bella yall deserve the award. Doing a great job.
Eku pls get a bra gosh!!!! thumbs up to rita u deserve it girl…and a big No to benjamin i totally disagree
congrats Bella and Rita….Toolz is on fire mehn, see her shape. Damn dat girl is hot
Toolz!!!! toh sexy *in Wadw coal’s voice. Rock on gal.
Well deserved award BN. Congrats.
Yep,give it up for D’banj…..That guy is a talented dresser….From his sunglasses to his shirts that look like they were sewn on him,likewise his jackets to his bracelets/wristwatches to his belts and his mad ass shoes…….Tuale D’banj!The only thing that i think he has ever worn that looked really odd on him were those trainers he wore during some Kanye’s show in Paris or maybe ‘cos we are used to seeing him in correct loaffers,shoes and tins…..That aside,Rita Dominic is clearly always impressive without a single doubt.Well done darling!Bella Naija,more power to ur elbows…..Congratulations to the rest of them lot.This is good news!
Congratulations to Bellanaija.com, also 2 Uche Eze Pedro.
*wande
Seriously BN more than deserve the award,it’s the most authentic blog I have seen thus far,it’s settin,the “related search” feature etc…but it censor it comments too much anyway…why is the scream about toolz body really,but she has the height to carry it,but I can’t imagine the body loose,lots of packaging were done thou.Mo’chaddah style is really youthful and funky,I luv her style..The “Afro baby” leg is really on fire,
as if i know Eku Edewor wont wear a bra! congrats Bella!
yay!!! Congrats BN, well deserved.
Big NO NO NO… best-NOOOOO http://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Fab-Night-Out-2012-Winners-December-2012-BellaNaija019.jpg
Seriously,what Makeup does Lola Majo do dt made dem giv her makeup artist of the year? Standing side by side with banke meshida n’David of Mud? Na na na, i xpected David to win,cos dt guy is in a class of his own,his makeup has no equal or rival,David is no doubt d’choice of must celebrities like geneviev,Tools,Goldie,NSpe ikpe etim n’a host of others, n’i hav seen lots of his work,even from his students. Lola Maja fire!! If i hear! N’Joseph benjamin…no comment, anyways,who am i to judge? I really dont tink voting represents d’true picture of anything, cos i culd be bad at someting, get lots of people to vote for me n’i would win.so congrats to all d’winners.
I wonder wen pple will really admit mocheddah is. A good dresser.I voted for her and she sure deserves it.pls ehn she might have made mistakes which we all do but pls let her pick up her life in peace ehn.
Congrats Bellanaija. You deserve it!!!
Y was dat Benjamin guy awarded the most stylish actor. Cos he’s outfit ryte now and any other time is a no no……
David’s work is awesome and so is Lola’s, but i really expected him to win. Oh well!
