Tomi Odunsi, Beverly Naya, and Latasha Ngwube did it for me…on point!
P.S.: It was supposed to be a black ball, right? Some people dressed wrong o lol. All in all, really good looking peeps!!
I thought Toke was one of the 3liveChicks. has she been evicted ni?
Ebuka: Hot Hot Tameles
Kemi “Lala” Akindoju: Gorgeous Black Sequin Dress
Toke needs to chill. Toni tones dont just get it right.
Dis Tope Makinwa’s cloth doe smh*
Her make up nka? her face is WHITE!!!!
Wow! Hot! Hot! Hot! my pick is Lala’s dress
It was such a fun night! I look forward to the next edition.
Toke just tries way too hard, and why are her nipples showing in the dress
Toke’s dress fits her body however it cudda been more decent. We dont need to see ur areola. its not classy. the boobage area of the dress shudda been abit more conservative
Is dat Tokes nipple I c Der? Nice event sha…….
Love Linda’s legs go Linda go Linda, You are my girl any day just like Genny.
ChiDynma looks put together tonight. Keep it up.
Toke is still out there trying too hard and displaying nipplegate for us.
Noble looks nice.
Toni Tones is slowly making her way into my “you try too hard” list.
Uti, give us an entirely new set of clothes and poses in 2013 okay? Thanks in advance.
Beverly Naya looks amazing. And I see her and Alex in each other’s vicinity..hmmm. We investigate.
I’m starting to like this Seyi Shay chick. Looking quite nice.
Tosyn Bucknor just never gets it right IMO.
Praiz needs to invest in a stylist. Such a good looking man with very meh style.
Latasha – looking good.
Rekana Sharon – No ma’am.
This high-slit trend…I can’t wait for it to end.
I think a lot of people in the “unnamed category” look much better than the actual celebs.
@ madam the madam, was goin say same about Uti da pose n looks bore me nw.
Uti please to relax ur face for fun pics! Beverly Naya looks good,but I think she’s got a thing for Uti not Alex # wink wink#
did she get lost to her wedding? cuz y the wedding dress? http://bellanaija.cdn.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Y-Magazine-Black-Ball-December-2012-BellaNaija011.jpg, oh bev you are always on point, love the outfit, but the hair is a no no for the color.
this toni tone or what ever haba u always get it wrong.
its a ball, why is Noble dressed in a traditional attire? wrong wrong wrong. was he suppose to be acting a play or what? No be black tie event?
My dear.. formal wear could be either black tie or full traditional dress. Check on any formal dinner or cocktail invitations you may have received.
All I see see here is show me yuh skin!! Toke u nid to chill na wts all dt Boobs for…and must u go to every Event?? Yuh forcing it Real Hard these Days,,Don’t allow notice me make u become classless like karen igho
I do have a bit of a crush on Noble. Whether it’s the fitted pencil pants or the traditional lion’s head Igbo man getup… He just exudes a certain sense of confidence that is alluring!
Napoleon syndrome family!
Biko Aunt Toni Tones, JUST STOP!!!STOP!!!!! You don’t have the body for what you’re trying to pull off! sTOP FORCING IT
Alex Ekubo, Praiz marry me
Beverly Naya looks sooooo beautiful. Amazeballs. Best dressed for me.
Linda ‘chopping life’ Ikeji is the best dressed. Classy. Not overdone. Love it! Btw, she is one celeb that doesn’t do foneh. She is one person Id love to meet. As Yall can see, jadore Linda.
lmao ..who made linda a celeb..*just asking*
lol…
Best i’ve ever seen Noble and maybe because his crotch is not on show. Fab traditional wear.
Latasha; looks so good. All the bits are hiding.
Toni Tones; her back is so un-toned. Okay we know you have done your breasts but you should cover the sides too.
Most of them are well dressed. No Efe Tommy?
Gbemi O-O is really trying and has stepped up her game. Well done.
Forgot to add, Linda’s legs are gorgeous. She needs to moisturise more though.
I’m even surprised that BN is posting negative comments about Toke. We know that you all are very partial toward her. Please be fair and balanced, partiality from a classy mag like you all should not be detected. #journalism. get it together bn.
Tomi Odunsi, Lala and Beverly Naya look amazing but the lady in the white dress with the side boob just looks wrong. All in all, lovely pictures.x
Im almost certain that there was someone to screen the guests cos everyone looks splendid. Didnt notice any razzness
Beverly Naya nailed it, followed by Lala then Linda Ikeji. Lovely legs Linda!
Where are the remaining “regulars” Natasha, Beverly, Linda all nailed it.
I like Noble Igwe’s outfit, he pulled it off well. Igbo and proud!
Ebuka is the best dressed. Male and female included
It was a “ball” right? so why exactly are people wearing, cocktail, structured, peplum (and the likes) kind of dresses? BTW, this Toni tones newest idea to go to events almost naked (peep the side boob) is it now a sin to be decently dressed? Lami, why is there a huge difference between the colour of your face and other body parts?
pls why does Toke look like micheal jackson here..?
http://bellanaija.cdn.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Y-Magazine-Black-Ball-December-2012-BellaNaija078.jpg
toni tones dear..ur side boobs r neva to b seen!!!!!
Lami needs a new hair stylist!
Ebuka is off key…. something about him and his look is not ugly but not handsome
LALA!!!!! Simple and elegant, without all the extra
Me thinks some folks either can’t read or lost their invitation…i’m guessing the dress code was BLACK, or did the other people clear the market?
So my boy won the award for “Best Dressed Male” on the night….kindly put show us his pic….thanks!!
Waje, please why did you ruin that dress with that bra? Toni Tones, please change style quickly, where are your friends and mirror?.
Beverly Naya looks effortless. Less is more
Kaai dis linda is so cute..
My girls Linda Ikeji and Beverly Naya look are so beautiful!!!
See my Shalewa (Tomi Odunsi) looking so fine. Linda, you go girl.
B everly, Lala and Linda best dressed. Worst dress is Franca Asindi not very flattering
What is this!? I wish you simpletons saw were there to see Miss Toni Tones in person that night. She looked like a glam doll! Even Wana Sambo (who was robbed blind of the best dressed award at the show by bloody Oreka Goodis). The photos do ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTICE to how good those ladies looked. I literally gagged when Toni walked on stage. And why is there no full photograph of Yvonne Nwosu’s high slit?
You the condescending simpleton.
Best dressed – waje
Toni Tones abi wetin you dey call yourself, you are trying tooooo hard and looking really aweful mehn. All this exposure ain’t cutting it, fire your stylist.
Toke – the style no fit you at all at all.
Toke !!! Noooooooooooo, you are forcing it, you need to chill, whats the fuzz about showing off your boobs, not decent, Toni Tones, classless, i agree that a lot of nameless people look fabulous. #okbye
Lami…..please that hair colour is a no no plus you need a total makeover
Weaves and tacky dresses. You know you’re at a Nigerian event.
Thank God Karen Igho didn’t show up… other wise this time dem no go only slap her, dem for beat her turn turn….lol. I know she will be in her house slucking like Cinderella step sister wanting to go the the ball….eh eh..eh…
Noble’s the best dressed for me. Proudly Igbo and he wore that “ishi-agu” beautifully
how now? is it a traditional event?
Best dressed goes to Linda Ikeji, she looks cute.
What was Shade Ladipo thinking with that colour blocking???
Isnt that out of fashion already *sigh* all this wanna be celebs sha
i love that smile on your face alex, uti you are looking too serious, beverly naya… loving your outfit so so much
The only people that really tried was linda ikeji and the babe in red dress with bell sleeves.
the ladies where just blah, their shoes were off for their outfit…just plain wrong. then the men just no spunk to their attire. everyone was really blah…v.disappointing…too much black I know its a black ball but ya’ll could have worked around the black.
Apart from Sharon being a former Kokolet,wat else does she do?out of a 100 parties she attends 99. Haba!!!
Love Beverly Naya!!!
Toni tones is determined to give us something to talk about…shameless girl
Please who knows where Yvonne ‘Vixen’ – I must attend every Lagos party- Ekwere is? She’s been missing from the scene.
Linda ikeji lace look like something from a funeral home
Franka asindi tho..*sigh* what’s up with that dress?you are the editor in chief of a big nigerian fashion magazune now..you always mostly get it wrong..smh…latasha,beverly,oreka and linda ikeji loook good..ebuka can like to marry me already nw..lol..waje tho..look at your mates like latasha and try to look good too??so disappointing
Franka Asindi looks fab! This is a veer from the usual (jeans n tops). I note the weight loss, radiant skin and as an editor of Complete Fashion, I expect this level of change going forward. Good on you. Watch this space. Toke Makinwa, u stunner! Nothing do you.
ma hotties:Bryan,uti,Alex and OC. MI d short black boy,still luv ya though. what’s with d eye mask? n the pple with d bad sandals and d makeup falling frm their foreheads,u know urselfs…. Linda ikeji is representing,thank ur lucky stars u didnt mess up, we 4 finish u. love the dress!
They shld reduce the amount of foundation nd powder dey apply or beta still blend it well… Nd sharing ojong, nt feeling dat dress @ all upon u cal urself a stylist.. Sigh! Nd dat dude wearing pencil jeans, I wonder y dey let u in.. Dey nid 2 stop banning people 4rm events if dey re nt dressed appropriately 4 d event..
Tosyn BUCKNOR u rock
is it me or does toni tones look like mercy johnson
another round of bad shoes…..OC Ukeje never goes wrong for me.
Kemi Akindoju….CHIC!.
Nice to see noble’s head covered. lol.
Tosyn bucknor should take her backyard made dress to the drycleaners for proper ironing…
Toke……sorry darling, u should swallow an overdose of chill pill in 2013, be MIA for awhile ok love?
franka asindi-chiedu, franka asindi-chiedu, franka asindi-chiedu…….how many times did i call you? dont wear that dress again….the cut is not suited for your burst line……
some nice!some not nice!
