Chioma! Looking great.
Like seriously??????? of ALL d beautiful looking pple, its Chioma who looks like plain Jane dat u saw? huh? na wa o
lol
R u related to her?…she looks like an ngbeke….kate looking so lovely…
Hello Chioma! Great indeed.
hmm n y’all should back off. chioma does look great. Actually she was the only one i noticed. she hasnt been on the red carpet of late and so as they say absence makes the heart fonder. note to other celebrities that are a constant feature on the red carpet, lay off for a bit.
r u serious?
Non-Functioning Air conditioners I guess. #It is a fearing something#considering the heat wave in Naija.
Team Elohor!!!
Grand pa olisa Adiba lol . . . .
LLOOOOL
Na Wa o…a bit of photo-shopping will have been a great idea…not too late though…the sweaty look and dark contrast makes it a bore…
Tiwa it was only God dt saved u frm dt Boobs not spilling out of yuh Dress..abeg cover dose small boobs of yuhs joo nonsense…team #mo chedda* she is very classy
Not big on exposed boobs and will not wear it myself, but hers were not about to fall out. The dress is not made for someone with excessive mammary glands. That is why is works on her.
It did not work on her look at the model that is how the dress is supposed to fit.Truth be told.
Munachi looked really nice. Best I’ve seen her look in a while, she should keep up the good work.
I would have loved to see pics of the MAC goods/pricing details.
are you a learner? how can you not know the price of mac cosmetics? besides, you don’t need price, you just buy!
shut up! Do you think everyone uses MAC? It’s one of the cheap brands if you don’t know! All you Nija mgbekes thinking MAC is all that! MAC is good but not all that! I assure you that Bobbi Brown and Iman are way better!
We can’t all be Runz Babe she asked a legitimate question, we all know how everything is quadruple the its price in naija.
At all oh. Iman is not so great, made in China grade B mass market quality. MAC uses grade A usa quality for their color products. For higher end products, Chanel and Erno Laszlo are pretty good. I use black opal for my skincare and makeup, and it works best for me sha and it’s also grade A usa quality with correct prices.
Kate throw dose clothes away nd pls next time try to Dress yuh age
No comment but nice event

vikkyscreed.blogspot.com
lol @chyke “Red Carpet Events Attendants”
Elohor looks fresh aha. Fine babe!
Yeaa,finally Toke put her finger out…..is that the chick behind makeup,Banke?(Lipsealed) Eku look nice,and simple,but that hair style is not for every body…Muna like her,but why is she ageing? My best look remain,Mocheddah,Elohor,Tiwa(look at those legs,damn it),Zizi(never ageing mama)…Chidyma,after seeing that dress on Rita Dominic on the cover of Mag,it look better on her,I know the dress cost about N40k or there about,but hell No,it didn’t flatter your chest region…Overall Nice event!
Mocheddah lukin hawt!Hate Chioma’s hair,ChiDynma always luks d same 2me,#jst sayin#Muna Is so adorable mehn!I’m such a sucker wen it cums2 blazers ,Kate’s shape is bangin bt her outfit isn’t age appropriate…overall!decent crowd
NO HOMO BET, LADY IN RED NEXT TO MUNA….*Fans Self*
……and I had to relive this Kate Henshaw’s nightmarish look…… going to recover first, will be back.
I need those valentino shoes on tiwa

uti no go killed me for red carpet ooo….
gistyinka.com
Reading through the comments and I just can’t understand why anyone would say Kate Henshaw looks great. Like are you guys blind? She has never looked more ridiculous in her entire life
Exactly what I was thinking! That jacket looks so awkward!
She reminded me of a Spanish matador. Just imagine the leggings or jacket in red.
On another note, it grinds my gears that Yvonne Ekwere calls herself a vixen. Even if other people pressed the name on her, she should have rejected it. Each time I see her on a red carpet, I look hard to see where she got the name from, and years later, I still haven’t.
Hmnn..Banke preggy?
Adewale Ayuba..what are you doing there..
Tiwa..Tiwa…hmnnn…
GO MUNA….GO MUNA….SHE LOOKS FAB
Awwwww Banke is pregnant? Congrats Mama Iris.
I don’t get the celebs in attendance o. Were they paid to attend or just invited or what? Adewale Ayuba! Uti !! Issorai
Of course her nose gave it away…that’s like 2nd trimester nose right there..she is gorgeous

Omg!
I love Kate buh her make up is so untidy and she should have added some color to that outfit considering the fact that she’s dark skinned.
Ewww!!! The AC was definitely not working.
Oh WOW! Had to scroll back up to be sure of what I had just seen! Na wa o. Nne, why?
http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/BN-Exclusive_-The-Official-Launch-of-MAC-Cosmetics-February-2013-BellaNaija121.jpg
All of these and not a one of the products launched or the people launching the products. The camera loves Nigerians:).
tobechistyle.com
I totally agree no single person made mention of the person that brought the franchise into the country , all the red carpet folks most probably do not even know who the man behind the business is i guess lagosians are all about the show i hope it will be affordable or will it be tax free cause thats how its sold in Barbados
Stephanie Coker looks hot as usual! Young, Fresh and she smiles! #StephRocks
Best dressed goes to Mo’Cheeda
I love MAC Products.Hmm i hope they won’t try to inflate the price.would have love to see the items not the people .
Is it just me or vixen has a jersylicious sorta dress sense….?!
Uti’s dressing is always on point
Best dressed ladies are: Muna, Sarah Ofili, Elohor Aisien and Tiwa.
Ah ah, was the AC not working at this venue?? Sweat everywhere!

munachi abii is gorgeous, but her breast keeps getting bigger. don’t want to say anything but i hope they’re real cuz big boobs will make her look more shapeless, since she carries her weiht on top. secondly, ahn ahn LV outfit..can someone confirm if it is authentic LOL http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/BN-Exclusive_-The-Official-Launch-of-MAC-Cosmetics-February-2013-BellaNaija121.jpg

BellaNaija.com, is it okay *if lift some pictures* (in stella dimoko’s voice) from your site? Do you mind? Thanks
(in stella dimoko korku’s voice)
Go Muna!!! I entirely love her simplicity. Less is more…and why does Tiwa have her boobs all out??!! Mschewww
Uti!!!! Always well dressed! Nice pose too! Chidinma needs to watch her weight. Olisa should visit a gym. Kate looks good. Age is in the mind, nothing wrong with her flaunting her shape. Dolapo looks god. Eku looks so oyibo here sha! Tiwa! Abeg!! This free show is too much now Haba!!
Printers devil!!!! Dolapo looks good too!
Was at the event. It was HOT! Terribly hot. It was even an outdoor event sef.for me though, everyone looked really good. Thats what an event like this is sopposed to lok like. Kate rocked the show as she was the anchor and Tiwa kill it too(but i bin dey fear say her breasts go pour comot for the dress) Muna Eku Mo’cheda Banke Tara Elohor Uti Toke all looked amazing. Not forgetting ma fav actress Chioma who i saw has trimmed alot and looked lovely. Her hair looked nice save for when the heat was unbearable and made her looked like she just showered….lol but she looked sweet and was amazed when i went to say hi to her…..she was so warm and spent a few mins with me gisting unlike some others that form like say dem nor dey shit (excuse ma french) She cool. Nice gal. Muna was cool as well. No bad air around d gals.
Meant to say Tiwa killed it!
Dolapo Oni, what a beauty and always keeps it classy. She’s my girl crush.
Chioma is such a pretty woman.
Uti, na wa for this your military pose, u must practice it in the mirror everytime. Muna looks lovely. Banke is definitely pregnant but I hate those hot pink lip gloss on women. Madam Kate, keep looking lovely. Mocheddah, you are stunning.
Last but not the least, Tiwa, has one of the best bodies, her legs are simply HOT.
Wow, I’m late
I was at the event and boy o boy!!! Was it hot! Was so upset! Very uncomfy and had no direction! My verdict and best picks for the night.
Muna – Yes…not bad at all
Stephanie Coker – cute
Sarah ofili – lovely – really lovely
Kiki Kamanu – Fresh on the red carpet
Kaylah – hot!! That babe has a banging figure what?? That picture did no justice, her waist slim, hips out, bum…lovely! She is a cutie! Nice body to the voice I hear on the radio
Elohor – subtle and nice
Ufoma- classy
Month chedda- lovely in all white
Dolapo – very very chic for a small lady!
Kemi Akande & Ifeoma Odogwu – funky fresh
Latasha – not bad
Uti – Apparently looks nice honestly
Yaw- love your outfit – very nice
Chioma Chulwuka – looks fab
Lola Oj – you are a cutie!
Some nameless people did it for me. PS: I think this site should try and get the names of all the guests
Not feeling the following
Olisa – those jeans tho…boring
Vixen Vonne – always a hint of razzzzzzzzness going on in her looks, the hair sucks
Zizi – not that great
Kate( great figure but I would have expected some look on her like Dolapo oni – however she was a great host!
Tara— nope
Tiwa- over exposure – great legs by the way
Eku- looks frail
Lamide Akala- haba, razzzzzz
Daddy uncle Freeze- bad shape, fine face- nice shirt
DJ sose- undecided
Nina and Muka – the hair doesn’t suit your face
Toke- nice dress (I love house of Marie)- bad hair and she looked a bit old, finally see the hands, na wa @ 28,hmm, plus I didn’t like the shoes, too busy and chunky for the dress, could have worn a nice sexy strappy sandal
Ene Lawani – oh well, no curves, pretty face
Oh well, that will be all, Nigerians are getting better, a little here and there and we will get there.
Have a good day y’all.
@ Analyst…if I knew who I were I’d kiss u because for the first time I’m reading an honest commentary of someone who KNOWS exactly what they are talking about and the pedestrian crap often touted by inexperienced eyes on this site. I get sick of the endless praises of what seem to be the obvious eg Tiwa, Eku, for crying out loud Chioma Chikwura?, Dolapo, Elohor….are they really such great dressers or is it another popularity contest? Anyway you were spot on and I’m glad someone out there is thinking outside the box.
Lol!
