Heating up the Scene in RED!
Billed to perform at the event, music star Waje arrived in a high neck red long sleeve dress. She also wore two gorgeous dresses for her performances. Which of her looks do you like best?
Fashion editor Franka Asindi-Chiedu arrived in red midi dress which features a bow-accented neckline. Sporting bangs, Franka accessorized with a multi-coloured chained clutch bag and nude heels.
Style veteran Nkiru Anumudu wore a long sleeve heart-print dress by Lanvin. Wavy locks, a pink pout, a red clutch and gold-and-black heels completes her look.
Tinsel actress Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi also rocked a red piece. She paired her outfit with chandelier earrings, a black clutch and neutral pumps.
Stylish Gents
Nollywood actor Ramsey Nouah arrived at the show in a single button grey suit.
We’ve got lots of praises for Praiz in this black double button suit. A red paisley shirt, a black tie and shoes completes his look.
Who says men can’t wear sequins? DJ Xclusive definitely proves you he can in this single button blazer at the event.
Keepin’ it Traditional
Ageless Beauties
She’s Got Style
Nigerian designer Kunbi Oyelese dazzled in a tribal sequined dress from her label, April by Kunbi.
On Twitter, TV presenter Yvonne “Vixen” Ekwere announced that her Elegante by Tiannah Styling blue high neck dress and faux fur was inspired by the late Goldie. “Did it just like my Goldie would have wanted me to” she said. Her look was completed with a sleek up do, drop earrings, red clutch and heels.
Designer Ugonna Omeruo looked fab in a white blouse and print shorts. She accessorized with a statement neck piece, an ivory clutch and red heels.
Will you try this look?
Every Girl’s Go-to-Colour (Black)
Pregnant reality star Kim Kardashian rocked a leather mini dress.
We like Wana Sambo‘s play on the little black dress. The dress features floral prints on the sleeves and the neckline.
We haven’t seen former beauty queen Omowunmi Akinnifesi on the red carpet in a while but she came back in style in a black dress with a sheer plunging neckline.
The Red Carpet Double & Triple Effect
We can’t wait for the big day. Nigerian chanteuse Tiwa Savage in Stella McCartney and her fiancé Tee Billz were all smiles at the event.
We are not saying there are together but Studio 53 Extra co-host Eku Edewor and Ebuka Obi-Uchendu look like a perfect pair on the Love Like a Movie red carpet.
TV presenter Fade Ogunro rocked a sequined number while posing with EME star Shaydee.
Skales brought his lady love TJ to the event.
Can anyone tell us who Lami is posing with? The music star attended the event in a black dress with studded shoulders. She paired the outfit with pink sandals.
Comedian Ali Baba and his wife Mary B in a grey floor length dress pose with music star Tosin Martins for the BN Cam.
Nollywood star Emeka Ike rarely makes public appearances with his wife but at Darey Art-Alade’s Love Like a Movie Concert, he brought his better half. Emeka Ike wore a black single button suit while his wife donned a print blouse, blue skirt and red pumps.
Doesn’t he make you want to hit the gym?
TV & Radio Stars
Casual
Nigerian dance queen Kaffy arrived in a sequined blazer, black camisole, jeans and black pumps. She later changed to red outfit for her performance at the event. She posed with her uber cute son for the BN Glam Cam.
Trybe Recors CEO eLDee looked casual in a blue shirt and jeans.
Maria Okanrende rocked a black blazer, a black top and leopard print pants and black heels. Her look was completed with her pixie cut, red lips, a gold necklace and earrings and a black clutch.
Nigerian comedian Tee A also looked casual in a white shirt, jeans and brown shoes. What’s your take on his glasses?
Rap star Weird MC donned a head-to-toe black ensemble.

Let the comments roll in!!!!
ha ha
Yay! BN finally recognised my Maria (Beat FM). been feeling some type of way that they didn’t use to acknowledge her here before. Emeka Ike’s wife is beautiful o! where has he been hiding her. Darey’s concert was well attended o! choi!
OMOWUNMI AKINNIFESI……………………Im in LOVEEEEE. Loving the Chanel esemble. This babe NEVER gets it wrong. I heard she sneaked into the concert, with her posh little behind. BELLA NAIJA please catch her again for us . We WANT to see more of thatttttt HAWTTTTTNESSSSS
Lol all these ball gowns for concert? Toke is like I must show my back!
Shey there was no dress code, ni? Some people are dressed for Black Tie, some for the club and others for the local beer palour. What a mess. I love Kim but she looks a hot mess. I can’t believe I’m saying this but my best dressed is Vixen. She is soooo on point for the event.
ajiristyle.blogspot.com/
Even with that fake fur?
FAKE FUR IN THIS HEAT I begggggg. BUSH GAL. I must be seen.com
Your first statement is very true. there was even ‘a walk to the salon’ dressing there sef. But Vixen! Ha! Who gave her faux wrap oh in that heat! see her shiny face! and her hair! the gel was too much nah!
LMAO … Vixen tried too hard! LOL
Good looking peeps!
lovely pix
Boring pics TBH. Mannie’s hairline needs redemption. Darey’s son is cute. Toolz looks good! Dayo Ephraim smiles like a lady *awks. The Okafor lady is such a joke. Eku woman please take a break,u don’t have to honour every invitation. Praise Jesus Uti is not here.I can’t with the struggle pics. Bye!
Interesting ….
dprodigaldaughter.com
Ramsey Noah took my breath away…. ***dead***
dprodigaldaughter.com
That makes 2 of us o!
Make that three. I love that man!
The pictures many sha…. some people got it right. why some look like someone sent drones to their house to blast all their mirrors. while some over dressed with weaves flowing all over the place. Trust Nigerians they go dress pass the person wey they invite, hmm kim k dress clearly states “I’m not here for fun, let’s snap cope of pics and where my balance at? Let me keep it moving” all the same I hope Nigerians finally got to see her. And I hope it was worth the hype and the money…that’s all I’m saying. otherwise wahala dey
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She even had on comfortable shoes (not her normal high heels) in case she needs to run… I mean literally run… lol
LMAO at comfortable shoes. She didn’t even send… the easiest 500K she has ever made and she didn’t even need to go beyond the ‘just got out of bed’ look. See how this American reject came and used gullible ‘anything overseas’ Nigerians to play football. The international media just turned us into one big joke.
@abies…you said it all lmaoo I literally died at “some look like someone sent drones to their house to blast all their mirrors”
i swear na Dare son tush pass, kaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,see cuteness abeg. n he was well put together,jooooooooooooooor o! can i be ur gurl 4 a minute?*in WAJE’s voice.
OMG! why do i always have to cry for Layole Oyatogun, she should work more on her beauty…even though she appears to be trying too hard, even on her show….Good luck babes!
nkiru animodu abi wetin , u scare me walai . i no fit look u for nite ma
Who is the muscle man, definitely on Steroids.
exactly what i said.
Poor Toke! No friend was around to save her the embarrassment this back display caused her.
but do we need red carpet for concerts?
Thank you !!! Nigerians start doing things and abuse of it a lot. Red carpet for a concert???? Unbelievable. Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol and see them posing lol lol lol lol
Mo Abudu tho’
Apart from a few…i have no words for the rest ….we should have codes for events….
Ramsey = blushes…:)
A lot of women need to extend their creams to their legs and arms. They also need serious moisturising. Too many overdressed people. We are used to seeing nice silhouettes so all those with folds and bulging stomachs look untidy. Darey’s son is so cute. Toke is it your butt padded pants you were trying to show us? Give it a rest. This is one event where the men looked better than the women. Where are Efe Tommy and Mabel Makun? Hope world people haven’t chased them away from the limelight? LOL.
my thoughts too exactly!!!! and if ur laps are not toned, please don’t do anything short….
Nawaoo Naija peeps sabi overdress o . . . Ball gowns for concerts and pls ladies moisturise your knees and legs with Shea butter. Actually the men looked better than the ladies
The back view of toke’s dress isn’t fine at all.
why does this Niyola chick look mgbekerish??? she’s a pretty girl but… smh
I have been thinking the same thing…upon say she dey follow all those cool guys roll…na wah oh!! her hair be like that of a 1999 (polytechnic) campus queen contestant…..in fact her entire outfit!!
LOL!!! My thoughtes exactly, that hair gotta go
I totally agree with you………and its not just here…….its all the time time mehn!….am just not sure what it is but………hmmmm
I’m so done with Naijas and their fakeness. It’s quit embarrasing and disturbing that Dare chose to bring someone who is nothing but a disgrace to boost his show. It doesn’t make sense to see how naijas waste money on trashy things. Even, when big talented stars are paid that much to visit the corrupt country, it’s very disturbing especially when an average Nigerian is suffering let alone a useless someone. I lost all respect for Dare, and ones that think it’s a good move must be idiots. This is a prime example of the reason Nigeria has a long way to go and the West laugh at us because we seem to lack so much of common sense.
Give it a rest would ya… Lots of people bought tickets to see Kim K. The marketing strategy worked. Dare is there to make money and create publicity for himself not you. Not his fault you have a low paying job.
Oh shut it. what makes Kim K a disgrace?
Some dressed on point while some probably did not get the dress code, but they all look good.
thebanquethall.blogspot.com
Props to a lot of the guys. They actually tried to bring thier A game to this red carpet as opposed to the usual razz looking nonsense. Some failed, but hey, they get an E for effort.
Best Dressed:
Ugonna Omeruo pretty much killed it. Very chic and appropriate for the event.
Wonu Okoye – hot, hot, hot
Omowumi A – Kept in simple, and looks great. Hair, makeup and everything.
Maria Okarende – love it all. Very chic
Ramsey Noah – dapper, dapper, dapper
DJ Exclusive – Gets major props for that sequin blazer.
Dayo Ephraim – Very clean.
Mr. Art – Alade himself.
Eku Edewor – Yes ma’am. Love it all
Worst Dressed:
Zaina – What’s going on? Did you come from your wedding?
Niyola – That ridiculous hairstyle just isn’t working for you. Dress + shoes aren’t working either
Tosyn Bucknor – Looking very “somehow” as usual
Olisa Adiabua – No surprises here.
Umm, I really like Gbemi OO but she needs to start buying things that work for her body. This dress is too short, too tight and does nothing to flatter her frame.
And as for Yvonne Vixen, who actually looks nice for once, and then had the nerve to spoil it with that faux fur in Nigeria heat. errr nah!
Btw, did anyone else catch this? – Lady on the right
http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/162.jpg
Yes, no pant!
Most lookmvery radiant n lovely
does it look like TOKE is wearing a butt pad? Or maybe its just me.Hate seeing panty line (wear a thong)
Kim’s dress is a NO BUENO situation– far from flattering
Hello Tosin, is it possible you help me with a good reason why you think Kim Kadarshian is a ‘disgrace’ and why she’s also a ‘trashy thing’? And how about we skip the sex tape issue (the last time I checked, she was dating Ray J when they filmed it and I don’t think she has had any tape(s) after that).
Its just a concert and some ladies dress like they are going for a ball. Na wa!!
dressed***
honey I think they are dressed for the red carpet and not necessarily the concert.
well they were going to literally going have a ball at the concert…:-D
You need to read comments on yahoo,about Kim visit to nigeria..hilarious,they were literally begging us to keep her.Anyway BN great pix,you are the best.Zaina is definately the most pretty,when I first saw the group pix,I kept saying who is the chick? Now I know better,more pretty than most Miss Nig I have seen thus far,but the dress,hell No? I think the group of girls on the “Moves” do it better for me,very simple but chicks,esp the first gal,Jennifer!There are definately way prettier gals than una Kim k.
Wow she’s really pretty, this is how to wear a weave.
I really love it unlike the winch/mammy water style that Aunty Halima likes to carry on her head. Halima you better ask for the contact of her hair stylist.

I didn’t know Popeye came to nigeria as well!!
I know right! Or is it Jersey shore…lmao
This guy and his Hulk Hogan pose. He’s always fuming and looks like he’s going for a boxing/wrestling match.
He makes me laugh whenever I see him on the red carpet.
Dotun biko relax and smile for once. Try to look happy or is it every time that someone dey vex you?

Eku please step away from my man Ebuka. Thank you very much. Lol
Joan rivers!… We soooooo need u right now
But is this a concert or an award ceremony? Love Eku’s style,Ugonna’s, TJ and Wonu
thats lami’s husband!!!
in this day and age skales is still wearing bandana..he now did to match with the shirt..
Latasha Ngwube looks like a meal that wasn’t well prepared. Ugonna Omeruo looks fabulous and is easily the best dressed! Everyone else just attended. And we really could have done without Kim K at this show; it’s hard to reconcile her to the fabulousness we normally see on E!
so i guess in Kims head , Nigerians probably don’t know how to dress up for events like this , so i would just wear rubbish and do nothing to my hair and apply no make up ….. Thumbs up to everyone who came . She probably had a surprise look throughout the event . MUMU !
Yvonne is wearing fur stole in that hot Nigeria? O_O
Aunty Nkiru I’m feeling that YSL toe cap heels. They’re divine.
Skales is looking like a misguided Asap Rocky fan. That look isn’t well done at all.
is it me or omowunmi gained weight???? but she still looks great!!!!!!! Ramsey Noah is yummy!!!!!!!
Don jazzy shut the darn place down in that outfit
Nice over alll pictures…. a little complaint though.
Less of the excessive long hair …..
Some of the dresses are strangling the ladies wearing them. …
Hmmmmmn I no fit shout! Few hits n plenty messed up looks. 1st lady of EME niyola plsssss I beg u get a stylist haba!!!
The akinifesi miss nigeria girl nailed it….always looking descent…..some of these Niger ple sef, do u check Ur mirrors at home at all? U don’t wear a dress cos everyone is wearing same, before u buy go to the fitting room and check b4 taking it home…..at least the return policy works abroad if u got it there……….weird MC, u r getting older and it shows, pls u need to start dressing feminine cos don’t see u wearing all that male thingy till u r 60
Tin foil Toolz dare not move close to a microwave oven, lol
Omygoshhh!!! Who is Dayo Ephraim??? What a breath of fresh air!!! *i’m in love*
Toke needs to stop showing up everywhere! wetin now??
Come to think of it, Don Jazzy is fresh ooo! Eh? fine boy no phhimples.
i love gbemi of beat fm but i’m sooo disappointed………..what the heck was she wearing……
worst dress ever, ANNIE IDIBA. i think she needs a stylist asap before her wedding day.
Ugonna killed it… Simple
The most appropriately dressed. Casual but sexy casual… I like!
I wish he brought Sade over instead. Would have made more sense.
Toke actually looks nice…..but seriously, do these ladies have mirrors in their houses at all????? + it’s a concert not an award nite or something
Ugonna, DJ Caise and Ramsey Noah= best dressed
OMG!!! Ify Anumudu needs a stylist ASAP!!!
Totally loving this ankara overall on the white lady
http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/IMG_8976.jpg
Nigerian ladies confuse me at times! I could have sworn LLAM was a concert! That said;
Xclusive, fine boy:*, Love loveee the sequined blazer!
Chidi Mokeme, Red shoes…..*sigh* I ‘kent’ deal!
Mo Abudu, something’s just not right!
Toke, please dont be putting no non existent behind in our faces! You need to be schooled in the act and art of posing! *ugh!*
Vixen, its a concert na, not the grammys!
Niyola’s shoes and hair, no!
Kim, annoyed the hell out of my with this look!
Omowunmi, fine girl, we recognise mami!!!!
Aunty Matse, Mbanuuuuuuu!
Skales just needs to stop!!!!!! All his fashion faux pas be killing me!
Tosyn Bucknor, Nah!
Why does Dotun always look like he’s about to pick a fight? Oga that stern look has been overplayed…Next?!
Dare Art Alade and Kaffy’s sons are cuties!!!!
Waje loving your dusty gold dress. Nura,me see u. Kim K,weldone,your looks actually brought out the fact dat you had no biz here.
lolest!!!
What is that pretty girl doing with Skales the razzoid????
i saw d lady wt d fux coat and didnt even know it was vixen, she was walking like a cat!
d show is not so impressive, no matter what people say
Dare was obviously so arrogant to even face d audience that paid a whooping N30,000 to come watch d show, all his attention was on d VIps and VIPPS, wt N30,000 ticket people were buying Farouz for N700, not even a bottle of coke, they spent their whole money to draw Kardashian to Lagos and she was a hot mess @ d event, who cares who dd d 5seconds welcome speech? all we wanted was a good show for our hard earned dough!
Tuface can never go wrong in my sight, he was d only one that moved towards our side on the stage to salute, i dont see myself going to watch any darey’s show again, i dont v any bad belle against him but truth must be told, if people dont tell u guys d truth, I will, half of the show the people that paid N30k dd not see nor enjoy cause the drama cubicles were directly opposite the VIPs and all we saw all thru was darey and d theatrical jargons, we did not even see other stars – okay maybe Waje, if that event was Tuface’s event, he wld v jumped out of the stage and sing into every corners, why wld u boned as if its a crime to buy 30k ticket to watch ur show???? arrant nonsense!!!
My boy PRAIZ!!!!!!!!!!!! I <3 U!!!!!
Please that over buffed up white guy below Emeka Ike is just so wrong! Abeg, he no try!!!
-___-
99% of these ladies look very rough and look like they need a good wash….why do they all look like the just rolled out of bed not the ‘morning’ but the day after the night before?!? …..darey your fly looks undone smhhhhhhead
Wonu Okoye loos like a woman…sensual ,elegant and beautiful…marriage suits her well

BEst dressed lady: Eku
slits are not meant for everyone. flabby, cellulite infested thighs please beware.
Tired of you bloody armchair critics. Half the time on these red carriers, it’s as hot as the sahara out there. Photography in nigeria @ events end up looking poor and badly taken. Angles and lighting is what photography is about and u guys take people apart w/o a second to think! Also I daresay a good percentage of you guys on this forum have NO clue as to style or fashion.
i cant shout…nice reading d comments
Dunno about u guyz buh Ifeanyi Dike J did it for me. Very cute as always but e no dey sweat?
kiss kiss……………………………..i see u representing fashion layole
Nothing do u Praiz
U r always lookin good Layola STV tinz!!!!!!
Emeka Ike’s wife……. something wrong somewhere
I’m sure Kimmy would have been surprised to see Nigerians looking so stylish and classy. Next time she won’t come to Nigeria looking like she’s mourning the death of someone. Not even one jewellery. Aba Kim K…..
Thank you Ije!!!tot i was the only one that noticed the cutie…Hotness!
firstly,i’d like to say that i really like the way some of the male celebrity combined their outfit together and make a chunk statement viz-Dare Art Alade,Dayo Ephraim,Ebuka Obi Uchendu and not left out dj xclusive baby,jimmy jatt and dj Casie they all gave out their best in their respective displayed posture. pretty sad sound sultan,Ali baba,and Ay just couldn’t got their out fit right this around as the look doesn’t seems to appeal to me. having forgotten they are role model in their field has made it more compulsory to be more detailed in their dressing mode as “appearance is the index of your recognition. thumbs up to the women i think you all came out looking bright,toning, stunning and elegance. perhaps, i can’t begin to start telling the women how indeed i feel about them…indeed y’all are african queen .pareto /male/lagos- nigeria.
