Its the first BN Red Carpet Fab of 2010 and we are totally excited to be kicking off with this!

On Sunday 17th of January 2010, Ex-Beauty Queen Nike Oshinowo launched her fitness DVD “Fit, Forty and Fabulous”.

The event totally lived up to the billing.

It was held at uber-fab restaurant Medici in Victoria Island, Lagos.

It was an intimate, women’s only event which was graced by many fabulous Nigerian women of all ages.

The event kicked off with guests engaging in chitchat while enjoying cocktails and champagne.

Up next, the MC, Jason Nwoga charmed the guests with his witty anecdotes and then the DVD was officially reviewed  by Dr. Doyin Abiola who still looks gorgeous and fit in her 60s – Definitely a great testament to the power of exercise and healthy living. Guests including Nollywood stars Genevieve Nnaji and Rita Dominic shared their fitness secrets and then a montage from the DVD was shown and received with applause.

Guests then tucked into the delicious Medici food.

Editors Note: The food was good!

Overall, it was a great event!

On the fashion front, guests ‘rocked’ an outstanding mix of international and Nigerian designers. Check out the full BN Red Carpet Fab from the event!

You can totally tell that this was her event! Nike Oshinowo looked amazing in her RM by Roland Mouret – Aspre Sheath Dress. The Autumn red colour of the dress is very complementary to her skintone and the cutaway detail at the hips creates a wonderful silhouette. We love this look!

We might have to send Hauwa Mukan to “Ituen Basi rehab” in 2010! In 2009, she rocked red carpets in Ituen Basi and it seems she is maintaining the trend in ’10. All jokes aside, she looked great. We love the Anna Wintour-eque fringed bob.
