wow what can i say L
frankly, i cant get Tiwa’s outfit off my mind. Not cos i like/love it. *eyebrows raised*
http://www.LailaIkeji.com
Laila, I think someone forced Tiwa to wear that outfit.
abeg wetin b this……… y are they all looking tacky…… sure they are not nigerians
Miss Jaie I know where ur purse is from…*lips sealed won’t spill*
Hehehehe.. Primarni tins 😉
Its from Primark and so what? All you people and stereotypes, because she’s a singer she can’t carry a primark bag?
Eyah…see sad souls!!
People like you are the reasons why runz are on the rise amongst female artistes. You want her to live above her means?
@ Ada: Did anybody say there’s something wrong with her carrying a Primark purse? I own a black version and aint nothing wrong with shopping from Primark! It could’ve been from Zara, Next, Newlook…where ever! and someone will still say hey! I know where u got that from!
If it had been a more expensive purse now people would still make noise about being materialistic. You mah that you can identify the purse, what were you doing in Primark? Or you were too cool to enter and simply saw somebody who knew somebody that had the purse?
In other news, Mo’Cheddah ALWAYS ALWAYS makes me smile and Jocelyn Dumas…I really wish I could hate this beech but I can’t *sigh*. Tiwa’s dress needs to be prayed over.
Ms Jaie looks good jor! I have the exact same clutch bag from TopShop so what are you guys even fighting about…and if it is from Primark who cares…do these artists even style themselves kmt Free the girl jor, she can sing
(gasp!!) is Lynxx pointing at Chin Okeke’
That ankara cap/tie/umbrella combo…it’s erm…very…erm…
WE NEED JOAN RIVERS HERE….plz pay 2 b dressed stop wearing wat u fink is nice
This three came out from the same coven…lol http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6264.jpg
and they are really feeling themselves. smh
Why shouldn’t they? I’m pretty sure you don’t look half as pretty as them. I’mma have to type in CAPS for you to get it into your thick skull: BEAUTIFUL WOMEN are allowed TO WEAR WHATEVER they so please to… Guess what, they pulled it OFF! Judgmental people. FYI, Naija red carpet ain’t better, with that hot mess you people wear called Brazilian hair.
LOL HEY CUZZ
More like they raided a vintage lost and found shop! LOL!!
they all look like ayamatanga!!! loool
na wa oooo, some of these chics took tacky to a whole new level a few good peeps and too many disasters….I was about to give MoChedda a warning wen I stumbled on more serious DISASTERS….*Mo u’ve been saved*
1)Aro meta redefined -from benin city to SA…. http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6264.jpg
2) I have no words….I weak- wats in dat pant??!!
http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6343.jpg
3) TIWA On the one night that u step out with ur mum to an award show, u choose to look like a high priestess???
4) …and Captain Jack Sparrow forgot his bride!!! http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6145.jpg
6) Old papa youngie, he brings a new meaning to ‘no country for old men’- lost beyond words: http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_5760.jpg
FINALLYYYY SOME GORGEOUS CANDY..
1) Miss Jaie for the first time EVA u did your curves serious justice witht he perfect flesh tone garment….Loving it! http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6353.jpg

Brymo (got the experimenting just right with this outfit!) http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6131.jpg
I rest my case…
lmao..u r one funny babe!
wow!! you should be shot…!! -_-
na wa o, dat white girl with her nipples sticking out, hmmmm
Dis is d first time i’m seeing mo’cheddar luk dis luvly
i dnt knw wat dese pple r tinkin of dat dey all look tacky…only some lookd okay.
tiwa sef looks very somehow plus ha faze…d powder looks out of place.
what is all this mess?… almost everyone looks either tacky or trashy or both. Like not even one person looks nice. The ones that might look ok, if you look well you’ll find a fault…
The guy in the suit/umbrella/cap/tie combo is definitely from Ghana -_-
no he is from nigeria. why? do you recognize your own people anymore?
CC baby!!! Congrats Ice, U made us proud. Onoja even went. J-town 4 life!!!
Dey all look lyk JUJU kai….
A whole lot went wrong in South Africa that weekend.
Congrats to all the winners….by the way BellaNaija, the lady you tagged as “Nkhensani Nkosi” is actually Unathi Msengana…
I’m in for weird and unconventional looks and that was why i used to really like Denrele’s sense of quirky style. But now, it just seems so wrong. Did I grow up or he just got even more weird?!
lol….
So Ice Prince hosted the show wearing sun glasses? Okkk…..
Kabelo looks good, I dint recognize him without his dreads …..
Mo’Cheddah!!!! You go girl!
http://dprodigalchild.wordpress.com/
Brymo looked really good
Mocheddah and Eku look great.
Man, some of these South African women are gawj.
I’ve been seeing this girl all over the red carpets lately. I like her style http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_6355.jpg
Thats my Cuz..CEO of BlinxLashes and MissJaie’s manager
Elegance impersonified…
1.) I have seen Lelo Boyana look way better on many occassions.
2.) Eda Rose should have come in her birth suit. Their is very little difference.
3.) Fashion in SA is way off the mark and way behind Naija. These pics make for very poor viewing.
4.) Lalla Hirayama looks gorgeous.
5.) Bouga Louv looks edible (according to my female companion).
6.) I was impressed with Brymo’s experiment.
7.) Ice Prince seems to forget he is no longer a teeneager. Hip Hop artsite or not.
Na 9ja gal she b
Na 9ja gal she b???
http://bellanaija.static.premiumhost.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Channel-O-Music-Video-Awards-2012.jpg
She looks amazing!
I think Mo’chedda’s dress is not very flattering jare. Makes her waist look super-straight.
With love
Tiwa, u’re a beautiful woman but you need to fire your stylist asap!
Joselyn Dumas is the true definition of african beauty!!!!
Eku looked a hot mess! Ms Jaie actually looked good. Mo cheddah was doing her thing! lol like she was going to oscars. what was Lynxx pointing to? abeg oo! lol
Chei, Tiwaoo biko nu, whaata happen? Are u a priest or princess of the sea. Abeg no waste time fire that girl VEE now now.
I was not aware that Mobutu sese seko has resurrected, with an umblera(umbrella) Nawa for fashion SMH
cool,Tiwa is fab!
http://www.thestunninglady.blogspot.com
SA has Beautiful ladies *licks lips* but the fashion is nt that good
So tiwa never do dis again!!!plus y did she rush award like that saying here I am winning award lwkmh!,mo u no come say u are here receiving your award
Cannot capture my thoughts in words.
Some made out alright about 3 or 4 ladies, the rest should get a good hairdresser first perchance we might see what they have on as clothes.
Definitely an eclectic bunch
That Farouq guy sure is fine……..loads of good looking guys everywhere……Mo’Cheddah looks gorg
http://www.bexluvs2dress.blogspot.com
why do i feel bored looking at these pictures?
besides, where id Davido?
is*
Brymo looked greattttt! Mo’cheddah looked good too. The guest in a red dress, a slim lady looked fab.
http://theglamfile.blogspot.com
Speechless… *and not in a good way :/
Of all the other ChannelO VJs, I think Derele is the most prominent and trust me, he pulled off those heels (I think they are Jeffrey Campbell) and when he stepped up onstage, he stole the spotlight and made Sarkodie look invinsible!
The girl from Tanzania, Jokate I think is just a Nigerian artiste groupie. Well sweetie, it’s not a quick shot at fame. I can’t even recall the others. As for Lala Hirayama and Dineo, they were awesome. Watched them live on the Vuzu channel. What was Eku doing there? And where is the Channel o boss who sucks up to all the Nigerian artistes? We hear Lynxx is her new catch and he might be hosting the awards next year. Biola Alabi, Abeg caution that Leslie whatever she is called. She only chooses to play videos she has a special likening for.
DJ Zinhle looks FAB! Vimbai’s looks like the downtrodden witch from Notre Dame. MoCheddah again? #spits. Overall, you could tell that CuannelO is simply patronizing artistes they have a likening for, not real talent as always. Please switch us to VH1 or even Trace Abeg!
some folks just like blabbing…difficult intentional s.

Tiwa, worst dressed as usual these days! Lynxxx looks the same in all of his red carpet pics on bella. Same pose! Yawn. Jocelyn inhale or get better body magic. Girl with short blonde hair and black gown, best.
#TiwaSavage Darling, That Camel Ryder Called From Dubia,His Camel Wants His Blanket Back…That Outfit Is A “No Bueno Situation”
Oh—– Some of those outfits i “SHANT” ( yes i said SHANT ) comment on….Most Of The Locals Dressed Wayyy Better Than The Celebrities…
