BN Red Carpet Fab: Mo Abudu’s Ebony Life TV Launch in Lagos
White & Black
Rita Dominic arrived at the Ebony Life TV launch yellow carpet in one of her best looks yet.
Away from all the dramatic frocks, Rita took a simple approach in white and black. Opting for a tousled up do, smoky eyes and nude lipstick, she styled her one shoulder white top and black pencil skirt with a black belt, silver drop earrings, a silver bracelet, a sparkly clutch and black sandals.

OC Ukeje looked sharp at the Ebony Life TV launch on Sunday in black and white.
He styled his white double breasted blazer with a white-and-black polka dot shirt, a black satin tie, black pants, a silver wrist watch and black shoes.

I was really excited to see Nkiru Anumudu at the launch of the Ebony Life TV on Sunday evening, because she always serves some of the best red carpet looks.
And this was no different. Nkiru who posed with her daughter Zina (in a sexy cut-out black dress) chose a white-and-black checkered dress from Marc Jacobs‘ Spring /Summer 2013 collection.
The beautiful high neck piece which features a sheer skirt, was styled with a white-and-black clutch, a gold wrist watch and white heels. Smoky eyes, nude lipstick and wavy blonde locks finished the look.

Chocolate City Records exec Audu Maikori was also seen in black and white. His white double breasted blazer was styled pretty much the same way as OC Ukeje, save for his plain black shirt.

Hosts – Darey Art-Alade & Dolapo Oni
Dolapo Oni in Mi-Le
TV personality Dolapo Oni co-hosted the show with music star Darey Art-Alade.
She arrived on the yellow carpet in a lime green strapless dress by upcoming design label, Mi-Le. The dress which features a contemporary draping and a slit in the middle, was styled with pulled-back hair, minimal make-up and gold earrings.
Darey Art-Alade
Darey Art-Alade put the D in Dapper as he made his way into the Eko Hotel & Suites on Sunday. He wore a single button black suit, a white shirt, a black bow tie and black shoes.
Dolapo Oni in Ms Makor
When you co-host an event, you’ve got to dish out more fashion fabulousity. Well Dolapo gave us two more looks.
I think this was my favourite look of her at the event. She changed into a pretty black-and-white Ms Makor dress, which features a flared skirt. Still keeping her hair and make-up the same, the look was completed with red heels.
Her third and final look of the night was a canary yellow dress.
The dress which features a plunging neckline, covered by a sheer fabric, was accessorized with gold hoop earrings, a selection of gold bracelets and an eye catching pair of gold shoes.
We are not used to seeing Dolapo in pieces like this – as she often takes a demure approach, so I am glad she shocked us with the dress.
Love it from the front to the Back
Genevieve Nnaji‘s dramatic Deola Sagoe frock was definitely worth a Kodak moment on Sunday evening.
The Nollywood star who opted for a sleek chignon and red lipstick, styled the lace dress which features a sheer skirt and an alluring train, with silver earrings, a silver clutch and black pumps.
Are you a fan of the custom dress?

If you’ve got a body like this, there is surely no crime in flaunting it.
Nollywood starlet Beverly Naya left little to the imagination in a black dress by April by Kunbi. The sequined dress which features a see-through sheer detail from the hip bone and a peekaboo cut on the back, was styled with diamond encrusted earrings and ring as well as a pair of black pumps.
Choosing a top knot, she completed the look with smoky eyes and pink lipstick.

Ruth Osime didn’t let all the pretty-young-things take away all the shine.
She looked resplendent in a royal blue high neck Meena dress which features sequined detailing on the shoulder and waist, a sexy cut-out on the back and an alluring train.
Giving us a taste of the 80s with her chic afro, she accessorized with silver drop earrings, a silver bracelet, a silver ring and a black clutch.

Ladies in Pants
It was Mo Abudu‘s big night – and prior to the event, I anticipated she was going to choose not 1, not 2 but at least 3 gorgeous dresses.
But Mo shocked all by choosing an embellished Deola Sagoe green pant suit through out the event. She styled the outfit which features lace detailing, with silver drop earrings.
What’s your take on Mo Abudu’s look?

Former editor of TW Magazine Kemi Ogunleye chose a one shoulder grey jumpsuit from Mi-Le‘s Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 collection. She paired the piece with gold hoop earrings, an ivory clutch and ivory heels.

Ladies take note, this is how to rock a pant suit. Her black pant suit was styled with a black embellished belt, pearl necklace, silver drop earrings, a crocodile skin green clutch and black shoes.

Is it just me or are their smiles uncontrollably infectious?

Tunde decided on a navy suit, a black shirt and black shoes.

We know Julius is the super star in the Agwu family, but it was his wife Ibiere who had heads turning.
Ibiere dressed for 2 (The couple are expecting their second child) in a red strapless chiffon number. She accessorized with drop earrings, a silver-and-gold coloured clutch and gold sandals.
Julius opted for a grey striped suit, a grey waist coat, a white shirt, a black velvet bow tie and black shoes.

The Little Black Dress
We’ve missed seeing Uche Jombo on the red carpet, so it was to our delight that she attended the Ebony Life TV launch.
Playing it safe in a simple black dress, the Nollywood star styled it with a light blue coral bead neck piece, a gold clutch and black peep toes.
Uche Jombo-R
Celebrity stylist Veronica Ebie-Odeka who styled Genevieve Nnaji, Toke Makinwa, Misi Molu, Dolapo Oni and Zainab Balogun for the event, opted for a black mini dress, which features a slit.

The Nigerian TV personality’s gown which features blush sleeves, a flower detail on the waist and pink tulle skirt was taken from Shakara Couture.
She accessorized with gold earrings and a silver ring. Her signature short cut, smoky eyes and pink lipstick completed the look.

Smoky eyes, highlighted eyebrows and purple lipstick completed the look.

Once a beauty queen, always a beauty queen. Nigerian modelling entrepreneur Elohor Aisien looked simple-yet-classic in a green jersey Roberto Cavalli dress.
Choosing to let her hair down, she styled the dress with gold bracelets and an Alexander McQueen skull knuckle box clutch.

TV personality Eku Edewor looked beautiful in a grey dress by Clan. Opting for a chic up do and red berry lipstick, she accessorized with a pearl necklace, a silver clutch and a pair of burgundy velvet shoes.

When it comes to Nollywood star Kate Henshaw, 40+ is the new 20.
She chose a one shoulder satin blouse and metallic skirt with a thigh high slit. She accessorized with feather earrings, a gold bracelet, an ivory clutch and black shoes.
I am a tad bit disappointed that Kate didn’t opt for another pair of shoes. A metallic heel or gold sandals would have sold this look very well, but seeing her in that outfit, I doubt if anyone will concentrate on the shoes.
Kate Henshaw
M-Net Africa managing director Biola Alabi showed-off her legs in a one-shoulder silver dress by Tony Ward. She paired the dress with silver drop earrings, silver bracelets, a patterned clutch and sparkly heels.

Having a déjà vu moment? Rising singer Zaina arrived on the yellow carpet in a strapless ivory dress by Iconic Invanity.

Yes Tosyn, YES! Media personality Tosyn Bucknor had me swooning with her grey-and-black floor length dress.
She accessorized with drop earrings and a silver ring. Her look was completed with smoky eyes and red lipstick.
I think what makes me love the look is the “I am a Diva” attitude she’s serving on the carpet.
Tosyn Bucknor
Media personality Oreka Godis arrived in a blue floor length dress by Beatrice Black. She styled her dress with gold drop earrings, a gold bracelet and spiked Alexander McQueen knuckle box clutch.

Tiffany Amber‘s “Lily” wrap dress was the it-dress among Lagos most stylish in 2011. Although you may say the piece is so last season, Colette Otusheso who arrived at the event in a red version of the famous piece, made it look oh-so-fresh.
She accessorized with a selection of jewelry, a blue clutch and blue heels. I would have preferred the dress to have been styled with gold heels and clutch, but there’s no denying she looks good.
Colette Otusheso in Tiffany Amber
Events planner extraordinaire Funke Bucknor-Obruthe was also spotted in a red dress. The piece which features lace detailing on the bodice and a figure hugging skirt, was accessorized with drop gold earrings and a gold bracelet.
Her let down locks and red lipstick finished the look.

Work it Bridget! If there was one thing the Nigerian designer made clear on the yellow carpet on Sunday, it’s that no one wears Bridget Awosika like Bridget Awosika.

Tiwa savage, Bridget Awosika, Rita Dominic and Stephanie Coker ( who’s my best dressed btw) all killed it IMO. A few misses here and there but overall a good looking yellow carpet plus the channel is da bomb…..I love it.
Chin Okeke is just lovely. Who is he and what does he do?
He’s a business manager for Lynxxx, Eku, Zainab and Oreka. Also runs a production company.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Aunty Nkiru Anumudu of life! Please keep showing us how to rock runway pieces 😉 One day I shall be in that league #Amen
Muna! Tosyn, Genevieve and the list goes on and on.
I’m loving Dr Sid and Alex’s look! They are both spot on trend!!! Blue is the colour for Summer 13 according to international designers. Big ups Dr Sid. Alex was a classic in black. He always looks mad on the red carpet! LOOOOVVVVEE!!! XX
@Wendy, abeg no kill me with laughter oooo. Loolllllzzzzzzz. Your observations are on point though.
One word, CLASSY!!!!
rita dominic didnt disappoint as usual. I love d simplicity in ha dress sense. She is best dressed for me
Julius Agwu what is that
Can I just say …. I’m here for Chin Okeke!
no no no, fall back hunty, HE IS MINE!

Toke always reminds me of a younger version of Nkiru Anumudu. Always looking bloodcurdling, there is definitely no simplicity in their dictionary, it always have to be overboard. Na wa oh
+1! People talk about Madam Nkiru’s fashion sense and I’m like, for where? Babe always overdoes it between the poor taste in hair and the overdone outfits. Toke looks best when she does less…in these pictures, I just want to stretch her out ’cause her stature is overwhelmed by all she has on.
Mi-le needs to work on draping. Neither of the 2 outfits made by that designer were draped well.
Tiwa, no to the red carpet dress.
Toolz looked lovely, and I love that she and her bf do more PDA now…I didn’t like her before, but evidently she’s open to constant improvement, and that’s always great.
I liked Rita Dominic and Beverly Naya’s outfits a lot.
Mo Abudu gave me the Wendy Williams vibe…not good. Aunty Ruth, no. I also loved Bridget Awosika and Zaina Balogun’s dresses. Najite Dede..empire waists are your friend…just go the Grecian way.
A lot of the women and men looked great. This was definitely a good red carpet…more good than bad. And the hair wasn’t scary either, so yay!
all i see is genny genny genny. she is drop dead gorgeous
Omoni Oboli never comes out right, tho.. na wa
I trust Mo, she got it right and her TV station is on point.
Where on earth is Uti Nwachukwu? hes absence is sooooo unusual.
Everybody looked FAB except Eryca Freemantle! Babe…scratch that….Nigga looked like he’s shrine-bound.
praiz!!!!!!!!!!!! what where you thinking?? 🙁
Please what is Mo Abudu wearing. hmmm Gen should have worn her gown short or have it totally covered instead of sheer….after the knee there was tackiness going on. Toolz your best accessory was your man…he’s damn too gorgeous
Yore gay joor…or just in the metamorphosis stage. Haba that last statement confirms it! Kilode? Which one is go on with your bad self! *hols laff*
Gud one Bella
Dr sid, alex nice one, where was uti?
Tiwa’s dress looks stoopid
Ah Toolz killed it!!!.. E jo…nice
Genny’s outfit did nothing for me. Pls there’s nothing fab about that horrid looking outfit. Muna, Rita, Dolapo’s black dress, and the beautiful Ifeyinwa Ighodalo who looked real good for her age. Gbam.
I pondered…Iconic Invanity…. what a name. Am i alone?
dolapo oni in the black and white dress…. PERFECTION!
Toolz killed it, Tiwa- Not too good…and Kunle Afolayan’s suit combi – not nice at all – would have been better if the bow tie color matches with the color of his pants… most of the men are however looking very dapper!..good job
genny, munachi, dolapo oni in the short dress o,eunice efole; beautiful stunning lovely; everyone looked good though,nice, too many pictures though i could not go through everyone but really nice; bryan okwara; neat; real nice
e gbami ke!!!! wats up wt eryca freemantle??????
Nkiru Anumudu needs some help!
gene,tiwa,toolz,……tiwa neva disappoints me!!
‘If you recall, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Munachi Abii and Toke Makinwa wore the same dress’ *pops alex amosu 250 million Naira champagne* sooooo?!!!!!
Toolz Fab
Chin Okeke is giving me life!!!!!!! *swoon* http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/BN-Red-Carpet-Fab-Ebony-Life-TV-Launch-July-2013-BellaNaija-094.jpg
Iconic Invanity… Her bead work is impeccable, these picture do her pieces no justice:
