Celeb spotting.

since two thousand and five, i have wondered what ex-MBGN (Most Beautiful Girl Nigeria) Omowunmi Akinnifesi has been up to. I mean, she doesn't show up on ad campaigns, nollywood doesn't seem to have adopted her and yet, red carpets draw her like a magnet! there was her thing on Nigeria's dancing with the stars a couple of years ago....

anyway the only reason she's made the haute topics is some of those pageant classes seem to have left their style marks on this young celubutanté.

case in point, this long flowing red dress with what looks like pleated detail:

now, while all the local magazines went crazy over it, the pleated look and the black belt i definitely coulda done without. love the train though.

designed by one Ohimai Atafo, it is basically just another short tube dress but i confess to loving the gold detail in the fabric, and that let's-see-how-we-can-spice-this-up bow on the side of her boob.

whoever her stylist is did a great job with the layering of her accesories. the cocktail ring works with the entire ensemblé, but i'm not in love with that clutch purse.

all that however, it is a far cry from this yellow-carpet miss:
