The premiere of the much anticipated movie ‘Everybody loves Jenifa’ has everyone talking as the cast of the film and other celebrities and influencers showed up dressed in stunning and glamorous outfits. There were a number of memorable looks at the event which served to further fuel the steady buzz around the movie following its recent promotions, from the release of the christmas soundtrack featuring the cast to the entertaining contents posted across social platforms.

The vibes of the evening perfectly matched the set theme ‘Lagos After Party’. The energy was high and everyone seemed to be having a great time. One of the highlights of the night was the entrance of the cast, each one arriving in style and creating a moment on the carpet. Let’s dive into some of the looks from the event.

The woman of the hour stunned in a heavily detailed mini dress by SOMO, paired nicely with gold sandal heels. The hairdo and make-up was sleek, perfectly complimenting the bold design of the dress and allowing it to be the centre of attention. Her second look of the night, a powder blue sequined jumpsuit, also did not disappoint. As host of the event, she definitely set the standards high for the rest of the guests.

Jenifa’s beau for sure understood the red carpet assignment. The all black look was a lovely blend of edgy and classy. It featured a cropped jacket with the silver studded details at the collar, cuffs and hem and wide legged pants with similar silver stones at the hems. He accessorized with black boots, silver jewelry and of course, his signature.

Undeniably one of the standout looks of the event, she looked radiant and golden. Her champagne gold mini dress by SOMO was covered with diamond shaped paillettes that extended beyond the hem to mimic the popular jellyfish design trend. The hair, makeup and accessories were on point and the look was gorgeously harmonious.

The actor and content creator looked dapper in a forest green velvet two piece set. The long sleeveless top had a beautiful added on detail on the left side which included the red traditional hat that’s synonymous with the actor’s culture. A very nice touch that added character to an already great look.

This was such a fun look and she really brought her A game. The flower details on the mini dress (also by SOMO), and the heels really gave a vibrant and tropical aesthetic that made perfect sense with the cocktail bag. The styling was perfect as it was definitely one of the best looks of the night.

#6. Nancy Isime

Nancy’s look was spot on with the theme and although it was a different take on a red carpet glam, it perfectly encapsulated the vibe of a Lagos night out. It was a black and silver ensemble, with a black fitted turtleneck top, silver stone encrusted hot pants and black tights. The black platform heels, black lipstick and her signature blonde, low cut hairstyle tied it all together nicely.

BangaLee’s look was definitely a banger and he looked great from head to toe. The star of the show was the cobalt blue jacket but we definitely have to show love to the silk widelegged pants as well.

#8. Idia Aisien

Idia looked absolutely regal in her black mermaid dress by Agbons-GL. The fit of the dress was sublime and slicked back hair was the cherry on top, not to mention the money bundle clutch. Tens all around.

#9. Juliana Olayode

Juliana said ‘shine bright like a diamond’ and we’re here for it. The black sequined look featured a fitted long top with side slits, bootlegged pants and an exaggerated shoulder piece with fringes. The shoulder piece made the outfit a little too heavy but aside that, she slayed.

Honorable mentions are Layi Wasabi in a shirt and pants ensemble, Bella Okagbue in a stunning gold fringed dress and Ini Dima-Okojie’s black and rose gold silk gown
