Style Inspiration: What To Wear For This Weekend’s Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards

The Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards, created to recognize and celebrate African film and TV talent, is set to hold this Saturday, 9 March 2013 at the Eko Exhibition Centre and with days away from the event, the fashion enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to the red carpet glamour and elegance.

While the organizers are hard at work creating a brilliant night of African film and TV glamour to celebrate the sensational talents of the continent’s rising and established stars, we are here to help make sure your ensemble is just right for the night. The dress, the shoes, the accessories, hair and more are all things to consider as the day draws near. The OnoBello.com team is here to help with a style inspiration that would help achieve a complete red carpet look for the event.

It’s hard to go wrong with a black dress, but instead of falling back on the usual simple black dress why not glam it up and put a little extra in it like Meg Alabi has done with this flowing sequined dress. Her hair has been done into a retro do with shoulder waves that frame her face. She looks grown and lovely. For a long dress like this there is no need to go for overkill with your shoes as they will be more hidden than seen.

The white dress is usually hard to pull off, for obvious reasons, but Stephanie Okereke has been able to look stunning in this one arm midi dress with a daring thigh slit. White and red would always be a masterpiece, and with her red peep-toes, red clutch red lips and bohemian waves, she is an inspiration for the sophisticated and chic red carpet look.

Sometimes it’s good to experiment with your playful and fun side; Annie Idibia shows us that in the short tube gold sequined dress. She has her hair flowing in long locks and has toned down the gold with black strappy shoes, because there is such a thing as too much gold.
