For this look , the songstress wanted to embody African goddess, so she went with a braided  crown known to be the traditional style of the Congo's Mangbetu women , this was almost a killer outfit ,except that the dress she was supposed to wear to compliment the head piece, didn't come through for some reason, so this dress right here was so  last minute ,the dress looked okay, but definitely not the best choice for that head piece. However the head piece was giving us so much  life and the gold accessories as well were so on point with this look. the head piece is also similar to what international star; Beyonce wore for musical video "sorry".  

Details of the outfit;  wearing lloydhotsense and custom made head piece by zubby definititon, while Soul Of Urban People AKA S.O.U.P came up with the  concept.




Now for the final outfit she donned this amazing piece by south African Clothing brand - Maxhosa . This is from their Spring/summer 2017. We really loved the details in this particular dress, the tassels , the colors . Just gorgeous. We would have preferred a simple hair though for this particular outfit, just let the outfit do all the talking. Also guys we stalked the instagram page of the clothing brand @Maxhosa, amazing amazing pieces they've got. Y'all should check them out.


For her final look the Nigerian star went for a pink strapless maxi gown and a head piece which in her words was inspired by a snapchat filter.

Overall ,we loved all her looks, she stayed true to her style, we also love how she incorporated little pieces of African traditional clothing into them  , when we heard she was hosting we couldn't wait to see what she comes up with. There were definitely some outfits that could have used more work though. Congratulations Yemi on your win and shoutout to all the designers and her stylist boogyboi , most of them are from south Africa, They did a good job. 
favorite outfit - Her performance outfit; the red pantsuit.
