The long awaited AFRICAN MAGIC VIEWERS CHOICE AWARDS (AMVCA) 2017, has finally happened guys , we are so excited for all the winners of the night and we want to say congratulations to all of them. 

Yes! Without further ado , your favorite fashion advisers are here to execute our fashion duties by dissecting all the glitz and glamor of the night. We must say we are certainly impressed with all the celebrities that stepped out this year, they definitely brought their A game! ,they also stepped up their style squad this year and some ,well they fell short of our expectations , and others, we were just "on the fence" about their looks. 

Well, let's get this started shall we

Nana Akua Addo                                                                                                                                    

Our best dressed woman at the Amvca 2017 , goes to the fabulous ghanaian Actress Nana Akua Addo , She ruled the red carpet literally in a haute couture masterpiece by ,The gown features gold embellishments at the bodice and rose petals on the bottom half of the skirt, the intricate details of this gown is just mind blowing!!!! , she is the perfect example of what a Celebrity should look like on an award  night like this, we fondly call this night "the Nigerian Oscars" and as such the night demands class, sophistication,poise , the very best of the best and thats what Nana has given us.


 She looked every bit a star that she is , we couldn't help but wonder how she sat on those chairs inside the main event, well darlings, this is the price you pay for fashion. You go big or you go home.
Face beat to the gods by -
Her  stylist did an amazing job by selecting just a set of an amazing pair of earrings matching the embellishments on the gown and that's all she accessorized with guys, which was the best decision , letting the dress take centre stage. We also couldn't think of a better hairstyle than this ponytail she has on, gorgeous gorgeous.

                                                        Royalty...


Toni Tones

Second on our best dressed list , the beautiful singer and actress Toni Tones has always been one to come with a bang and last year was an exquisitely fashionable year for her, she was just slaying our poor hearts every time she stepped out which is why we aren't surprised that she is here on our Best dressed list with this "Belle of the Ball" number from Yemi Shoyemi, we always appreciate a good sweet heart neckline that reveals just the right amount of skin and we especially are in love with the ball part of the dress which is drenched in ruffles  ... she exudes the aura of a queen and is giving us fashion realness.
It is no shock that this hand made work of fashion art took four months to make.


Her hair does complete justice to this look and her Make up was beaten to perfection by servingfaces_ng
She is the direct visual image of why we love and appreciate fashion so much, we applaude the ever evolving and ravishing style of Toni Tones.                                                   


Somkele Idhalama


One of the many vivid reasons why we here at FPN love this lovely actress Somkele Iyamah, is not just because of her beauty or her gigantic talent as an actress but also because of her audacious sense of style, she never fails to be breathe-taking.

She manages to always pulls off regal looks without appearing too dated or retro, with one look at her on the red carpet , we are instantly reminded of the old hollywood glamour days but this doesn't change the fact that she always looks very modern and futuristic in her style.
Somkele came to the AMVCA'S 2017 with an attitude of  "I am here to slay " and boy did she slay. Somekele  is nothing short of perfection. We love the dress so much.

It is the right hue and it fits her body like a glove. We love the cut out at the top right side of the dress, the bold gathered ruffles on her left hip area and the slit right beneath it. The slit is exactly what the dress needed to take that dress to a whole new level and that addition of just a little  train is brilliant.  We are in awe of this ensemble and we cannot help but duff our hats for Somkele and Andrea Iyamah. Can we not go into how perfect her hair and make up is because we might end up discussing that all day long lol.

More looks we loved on the red carpet....


Sharon Ooja
We love this grecian inspired look, sharon ooja Egwurube has on , the gown features a long sleeve and a V neck. She styled the look with a gold clutch. She looked so gorgeous and we love the minimal accessories alot of these celebrities are sporting, letting the dress do all the talk. The dress was definitely figure flattering and the gold color flatters her skin tone , it's almost like she's dripping in gold. We love it.

Guys we were absolutely shocked to see actress, Toyin Abraham in this beautiful creation by 2207 by tbally , they styled her look for the night. We've gotta say this is the best we've ever seen Toyin look. She should stick with this guys they absolutely know what looks good on her.
This pink blush lace ball gown looks exquisite on her , she looks classy and sophisticated, she rocked a short bob hair for this look and her waist was accentuated with a gold embellished belt and she accessorized with a gold clutch and gold drop earrings, she looks so charming and gorgeous. Her makeup was by oge-ara makeover, peep that glow!!!
Her glam team really brought this home.



Linda Ejiofor
                                         
Lilian AFegbai  sparkled in a green lace mermaid inspired floor length, , off shoulder gown with long sleeves. we chose this look because it was simple but really gorgeous and she really lit up the red carpet in this number. This is what you wear on the AMVCA red carpet.

Linda Ejiofor
                     

Linda Ejiofor looked stunning in this figure flattering  purple dress by SamuelNoon, this gorgeous sequin creation  features a one hand strap , sweetheart neckline, a cutout at the back and a train. Linda looked simple but sophisticated in this look, her makeup artist kabitimakeup , went for a dark smokey eye and purple pout. Her look was put together by the StyleInfidel.

Eku Edewor
  Eku Edewor giving us the "i'm back" look, oh how we have missed your slayage on the red carpet, we want to also use this opportunity to say a huge congratulations on the birth of your baby.
Eku looked effortlessly chic and stylish in this angelic white pantsuit from StyleTemple , the gorgeous dress features a half full skirt and a choker neck, with an illusion mesh fabric  , it's almost like her skin which was the whole point. We love how this outfit showcases her gorgeous slim figure and good skin. She went for a blunt cut side part hair and for her makeup she channelled a gothic look, we loved the contrast of the dark lippie and her white dress. She looks beautiful and motherhood suits her.
P.s bridal inspiration anyone ???

Destiny Amaka
          

wow!!! Destiny Amaka looks flawless in this halter neck sparkling lace dress by Esosa stores , sporting a slick back hairstyle with silver accessories and a half full pink skirt. This figure flattering dress does her so much justice she looks beautiful, like the dress was poured on her and it just fits perfectly. We heard she was on some weight loss journey and we want to say good for her. We are all for healthy living and looking and feeling good.

The Men

These are Some of the best dressed mem on the red carpet, we love how some of the men switched up their looks this year, from bright colored jackets to the all time color combo "black and white" , coming to America inspired looks, African touch , plaids , we celebrate their style and beauty.

Bold colors

                                                      Bryan Okwara

Model and actor , Bryan okwara looked absolutely handsome in a purple suit by Ouchaholics, he styled this look with a black shirt and black shoes, with gold cap toes. We especially loved this look, because of the bright color, we love when men take bold steps like this with colors, it shows uniqueness, he definitely stood out on the red carpet.



                                                            Uti Nwachukwu


Sir Uti himself who proved to us his love for colors as he rocked two different colourful suit pieces from two different designers.
Uti isn't new to the fashion industry at all so he knows his style, his body type and exactly what suites him. He also has a very versatile sense of style, he's been known to try out various fashion trends and slay in them all .
His first outfit for the AMVCA'S is by EMMYKASBIT. This handsomely tailored piece of green suit that was custom made for Uti is all about comfortable, class and fitting, he paired this look with a black pocket square , a black shirt and tie as well as black shoes.
His second look for the night is by designer Caesar Couture, he wore this burnt orange double breasted suit with confidence like no other and we see why, the fitting on him is impeccable and for a man of noir the colour definitely did him justice, Uti looked dapper and well groomed. He paired this look with a white shirt, black bow tie, black pocket square and black shoes. Uti's style was definitely a winner that night and we respect him for putting in that extra effort to look sleek at the AMVCA 👏 👏 👏
Guys we would like to know which look is your favourite among the both looks?

Plaid

Chris Okagbue

Also on the best dressed list is actor Chris Okagbue wearing a blue plaid blazer by designer SAMMIELLE COUTURE.
Chris's style game is always clean cut and smooth, So it's no surprise his AMVCA red carpet look is this tasteful.
He paired his look with a white shirt and black bowtie, black pants and shoes.
His ensemble exudes elegance and ease. He definitely stood out for us
White and Black
                                                       Ik Ogbonna

Next up is IK Ogbonna, Ik is one that has an impeccable style, I don't think that he has ever let us down fashion wise but be sure that if he does we will be giving him some serious whoppin because it's even way more upsetting when a straight slayer goes and messes things up but we know that isn't his portion lol.

For the last three years IK has consistently worn Custom made Jason porshe suits/ blazers for the AMVCA'S , the IK and Jason Porshe union is a match made in fashion heaven and we pray that no one puts an asunder lol.
This year IK came to steal hearts in this black and white number, his white blazer featured a black satin shawl lapel which he paired with a black velvet bow tie and a red rose bud lapel pin. He looked dashing and we applaude his consistent slayage on the red carpet.

                


"Coming To America" inspired Look.


                                                       Daniel k Daniel

                                                       Gbenro Ajibade

Seeing this men on the red  carpet brought back good 'ol memories of one of our favorite movie of all time "Coming To America" . Their look certainly was inspired by prince Akeem Joffer of Zamunda kIngdom.
We especially love the ensemble of the firtan, his look was well thought out and the color combo was perfect!!!!
We felt Gbenro Ajibade's jacket should have been longer to really channel the prince Akeem look,but looking at it again, we felt a modern touch to it and hence we loved it.
We absolutely love this trend, it was certainly lovely to see this on the red carpet, unique and different from the usual "suit and tie" we always see.


The "Almost there" Looks

This category includes those celebrities that almost made it to our "lovely" looks on the red carpet , except for the fact that their stylist missed some important details in their outfits, which is quite unprofessional and hence here we are.

                                                         Mercy Johnson

                                                            Dress on Model

...And first on that list is The talented actress Mercy Johnson. This black gown is certainly not for her age group at all, certainly would look better on someone in their 50's or 60's, secondly the dress was too tight. Thirdly for someone with lovely assets like Mercy, a lower neckline suits her better, granted the neckline of the dress originally is too low, it's meant for someone as slim as the model  but  at the same time the camisole she wore , should have been lower this high neck does her gorgeous curves no justice.

Dress from - @houseofjahdara_



Hello! We don't understand what was up with her style team , i mean look at the hair, you can literally see , either thats the mesh cap you wear underneath the wig or the whole damn lace poking out! This is just unprofessional!!!!


We just can't believe she's on this list, we're heartbroken guys. Sika Osei always makes it to our best dressed list. Darling what happened?? who did this to you?? The bodice part of this dress looked god , however the sleeves are ill fitting, they were poorly sewn. The fabric itself, just na wa o . But we loved her hair and makeup it was so gorgeous.

Worst Dressed

                                                          Simi

Okay!!!! lets break this down, simi darling, honey ,boo boo , sit down and listen, this is not the dress you wear to the AMVCA'S, no boo don't do this again... the after party maybe, ... even the after party sef, the dress isn't cute , it's not pretty, it doesn't flatter your curves or skin tone. It does nothing for you!!! What tailor made this horrific dress , and the hair , girl is you playing with our feelings or what.
You already don' rocked this hair to BBA, i mean you couldn't wear a wig or something. *sigh* get you a good stylist hunnay, get you a style squad with a pretty good knowledge of fashion, this dress would have been good, if you worked with a "fashion designer" not a tailor and a good stylist to execute this look , dont' try to defend this mess, take constructive criticism in silence, try again boo.
The fact that she tried to defend this mess sef , it's just annoying.
This dress was certainly meant for that balcony  she's in to just take that picture and not wear anywhere else.
