Rating outfits at the movie premiere of Barbie in Nigeria

Celebrities and influencers came en masse to watch the movie premiere in Lagos, Nigeria. Although, they were a bit late and tardy.

It was a festival of pink, as many of them channelled Barbiecore. For some, it was a fashion miss, but for others, it was a win.

Here’s our assessment of their outfits to the Barbie movie premiere:

Modella

This Big Brother Naija alum hit the ground running in a pink, short corset gown. It was cute and perfect for the event. 8/10.

Idia Aisien

Idia went overboard with her outfit choice. It wasn't necessary for her to wear such an extravagant pink gown that made her resemble a bride, especially since even Margot Robbie didn't wear such a lavish pink gown to the movie premiere. 5/10.

Tacha Akide

Tacha's transition into her Balenciaga era is quite evident, with her unconventional choice of wearing masks and shoes tucked into pantyhose. However, it feels rather odd to see a woman clad in an all-pink ensemble from head to toe. Her Louis Vuitton shoes were gorgeous, though, and the gown was cute. 6/10.

Bella Okagbue

No, Barbie, no. The outfit was a bit unflattering on her small figure, and the makeup was so cakey and flashy, it wasn't well done. 4/10.

Sheggz Olusemo

Sheggz didn’t look like he was coming to a premiere; he was committed to looking as nonchalant as possible. He basically wore white singlet and a short sleeve jacket. 2/10

James Brown

Taffeta is such a weird fabric and the bling on James Brown's neck reminded me of when we used to dress like princesses during our primary school inter-house sport. 4/10.

Groovy

Groovy just wore a black suit and a multicoloured tie. Why a black suit? I know I complained about too much pink being worn but black is just weird. Did someone die? 4/10.

Allysyn

One of my favorite looks was Allysyn's bedazzled gown, love how she wore blue shoes. You don't have to wear all pink and look matchy matchy. 7/10.

Akin Faminu

This fashion influencer wore head-to-toe pink and white shoes. Though it was a lot of pink on a man, we will not push any sentiment on what masculinity should look like and just say he looks good. 8/10

Nengi Adoki

Nengi’s jumpsuit and hairstyle were quite quirky, but we loved to see it. 7/10.

Hilda Baci

Hilda's elegant pink gown shimmered with simplicity and beauty. 8/10.

Enioluwa

However, Enioluwa's taffeta fit was too much on the eyes; we didn't know what we were supposed to be looking at but it wasn't a horrible look. 6/10.
