BN Red Carpet Fab: 2011 Elite Model Look Nigeria Finale

BN Red Carpet Fab is always on the scene at the most fabulous events in Nigeria. We are always on the lookout for standout looks and “oh-no-she-didn’t” moments as well.

The Elite Model Look Nigeria finale competition is always a fab fête. At the 2011 edition of the event, there was lots of style goodies to appreciate.

Overall, we loved the bold presence of colour as guests shone in their various outfits. There was also a good presence of Nigerian designers pieces worn by our fashionistas on the red carpet. We spotted Bunmi Koko, Tiffany Amber and GM4FM pieces worn beautifully.

Paging Mr. Louboutin!
We spotted so many Christian Louboutin shoes on the red carpet at the Elite event, it was almost overwhelming. Check out our special mini-section on it at the end of the post.

Beth Models CEO, Elohor Aisien rocked a knee-length black dress with a full skirt. She paired her dress with an Anita Quansah London statement necklace and celebrity fave black Christian Louboutin Daffodile pumps. While we love the embroidered details on the dress, Elohor’s hair and makeup seal the deal!
