Florence Pugh Matches her Sheer Ruffled Dress to her Spiky Hair at the 2023 BAFTAs
Florence Pugh is the red carpet moment. Fresh from opening London Fashion Week in a cutout corset and oversized hat at the Harris Reed show last week, the style icon arrived in an equally stylish ensemble for the 2023 BAFTAs. The actor, whose film "The Wonder" is nominated for outstanding British film, brought drama to the red carpet wearing a tomato red strapless gown by Harris Reed at Nina Ricci and hair that gave us '90s feels. The sheer fabric of Pugh's dress was gathered and ruched in the body before fanning out to a fishtail bottom with layers of pleated tulle to mirror the structured tulle detail at the neckline. Working with longtime stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, she added black platform wedges underneath the dramatic train. While all eyes were undoubtedly on her voluminous dress...
Lily James Wows in an Ultra Plunging White Gown at the 2023 BAFTAs
Lily James did not come to play at the 2023 BAFTAs red carpet. The actor arrived at Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, 19 Feb. wearing a show-stopping white strapless Tamara Ralph gown with an ultra plunging neckline covered in a pearl and crystal structured web. Plus, the dress was not just a party at the front as the back came complete with a large, oversize bow at the waist, too. Styled by Rebecca Corbin Murray, who'd had a busy night having also styled Florence Pugh in a gorgeous red, ruffled gown, James worked the red carpet expertly by being careful not to tread on the train that followed her. To allow the dress to really shine, she pulled her brunette hair back into a sophisticated bun which also allowed her button earrings to be seen in all their glory. Sofia Tilbury gave the "Pam &am...

Carrie-Anne Moss arrived at The Matrix: Resurrections premiere in California and assumed the role of best dressed on the red carpet with ease. Known forever in our hearts as her character Trinity, Moss wore an Oscar de la Renta couture gown to debut the fourth instalment of The Matrix film series. Moss’s dress had us immediately mesmerised. The black gown featured Hellenistic-inspired draping, ruching, and caped sleeves. With a plunging neckline and a cinched waist, the custom dress boasted silver and green sequin embroidery that started at the hemline and moved upwards, as inspired by the movie’s signature Matrix code. Within the code itself, and if you’re able to zoom in close enough, you’ll find that that the name of the maison “Oscar de la Renta” is ...
Sunday Igboho: Why Ibarapa residents rejected Fulani herders
Yoruba freedom fighter, Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Igboho, who issued a seven-day eviction notice to Fulani herders that had been terrorising residents of Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State has said the threat of arrest can never be used to intimidate him. He said this in a viral video that was just released. Narrating what happened in Igangan in a video, he said all the suspected Fulani herders that were handed over to the police were released after a DPO got a directive from above (Abuja)”. “God will not allow the destruction of Yorubaland. These herders, after holding their kidnap victims, would be asking the females among them to undress and rape them. Anyone they kidnapped, the least ransom they collect is N10m.” “Imagine the case of that Dr Aborode that they killed recent...

The Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA) has called for adult rating for films with smoking scenes, anti-smoking adverts, anti-smoking health warnings, certified no pay-offs, stop identification of tobacco brands and a total ban on tobacco products placement in the Nigerian movie industry — Nollywood.
