Fashion Police: Cameroon International Film Festival (CAMIFF)

Hi MKB Readers,

How has your week been? Hopefully not too stressful, TGIF. I will like to thank you for all your love and support. It means a lot. You guys push me to be better and encourage me to never give up and it means more than you will ever know. Your lovely messages and comments make my day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

      So, as you guys already know, the Cameroon International Film Festival (CAMIFF) has been taking place in Buea Mountain Hotel from the 26th - 30th of April and the event has brought together actors from all over the world. Veteran Nigerian Actor - Ramsey Noah, Bollywood Actors, Ghana based Cameroon Actress - Okawa Shaznay, Pulse TV Presenter - Joan Ngomba and many others. This Fashion police post is going to cover outfits from the opening ceremony, MTN night and African Magic Night.

Disclaimer: 

A very talented and inspirational Cameroon Actor - Kang Quintus had this to say "This is a FILM FESTIVAL not an Award Night. The opening days of film festivals are meant for film screenings, workshops, conferences, and training about film making or the art. The last day of the festival which is the closing/awards night is the big night! That is when all the glamour comes in!".

      He made me understand why Ramsey Noah dressed the way he did because quite frankly, I was mad when I saw his outfit. However, Mr Quintus has helped me calm down and have a sense of reason. Moving forward, I suggest that event organizers clearly state the dress code for their events because many actors and actresses did not get the memo and I don't blame them at all. Honestly, I was beginning to wonder why there was a red carpet for all 5 days. It's a little too much. Anyway, What do i know? I am not an actor. That being said, even if you have to dress simple/casual, you can still be stylish.

Actress Okawa Shaznay:

Yassssss! This is what I am talking about people! Simple yet fashionable and classy. Love love her  mid length, body-con dress it fits her perfectly, her shoe is just gorgeous, fleek hair do, Make up on point. In fact I need to stop talking. SLAYAGE DOT COM.

Fashion Police: Fredash International Annual Fashion Avenue (FIAFA) Red Carpet.

Hey MKB Readers,
Hope you all are having a lovely week. I can't believe we are coming to the end of April. It seems like just yesterday we were shouting "Happy New Year" and now we are almost half way into the year. It is a wa oo! lol. We should always be thankful to God for his blessings. Anyway, to the matter at hand. Last weekend, the 4th annual FIAFA event went down at Chariot Hotel Buea. I was so delighted to watch the event from Kreef Entertainment's snap chat (please don't judge me, na my own reality TV that). The event was very organized and full of lovely designs, models and designers. Not forgetting our celebs, Hahaha. Where there are CELEBS!, There is FASHION POLICE. No bi so??? * wona answer abeg*.  I have decided to add a fashion tip with every fashion police post to help our celebs and my readers make better fashion/ style choices.

FASHION TIP OF THE DAY - SHOES!
Ladies:
- You don't have to own many shoes if you can't afford them. However, there are some shoes you MUST have in your closet. At least ONE pump and ONE single sole sandals (Google am now).
- You should have a good number of nude and black shoes in different styles before you go into buying shoes in funny other colors. Why? Because nude and black goes with EVERYTHING. You can never go wrong with those two colors. When in doubt, wear a black or nude shoe. However the style of the shoe will depend on the outfit.

Guys:
- You all need to invest in at least one good moccasin or 'gentleman'/ classy shoe. I am tired of seeing sneakers on the red carpet. * News flash!* They don't go with everything.
- When in doubt, go with a black and brown shoe. In fact you should all own a good black and/ or brown shoe. 

Here are the celebs who killed, trashed, or were mediocre the red carpet. Disclaimer: This is purely my opinion.

 Actress Malvin Ann:

 I absolutely love this outfit. The pairing of the neon green top and ankara trousers by Mareta West is great. I would have preferred nude shoes but the neon green shoes also works. Please can u say an Amen? I actually love her hair, her hair stylist could have done a better cut but this is way better than the mami water hair. #Slayed

Fashion Police - Urban Jamz Awards 2016

Hi MKB Readers,
How have you all been doing? The weather has been getting warmer here and I couldn't be happier. As some of you might know, last weekend was the Urban Jamz Awards held in Buea. I was blessed to watch it stress free on Kreef Entertainment's snap-chat (If you aren't following them, please do. They provide a front stage view of concerts, tours and events and 24 hours Q & As with Cameroon artists, entertainers and celebs). I must say the organizers of the show did a great job, probably the best Cameroon award show I have watched, but of course there is always room for improvement. However, this post is about the red carpet outfits, they were hmmm, Let's take a look abeg. Just thinking aloud - Was there a dress code for this event? because all man be jo di wear anything way e want. Most of the celebs dressed very casual, so I presume, the dress code was Casual chic.

Actress Syndy Emade:  She always looks stunning and this outfit was no different. Love the all black theme, crop top, pants and her over the shoulder coat gives me life. However I wish she wore a different shoe style. One of my favs for sure.

Hope you all are having a lovely week, It's almost Friday so hang in there. As we now know, from the previous posts, the 2016 African Magic Viewer's Choice Awards was on the 5th of March and although many celebs brought their A-game, there were a couple of celebrities who feel short. In fact there were more fashion fails than I ever expected. Below is the list of celebs who flooped.

Ini Edo: 

If this was Ini's wedding then may be this dress could have been on the best dresses list. May be oo, just may be. But to wear a wedding dress to an award is just ridiculous and the fitting of the dress was off in some places. I might have loved it if it was in another color but ermmm .... Nah this was a fail.

Rita Dominic: 

This lady has been my fashion muse since before I even knew what fashion was and she has never let me down. Her shoe came is like no other and can she rock the hell out of any red carpet. Damn! She is definitely my favorite look of the night.  Her green asymmetrical satin dress by Elvira Jude. The waist piece is EVERYTHING and this dress will be nothing without it. I love the fact that she knew to wear very minimal accessories in order not to take away from the dress. Love, Love, love. Hair to toe slayage!!

Hey MKB Readers,

The event was star studded with celebrities from all over Africa and you know wherever there are Celebs there is fashion; the good, the bad and the ugly.

A couple of male celebs happened to rock the same look, so let's check them out. First up

Uti Nwachukwu Vs Falz The Bad Guy:

 

They both look great in a mustard one button suit However there has to be a win. And the winner is .... Drum roll please! .............. UTI. He nailed it head to toe. Love everything about his look including the red flower (i know!). Falz looks great too but his choice of shoes is not the best. A black shoe, black bow tie and black pocket squares could have taken his look to another level.

 

Cameroon Duo - RYTHMZ Is On The Money

My favorite Cameroon music group RYTHMZ, released the video of their single “Me & You” under XM MUSIC. This song comes after “Dancia” a featuring with Cameroon’s biggest boy band X-MALEYA, sometime last year.   “Me & You” is a love song. Love lost, love found, no matter the distance, no matter the time, whether who stands for or against it, once its real, it shall always be for two, hence the title “Me & You”. This song was done in the new genre of music, propagated by the band called ‘AFROBIKOSSA”. AFROBIKOSSA is a mixture of Afropop, Makossa & Bikutsi. 

NGOMA IS BACK!!!!!

Cameroonian rapper and song-writer Ngoma presents the video to his song “Ekié” directed by Adah Akenji.
After releasing his first single "Afe Nkap" in 2014, the rapper has decided to make a come back to the music scene offering another rhythm to his  fans and leaving his prints on the Cameroon urban music platform with his song “Ekié”. Ngoma describes "Ekié" as a musical trend where he expresses his appreciation of the female 'physic' because to him “women are art and special beings”.  “Ekié” is a common term used in Cameroon to express great surprise or amazement. In essence, "Ekié" embodies a local and harmonic rhythm followed by a mixture of languages taken spoken in Cameroon.
