    Fit is everything

    There is no way around it if the gown is ill-fitting, it just won’t work. The most important thing to looking good is to make sure that you have a really good fit. If things don’t fit right, then you are going to be tugging at them or pulling them up or you have to worry about weird undergarments.

     

    Have a back-up plan

    Even if you have your heart set on a gown, it’s always a good idea to have two or three options on hand.

     

    Carefully consider undergarments

    Whether it’s full-body armour to hold everything in place or a flesh-toned slip, what you wear underneath the gown can pretty much make or break your red carpet look.

     

    Wear comfortable heels

    You cannot always expect to find fabulous strappy heels that match perfectly to your dress and fit comfortably. “A really good trick one that I always have in my kit is spray deodorant,” says Peden- a style consultant “A lot of the time shoes are a little too small and this often leads to swollen or sweaty feet. So, spray deodorant actually help shoes fit better.” Spray deodorant inside of the heel of your shoe before heading out. “Your foot slides in and it just stays cool and dry”.

    Practice your red carpet pose

    You want to work your dress in front of the cameras and not the other way around.

    According to Yemi Olowolabi, Red Carpet’s CEO, the new programme “is a wholesome social diary distinguished by decent motion pictures and distinct notion of merry features.”

    Olowolabi, a former editor with TELL magazine and former Chief Press Secretary to the late former Governor of Ondo State, Chief Olusegun Agagu, says “Grandstyle is made up of strictly social and corporate events. It is an awesome tour of social circuits, with special emphasis on style, strides and spectacles. It employs a simple narrative technique and supple entertaining language, amply illustrated with appealing visuals.”
