    WHAT’S the perfect way to rock the season without pastels or floral dress? A black dress to the rescue!

    Ways to wear black

    FASHIONISTAS and half of Nollywood have been rocking black garbs lately. It is a look that’s elegant and season-less whether it’s a casual cocktail bash or an elegant party.

    Ndidi Obioha was mod-cute in this long black cocktail dress at an event in Lagos last week. And while it might be too cold where you are to wear a sleeveless garb, a black jacket, shawl or cardigan would look great just like Bridget Awosika paired her number.

    Ene-Maja Lawani was pure glamour in a velvety gown with mesh cleavage and shoulders detail. Picking a pure black gown like this one with just a hint of silver is a chic choice for a swanky party in the lingering days of cold.

Jasmine is a graduate of Chapman University in Orange County, USA, with a B.A in Communication. Her love life, which has been shielded from prying eyes, has dominated discourse, with speculations about the identity of her date making the rounds. Many months ago, there was a rumour that she was romantically involved with hip-hop star, D’banj. But the rumour was later dispelled.

    The epitome of beauty made her first showbiz appearance when she compered The Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, which took place at the Concorde Hotel in Owerri, Imo State with the popular TV presenter, IK Osakioduwa.
