Nollywood actress Omowunmi Dada wearing a custom Somobysomo geometric gown for The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Maybe we should start with “clear road” for the leading lady of Baba Segi! Did you see the way Omowunmi Dada pulled up to the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives? She came through in gold and black, wearing a custom Somobysomo gown with a sculpted strapless bodice, mosaic-like metallic detailing and a sweeping train that stretched across the carpet.
The strapless gown begins with a fitted bodice that hugs her figure through the waist and hips before opening into a sweeping mermaid silhouette and floor-length trumpet train. But the real conversation starts with the detailing. Set against dark mesh, metallic gold and bronze geometric appliqués spread across the gown in mosaic-like patterns, starting around the waist and fanning out down the skirt. The placement draws attention to the shape of the dress while giving the black base a completely different texture.
Omowunmi Dada brings Nollywood red-carpet fashion to the Toronto International Film Festival in custom Somobysomo.
