Uche Pedro styled her crimson red gown with silver teardrop earrings, bronze eyeshadow, and a romantic high updo.
Uche Pedro, BellaNaija’s founder and CEO, clearly had High Fashion Icon in mind when she stepped onto the red carpet for BellaNaija’s 20th anniversary celebration. Her choice was a floor-length crimson red gown covered in sculptural micro-pleating, with an exaggerated shoulder, an asymmetrical neckline and a ruffled trumpet skirt that made the whole silhouette feel wonderfully larger than life.
And of course, there is a lot to look at.
The custom gown was built around a corseted waist, with diagonal, wave-like pleat lines running across the bodice to shape the figure before dropping into a trumpet skirt made from layers of circular ruffles. The effect was dramatic without needing a pile-on of accessories. The dress already had plenty going on, and Uche let its shape do the talking.
