Glitz Style Awards; Top 5

Glitz Style Awards Review; Top five (5) Best Looks of the Night.

 On the 14th of September, with no astrologic prediction the stars aligned. Shining bright like diamonds they converged at the Movenpick Grand Hotel. It was a night of high fashion, flawless creativity and sophisticated entertainment, hosted by Nikki Samonas and Mai Atafo who looked blissful in blue, but I for one think the real show took place on the red carpet. The outfit choices of our local celebrities who strutted on the carpet was definitely one for the books. Who else was getting GH MET Gala vibes?! Obviously not every outfit was a hit but let’s spare the ne’er-do-wells for today and bask in the light of the stars who truly shone bright. Of course a lot of them stunned on the night but we've narrowed it down to 5.


5. Kojo Jones
Our  pick for number 5 is Ghanaian business executive, Kojo Jones. First of all I think men are underappreciated when it comes to fashion but this man is definitely worth mentioning for his African inspired outfit. From his head wear to the main outfit and accessories down to his shoes, every item was on point and complimented each other. The pop of color around the neck area of his outfit was just the right African spice he needed to nail the look. Check out his Instagram page @kojojones for his getting ready video.



4. James Gardener
Our fourth favorite I picked another deserving gentleman, James Gardener. The Ghanaian actor wore a traditional blue black three piece agbada. What is most interesting about his outfit was how classy it was. The pattern and buttons of the outfit and the fabric quality made him look more regal. The glitz style awards style awards is a classy and fashionable affair and I think his look captured the theme perfectly.


3. Zynnell Zuh
All hail the most fascinating fascinator of the night!! Our third pick for the night was also awarded the best dressed celebrity on the red carpet of the year and we can see why! Zynnell zuh stunned in a golden ensemble from @sima_brew. The off shoulder outfit was adorned with cowries which added a traditional twist to a rather modern gown. Zynnell is no stranger killing it on the red carpet and she definitely did it again. Congrats on her award.


2. Yvonne Okoro
At number 2 we have Yvonne Okoro who was honored on the night as the Glitz Magazine Style Influencer of the year which I think she really deserved.  She looked as amazing as always in a turquoise dress by @yartelgh. Her stylist did a wonderful job because not only was the dress incredibly stunning with its sequins and the sleeve style, but also in how it accentuated her curves and flattered her figure. She looked nothing less of a style influencer, congratulations.


Before we crown our best dressed look of the night let’s look at some honorable mentions.
1.Eazzy (@eazzyfirstlady) - looking like a Parisian sunset.

2. Efya and Kelvin Vincent (@efya_nokturnal, @kelvinvincentgh) - a very dynamic duo and just so much fun to look at.

3. Nana Akua Addo (@nanaakuaaddo) - it’s a plane, it’s a bird, no its just high fashion! The Coat Of Arms have never looked this good.

 4. Lady Jay (@ladyjaylives) - Melange Rouge. Period.

Ok so now our best dressed of the night...

1. Deborah Vanessa
Of all the stars in the constellation she shined brightest. Sister Derby always makes a statement on the red carpet and this was no different, only better! Her golden gown by House of Paon (@houseofpaon) was perfect with the jewel encrusted top and a sheer bottom. Her skin was glowing as well which is what happens when you take a water and mind your business! Her hair (candycrochets) and makeup (saybeauty_makeover) also complimented the outfit perfectly. She looked sexy, fun, royal and just absolutely stunning. A true African Mermaid! This is definitely her best look so far and definitely the best look on the red carpet as well. She was all Glitz and glamour and her Style deserved the Award for the best dressed of the night. oh and don't forget her EPis coming oo if it comes and you don't buy some you'll see.!!

Chocolate Cake for the Soul / My Cure, My Poison

My cure, my poison I want it The lies, the tears, the pain, the tears I crave it Your sound, your touch, your scream, your scratch Making appointments to receive your injection Seeking your love but fearing rejection A desperate search for affection In all the wrong places believing deception Your words like fingers trace my skin But pull me deep into unholy sin Prison doors open but I won't flee Chains are broken but I'm not free Sick of the lies, sick of the tears, sick of the pain, sick of the fears. You're my remedy, you're my symptom My cure, my poison. Sometimes the one thing we feel like we cant live without is the thing that actually kills us. the strangest part is that even though we know it kills us we just cant help ourselves. this piece is just an artistic way of saying I live for what kills me. I don't know if you can relate but sometimes you find yourself in a relationship that is just so messed up that you cant even have a single ...

With this I shield my breast …  ‘In the chest of a woman is not only an extension of breast and a feeble heart but a flaming desire to possess and use power.’- Efo Kodjo Mawugbe. The battle of the sexes has long been fought for more than centuries. Different eras of human history show powerful women who in the midst of men fought to make their voices heard. Even here in Ghana we are told the tale of the brave Yaa Asantewaa who led her people in battle. Although there are quite a number of powerful women in our day, the number could increase by far. This can happen if girls of today are taught their true worth at an early age. In our world today, especially in Africa, girls have been programmed to believe that their highest qualification in life is to become a wife. Sure we do not prevent them from going to school and lock them up in the kitchen as in the days of old, but even as girls are encouraged to get an education they are only encouraged not to go so far or else what tim...
