Glamsquad is a reality talk show inspired by E! Entertainment Television’s hit series – Fashion Police, but adapted and made culturally relevant to our society here in Nigeria.
Just like E!’s Fashion Police,
the show will have 4 regular co-hosts with surprise guest appearances
once in a while to keep viewers on their toes and will see them critique
and discuss the dos and don’ts of the fashion in the country. The show
will not only focus on celebrities, but also on socialites and wannabes.

Who Wore it Better
-This time, the panelists spotlight two or more stars wearing the same
outfit on different occasions or even at the same event. They discuss
the individuals in question and select who they think looked best in the
outfit. Warning: Both the loser and the winner may be subjected to
ridicule with the winner chosen as the lesser of two evils.
Hit or Miss – In this
slot, the photograph of a person with their face obscured is presented,
often the individual will sport a revealing or disheveled clothing. The
hosts and each of the guests have a paddle with “Beginner” written on
one side and “Interm+ediary” written on the other. The person’s outfit
is ridiculed, before the anchor and each of the guest hold up their
paddle to declare whether they think, the individual in question is a
beginner or an intermediary, before the mystery person’s identity is
revealed to all. If they turn out to be a starlet, they are ridiculed
more.
Senior/Senorita - Here the celebrity being analysed is not revealed and accurate given to those who got the sex right.
O.T.T (Over the Top) –
The panelists x-ray and bring down the celebrities who overdress all in a
bid to make fashion statement but have unconsciously committed
“tautology”
Be Weave it or Not – The panelists x-ray celebrities adornment of weave on and make a pronouncement on who’s hot and who’s not.
Style Vigilante – This
is the out and about segment where images from events are analysed. The
hosts make comments on the style saviness of the celebrity being
revealed.

Odun OgunbiyiAfter returning to Nigeria from a career in hospital pharmacy abroad, Odun, indulged her passion for all things fashion and girly. Currently a fashion editor at TW Magazine as well as a blogger and PR specialist.
She loves to work out and on GlamSquad,
her overview would probably skew towards her professional competence as a
pharmacist as she would be prescribing the right fashion dosage
expected for celebrities. To judge her based on her charming looks would
be courting an alliance with a cup of hemlock. Any celebrity she picks
on would be surgically dissected and made better at the end of the day.
