Photos from Mai Atafo’s “Dream Wedding II” Event in Lagos

What a star-studded event!

Thursday 13th June, 2013 saw the unveiling of Mai Atafo‘s “Grandeur Collection” in grand style at his glam-tastic ‘Dream Wedding II” event at Landmark Village, Oniru.

As promised, the show maintained its real-life elements and it was so riveting that the audience felt like they were all part of a beautiful and very romantic movie. Each of the love stories between the celebrity couples was well portrayed from the wedding ceremony, all the way to the reception.

And, just like how Uti Nwachukwu & Munachi Abii stole the show last year with their million dollar kiss, Chris Attoh and the bedazzling Isio Wanogho rocked the house with theirs.

The show also had Nigerian music stars M.I, Waje, Praiz, Seyi Shay and Timi Dakolo, amongst others, delivering outstanding performances on the runway. One of the huge surprises of the night was when Nollywood starlet, O.C. Ukeje delivered an amazing vocal rendition.

The runway saw the likes of Chris Attoh, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Gbenro Ajibade, Lynxxx, Joseph Benjamin,Banky W, Tosin Martins, DJ Xclusive and OC Ukeje; as well as such stunning women as Isio Wanogho,Yvonne Nelson, Eku Edewor, Beverly Naya and Tobi Oyelakin.

Check out some of the couples!

Monokinis are perfect if you want to show off a bit of skin without showing it all off. Sexy cut outs can be equally as alluring–just watch out for funky tan lines.

3. Rash Guards

Squeamish about your arms? Want a bit more upper body coverage? A rash guard is basically the new tankini, made popular, no doubt, by Beyonce’s Shape Magazine cover. If you want to try the surfer’s staple, get the look with these:

4.One Pieces

One piece swimsuits are always a safe bet, and they’re suddenly sexy thanks to spreads like the ones featuring Solange Knowles above. Make your one piece interesting by wearing one with bright colors or a graphic print.

5. For the Busty Girls

As you know, I’m quite top heavy, so buying off the rack doesn’t really work for me. Over the years, I’ve come to cling to brands like Vix, Freya, and Malia Mills, because they offer tops that come in cup sizes (Freya goes up to an F cup!).

Check out a few options for the busty set:

More Vix Swimwear…

6. For the Donkalicious

High waisted bottoms that are cut high will make you look your leanest and longest. If you’d like to conceal your stallion booty, mix and match, wearing darker colors on the bottom, lighter colors on the top.

Find a few high waisted and dark bottoms below:

7. For the Plus Sized Set

From Monif C to ASOS Curve to Rue 107 and GabiFresh‘s line for Swimsuits For All (get it here), there are more choices than ever for those with a little more meat on their bones.
