Tiwa Savage, Sheyi Shay and Emma Nyra lead best dressed artistes’ list

[Encomium] Though we have very few female music acts in the industry, they are doing very great –
 releasing albums, singles, videos and still getting deals. Amongst these very few, ENCOMIUM Weekly still can clearly identify the three best dressed in this industry. Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay and Emma Nyra have been consistent when it comes to the business of looking good. They don’t disappoint, when they step out on red carpets…

TIWA SAVAGE - Born Tiwatope Savage on February 5, 1980 in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, the afro pop and R ‘n’ B singer has been active in the music industry since 2010. Since Tiwa came into the Nigerian music industry, she has made sure she remained on the lips of people with steady music and well put together outfits when she steps on the red carpet.

The Pepsi ambassador’s dress sense is definitely breathtaking. She wore a long blue dress with a slit right up to her thigh to the last City People Awards. Her makeup and accessories complemented her dress. Saying she was one of the best dressed to the awards won’t be called exaggeration.

This black and beautiful songstress knows what suits her dark skin. She has been very consistent when it comes to this. She adorned a brownish grey stripped bondage dress and yellow sandals to Baileys Nigeria’s unveiling event, where she looked all classy and chic.

To the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards early in the year that was star studded, Tiwa stepped out in a Bridget Awosika 2013 Collection –  a long blue fitted dress with matching silver pointed shoes.

Her style is very much in place as she never overdoes it. In the category of best dressed female music acts, we can authoritatively say she’s  on top of it.

EMMA NYRA - Born Emma Chukwugoziam Obi in Texas, the United States of America, she graduated fromSouthern University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Health Administration. She is one of Nigeria’s  fastest rising artistes. She’s also one of its best dressed as she takes her time and comes out in jaw- dropping outfits anytime she’s on the red carpet.

To the Bailey’s Night of Soulful music and R ‘n’ B divas, Emma stunned her fans. She wore a body hugging blue dress. She had a nice jacket with blue patches also. Her sandals were exceptionally nice and it complemented her dress.  Again, at the Cool FM anniversary party held at Club Vegas few weeks back, Emma Nyra was garbed in a knee length sleeveless little black dress, with floral shoes.

To the Miss Nigeria ceremony, she wore a black long sequin dress with slits by the sides. She had matching white sandals to complete the outfit.

Finally, at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards, the beautiful songstress wore a long peplum red boobs’ revealing dress. The cuts of the upper part of the dress made it look very classy. Her hair went well with her dress also. Her Instagram page also never rests as she puts up pictures regularly of some of her breathtaking outfits.

SEYI SHAY - Born Deborah Oluwaseyi Joshua in the United Kingdom, she had her tutelage under Beyoncé’s father, Martin Knowles. Since she got back to Nigeria, she’s been one of its fastest rising music acts with just three singles.

The afro pop and R’n B singer stepped out in a knee length red sleeveless dress with silvery embroidery to the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards early this year. She had red shoes and black jewellery to complete the look.

At the Chanel O music video awards nominees’ party in Lagos few weeks back, she wore a short bondage dress that concentrated on flashing her figure, with a pair of multi-coloured sandals.

This sexy songstress also stepped out in an ankara short dress at the Bovi’s Man on Fire Show. She looked quite simple but classy also. To the day one of the COSON Week in Lagos mid-year, Seyi Shay wore a black knee length dress, flaunting her model figure with peep toes blue shoes.

Also at the Etisalat Cloud 9 launch few weeks back, she wore a multi-coloured short dress with brown sandals, and her makeup was very slight.  At the Night of Soulful music with R ‘n’ B divas, she adorned a knee length grayish black dress with revealing patches on it,  and she looked honestly great.
