I WAS just thinking to
myself the other day. If Cassper Nyovest or say Burna Boy were to invite me to
an exclusive party – what would I wear? What would be good enough to wear to a
celebrity party, I thought.
These dreamy ideas came
to mind after I had told a friend I miss South Africa and the next time I visit
the country need to go to Taboo Night Club in Sandton, Johannesburg.
I’d missed an
opportunity to go there the last time I was in Sandton and would not miss it
for anything the next time I’m in South Africa.
Without soliciting for
information, my friend started telling me about how exclusive Taboo is and how
much of a celebrity bar it is.
“This is where
celebrities do their thing”, he kept saying.
My friend sold me a
dream I can’t wait to fulfill!
But even as he was
talking, I kept asking myself – what would I wear to Taboo? It’s the same as
going to Cassper Nyovest or Burna Boy’s party, right?
There would be other
celebrities and important people there. I’d need to fit in and not look like I
just got out of some dingy alley.
Could it be the same as
going to Pabloz VIP in Harare, I wondered.
My mind kept racing
over this fantasy. Crazy, I know!
So these thoughts were
at the back of my mind for a couple more days until I saw this girl in a hot
black number on Instagram.
I got my “aha” moment.
It’s actually not that complicated dressing for an A list event.
Simply pull out the
trusted and timeless little black dress!
Just a dress? Of course
not! The secret lies in the accessories.
Just go crazy. Wear an
elaborate neck piece, a good pair of earrings, a time piece – preferably a big
face watch – they’re in right now – and a killer pair of high heels.
The higher the heels
the better! You obviously need to make sure you can walk in the pair of heels
you choose otherwise you’ll be walking like a new born calf.
We certainly wouldn’t
want that – it’ll shatter your confidence and ruin your entire evening.
Once that’s sorted out,
next thing to worry about is your hair and make-up. Do an elaborate eyebrow and
a defined eye. I’d even go for a smoky eye – just this once.
For the lips – red
lipstick will be perfect. It goes with nearly everything and will blend in with
whatever skin tone.
I’d let my hair down –
something about a woman in a little black dress and flowing hair.
But don’t be under
pressure to get an all new hairstyle unless you absolutely need to.
You could wear your
hair or braids in a bun and look equally good. This look will, in my opinion,
be more elegant than sexy.
If you’re more
adventurous and your whites are white enough, all white could be an option for
you. Maintain the hair and make-up but mix it up a little bit with the shoes.
Go for something bright
– something that will pop and demand attention. It could be gold, hot pink or
animal print – anything that will tickle your fancy.
Your all white outfit
could be a dress, destroyed denims and a flattering blouse or a pair of shorts
and a low neckline shirt. No flat shoes or T-shirts please ladies!
Embrace your femininity
the best way you can.
It’s only January and
we just got out of the festive season, you might be thinking. You probably
don’t even have a dollar in your wallet! That’s okay; preparation time is never
wasted time. When the time comes, you’ll know exactly what to do and make sure
you turn up!
