The 50th Independence of Nigeria was commemorated by the First Lady of Nigeria by bringing together 50 Nigerian women who have made a difference. Photo shoots were done, videos were taken, and Kelechi Amadi-Obi's studio was where it all went down.
I was priviledged to style Agbani Darego ( One time Miss World and former Miss Nigeria) as she was one of the women selected for the coffee table book the images were for.
The main look we were looking for was "regal" and the Featured designer was ROUGE.
Here are some of the images from the shoot.
The hair pieces provided:
However, you would see that we didnt make use of them because the shoot was really about her, and not the clothes. Using them would over power her personality, making her the model of the designer's work.
Slight complications with the hair stylist, but that worked out. Make up artist, Bimpe Ogunmakin of Elite Makeup was also there to complete the process...
The first outfit was the preferred one (naturally) a high necked victorian looking piece, selected by Dimeji Alara. 
No foot wear was included because the outfits were floor length. Naturally, Agbani's posing was all natural.
Touch up by Bimpe...
The second outfit as you can see, is very creative. I wasnt so sure about the fabric used, but when the shoot was all done, the best pictures were in this outfit.
And yes, many years after her reign as Miss World, Agbani is still beautiful as ever!
