As Nollywood’s vibrant lights prepare to shine again, Netflix’s annual celebration, Lights, Camera, Naija!, is set to take centre stage today.
This year it’s all about the Pioneers, Pillars and Players of Nollywood. However, before the stars walk the red carpet, there are a host of crucial elements we can’t miss – Let’s dive into them!
The Dress Code
Cabaret chic is an enigmatic blend of glamour and drama, drawing inspiration from the lively performance culture of cabarets. An invitation to come bold, loud and elegant without any room to hold back.
This dress code will inspire attendees to channel their inner showstoppers and shine brightly like the stars they are.
Expect to see women strutting into the event in different shapes and sizes of glittering gowns, and cocktail dresses adorned with frills and feathers and accessories! From statement jewellery to feather boas, and eye-catching hats the ladies have the liberty to use them all.
The men aren’t left out of the sizzling drama. Think tailored suits in bold colors, paired with unique shirts and luxe footwear. For accessories, bow ties, suspenders, and flamboyant pocket squares will come into play. The beauty of the cabaret style is its ability to blend modern chic with vintage glamour.
The Host
Netflix recently announced that the award-winning Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will compère the event. Ebuka consistently ranks top amongst the most influential personalities in Nigeria and has on several occasions broken the internet with his fashion style and exceptional outfits.
We can expect to see Ebuka dazzle on the stage, as he always does.
The Guests
This year, Netflix is paying tribute to the legends who laid the foundation of Nollywood, the off-screen masterminds – directors, producers, and crew members – who keep the industry running, and the vibrant actors who captivate audiences worldwide. Talents across Nollywood who fall into these categories will be live at the event today.
