Last night’s premiere of Toyin Abraham’s “Alakada: Bad and Boujee” had the who’s who of the entertainment world stepping out in style their boujee best. The red carpet was a pastel dream, with each star embracing the “pastel paradise” theme in their own chic way.
The star of the night, Toyin Abraham, absolutely owned the carpet in a beautiful lemon-green-two-piece. The outfit shimmered with glittering stones along the neckline, sleeve hems, and trouser cuffs. And let’s talk about that oversized rose attached to her outfit – a gorgeous statement piece that cascaded all the way to the floor.
Meanwhile IniEdo was all about the Owambe glam in a red sequined dress and gele that’s perfect for your Owambe style inspiration. Kiekie brought her usual fun vibe, adding just the right amount of playful energy to the evening, while BimboAdemoye kept things soft and glowing with her subtle yet striking beauty.
“Alakada: Bad and Boujee” offers a hilarious look at Yetunde (played by Toyin Abraham), a young woman from humble beginnings, who crafts a lavish lifestyle to fit in and struggles with the consequences of living a life built on lies just to get ahead in the online world. Have you seen the trailer yet? It gives a sneak peek into the world of influencers and “soft life” culture. Fans of the “Alakada” series can now begin counting down to the premiere on December 18.

Reviewers most often described it as "great," and it was one of only a handful of museums in the top 10 to crack the list from North America.</p><p>Here's how the full top 10 least disappointing museums ranked:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>1. National Portrait Gallery</strong> — Washington, D.C., USA (76.9) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>2. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum</strong> — Glasgow, UK (75.9) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>3. National Museum of Korea</strong> — Seoul, South Korea (74.1) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>4. Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum</strong> — Madrid, Spain (73.8) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>5. Palacio de Cristal del Retiro</strong> — Madrid, Spain (71.9) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>6. California Science Center</strong> — Los Angeles, USA (69.5) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>7.

National Gallery of Art</strong> — Washington, D.C., USA (56.1) <em></em></li> <li> <strong>10. National Maritime Museum</strong> — London, UK (55.2) <em></em></li> </ul> <p>The study's top spot went to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.. Meanwhile, some iconic institutions didn't fare nearly as well. The National Air and Space Museum was named the world's <em>most disappointing</em>, with a score of just 7.5, and was weighed down by negative reviews that used words like "dull" and "disappointing."</p><p>In fact, many world-famous museums saw low scores due to crowd complaints, including the Louvre in Paris and New York's Museum of Natural History.</p><p>Compared to those heavy hitters, Montreal's fine arts museum may not be the flashiest, but it turns out that's part of the appeal. Sometimes, the best experience is simply one that doesn't let you down.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DBJXAPZxQOL/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
