I think she looks great in her colourful traditional Nigerian outfit. For those who do not know, Makhosi in the second picture is rocking 'Iro & Buba' a ceremonial outfit usually worn by women for special occasions. The outfit is usually made from a range of different materials (Makhosi's is made from aso-oke, used widely by the creme of the society for weddings; the buba being the top and the iro tied like a wrap-around at the bottom. The gele completes the look; tied around the head in a turban-like fashion and trust me that requires expertise! Usually accessories like beads or gold necklaces, bracelets and ear-rings are used to keep the look more interesting!
All the best, Makhosi!
