The NAFTAs (Namibian Film & Theatre Awards) were held at the NTN (National Theatre of Namibia) in November last year. This is a bi-annual event, held every 2 years with the aim to recognise and honour film and theatre practitioners in Namibia. Tickets were sold out a week in advance as it is genuinely THE event to attend on the local social calendar. Ensure your tickets are bought in time, to avoid disappointment.
A well organised PR campaign informed the public about the event, the nominees and the evening was made extra special with a red carpet for invited guests.
I still can't forget Tanya Turipamwe Stroh's amazing outfit. It's a stroke of artistic genius. Nothing was out of place, everything was perfect (see below) and she even made for a perfect picture. Red lipstick, matching red nails, a beautiful traditional necklace, cropped black jacket and then THAT dress...lime yellow, perfectly fitted and perfectly constructed made for a stunning combination of Europe and Africa. Her interesting clutch is a conversation on its own. I can't wait to see what she'll be wearing at next year's NAFTAs.
Another stunner at last year's NAFTAs, was Namibian model, Veronica Tuulikufo (below, left). This particular hue of turquoise is difficult to wear with style but she did it like no one else can. Just to demonstrate, I avoid turquoise like a vampire flees from sunlight. Veronica kept it trendy and simple. Off the shoulder (asymmetric neckline), full length gown, a tiny belt which emphasised her tiny waist, great hair and another stunning, leather clutch. Her gorgeous skin 'popped' in that turquoise dress. Another winner to watch at next year's event.
Lynn Strydom (left) wore traditional Chanel colours, black and white. These two are extremely difficult colours to wear together, with the added danger of missing that special 'vintage' look altogether and just appearing as trashy, circa the 80s. Somehow, Lynn clinched it. There's something unforgettable and striking about this black and white ensemble; the long sleeves, buttoned collar, those gorgeous legs and shiny platforms. Her hair was neatly pulled back and she showed off to perfection, her great cheekbones and gorgeous smile. I'll definitely keep an eye out for her at next year's event.
Commitment to style is a personal investment and those who go the extra mile, should be praised and commended. Well done to Tanya, Veronica and Lynn for making the NAFTAs of 2012 a stylish and unforgettable event.
