Shaffy Bello has been on the Nigerian entertainment scene since 1997. So, by our calculations, she’s been around for a decade and a half. The actress and mother of two who burst onto the scene after being featured on Seyi Sodimu‘s hit song ‘Love me Jeje’ which I can’t help but still hum as I write this; hasn’t only been exceptional at her craft, she’s also aged gracefully (she’s fifty fine) and always has her slay on point both on and off the red carpet.
Themed parties can still be fun even in your fifties. Who ever said that there was a timeline to playing dress up? Mrs Bello looked ever so regal in this Victorian-inspired outfit that she wore to the MET Ball Glam red carpet affair.
Casual chic is still a thing even in your fifties apparently! Some days, you don’t want to play dress up but you still want to leave the house looking like a million bucks. This shirt dress paired with six-inch heels is both age appropriate, easy and chic. A good idea for a lady on the go!
Did anyone say Ankara? Mrs Bello seems to have a preference for this fabric and quite frankly, we can’t blame her. You can play around with it and work it to fit your body in very versatile ways. All you’ll be needing is a good seamstress who’s also reliable. For this look, the actress went for tassels and cotton sleeves and a collar made in the semblance of a corporate shirt, to add a bit of edge. If we’ve learned anything from this style star, it’s that the extra “oomph” can be garnered with a few additional details here and there.
In Ms. Shaffy’s world, the power suit is whatever you want it to be. At this point, we want to schedule a meeting with her seamstress because this looks like it was made to fit. Again, she adds some edge by pairing her look with these bomb sunglasses and a lemon purse. If that doesn’t say “I run this”, I don’t know what does. Yes, ma’am, we hear you loud and clear.
We love a lady who gets the part but also looks the part! Which of her looks are you feeling the most?
