Honestly, we’re not really concerned about all that. All we can say is that it was fascinating to see popular A-list stars, celebrities, entertainment and fashion bloggers and leading socialites put their best fashion foot forward on that night. 

The event pulled in stars like Kate Henshaw, Osas Ighodaro, Toke Makinwa, Omoni Oboli, Shaffy Bello, Inidima Okojie, Linda Osifo, Mimi Onalaja, Jemima Osunde, Waje, Simi Drey and many more with more than just eye-catching looks. The celebrity looks instantly began to draw a social media buzz even before the event was over, with everyone wondering who would have the best look of the night. Recall that sponsors Diamond Bank had announced that the night’s best stylist would win N500,000, while the designer’s muse would win N250,000 sponsored by Coca-Cola. The night was also therefore a sassy mix of excitement and, in a way, a style skirmish.

Long before the movie itself premiered, guests were treated to cocktails and light food, while granting interviews to the press pool eager to know what they were wearing and how they felt about the big night.

FilmOne and FilmHouse Cinemas also maintained that the Ocean’s 8 Premiere was much more than just coming to see a movie, rather it was about celebrating achievement and seeing leading women in a different light. The movie which stars brilliantly talented actresses like Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter on the big screen, also had a way of inspiring the younger generation of women to be bold about going after their dreams.

The Ocean’s 8 Premiere was also an opportunity to bring together women of distinct backgrounds and professions, which informed the organisers’ choice of guests, social influencers and partners. With sponsorship from Diamond Bank, Zaron, Coca-Cola and others, the event was more fun and more complete.

Anticipation is about to peak for the Lagos grand premiere of ‘Ocean’s 8’ MET ball gala.
With the MET Gala dress code for the extraordinary night, VVIPs will be glammed up ready to strut the red carpet with all eyes on them at this exclusive invitation-only premiere.

The night will definitely be the most fashionable night of the year, which is why one amazing stylist or fashion designer will win N500,000 for the most iconic red carpet look for the night courtesy Diamond bank.*

About Oceans 8

She knows what it’s going to take — a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, including jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target — a necklace that’s worth more than $150 million, and it all goes down at the Met Gala.”
