Fashion Police On The Prowl: Winnie Nwagi, Kaijuka Abbas, Sylvia Alibhai, Fille and More

Welcome to Fashion Police, a new column where our cop is on the prowl to apprehend fashion and style offenders. Expect verdicts such as Flop-ish, fly, hot mess and flop. 

Hot on our list this week is Winnie Nwagi; whose wardrobe seems to have suffered a fatal accident…

Tina Teise 

Even a broken clock is right twice a day but there’s nothing right about Tina’s look. At first glimpse I wondered why the nursery teacher aesthetic; especially that domesticated weave. I have no kind words for that skirt either; the pattern reminds me of kindergarten art and it should have been shorter too (if the look was to be salvaged in any way). The turtle neck blouse and its attempted match to the shoes and the wibbly-wobbly skirt spell ‘church secretary’, a look reserved for fussy old women.

VERDICT; HOT-MESS

4/10

Winnie Nwagi

Before I get into my commentary, let me ask, who goes to another person’s wedding dressed like this? Winnie Nwagi’s wedding look is a shining example of why you should avoid a bright red clown wig! It looks like a progressed helmet. This wig should never have left the video shoot of “musawo”. Don’t even get me started on this bin bag we are now calling a dress; it’s so tight and light, you can see the veins in her ass! Her assets are suffocating like ten pounds of smashed potatoes packed into a five pound bag. Dear Swangs Avenue, Winnie needs a stylist ASAP!

VERDICT; FLOP

Sheebah and Suni from Natna Hair 

I love these looks.

Sheeba’s look is so clean I’m in love with it. She rocked that blazer and the belt had adequate bling to keep it classy. The fringe skirt is serving life; making the look slightly playful and the lace-up boots are a great addition to the ensemble. The stoned tights though should be reserved for drag queens, they aren’t cute to say the least. But the overall look gets a nod from me, especially her well done makeup and her ‘Sheebah by Natna‘ hair.

Sina was all round classy and neat in her black party dress and pointed silver shoes. Nothing special though, this look can be seen at any wedding reception these days.

VERDICT; FLY

On a brighter note, she had the right attitude. On the rest of the notes, she was a walking, talking breathing overdone disaster! Her little black dress was eccentric, modern and exquisite. I wonder what kind of green devil convinced her to kill the left sleeve with that gargantuan bangle! So uncalled for. The chocker was an overindulgence and the shoes (though nice) took attention away from the dress making this look noisy. All her elements are screaming for attention. That hive hairdo, a big NO. The shades? Why in Wakanda is she wearing shades indoors?

VERDICT; HOT-MESS

3/10

Vinka

Vinka looked simple and smart…but too simple if you asked me. I love the little black dress, the front slit on an already short dress makes her looking like a “working girl” though and that’s not a look anyone of sound mind would want. The earrings should have been bigger and more intricate to make a statement since the dress was already simple. The shoes are okay… nothing remotely special about this pair. The hair style though should not be worn ever again. Dear Vinka, this hair makes your head look bigger.

VERDICT; FLY-ISH

7/10

Winnie Nwagi 

Winnie Nwagi looks like a Harlem gangster’s girlfriend in a 70’s movie. She reminds me of that ratchet girl that invites herself to weddings just so she can eat food. The leather jacket could have been chic but when coupled with cheap jewelry, the horrid head scarf, the glasses and the crusty shade of lipstick, it turned into hooker couture. I will not even discuss the camel toe because that will craft a full lecture of its own.

VERDICT; FLOP

1/10

Fille

Fille dazzles in this yellow number. The brown floral applique on the arms and the flared pants are nothing short of exquisite. The red pump added a pop of color to an already beautiful outfit. The neat hair, flawless makeup and jewelry make this look reign supreme.

VERDICT; FLY

10/10

Zulanda 

Zulanda’s look makes me swoon. The leather jacket and ripped jeans work effortlessly well. The white sneakers give me happy feet and the red hat draws attention to his face, where the stylish sunglasses complete this urban cool kid look.

VERDICT; FLY

10/10

Winnie Nwagi

Where do I start? The wig is thirsty! This retro 90’s look actually worked for Ms Nwagi. The checkered shirt showed just enough boob to keep it fashionable. The loose fitting baggy jeans and swanky sunglasses nailed this look. The pose though could have been a little more tasteful.

VERDICT; FLY-ISH

7/10

This dress was the bomb! The structure, construction and combination of fabrics was amazing…then this girl happened to it. Her makeup left a lot to be desired, those braids could have used a little bit of styling, her total lack of accessories is beyond my ability to be shocked (let’s not count her boyfriend’s titanic watch as an accessory, it was far too befuddling). The shoes are a wonderful pair, but not good for this outfit. Then the ki bra! Yuck! Look at the way it peeps at you from behind and are those back rolls?! I’m done.

VERDICT; HOT-MESS

4/10

Bridget and Eth

Well well well, if it isn’t the Bonnie and Clyde of bad fashion. Dear mister, I can’t help but wonder why as to you’d combine this dope shirt to these floral pants? Whatever it is that he was trying to achieve with this look failed miserably.

This young lady’s hood couture has me confused, why does she look like she’s about to fight somebody? She needs to lose the cape. A black vest, the leather skirt and belt would have sufficiently held down this look, the cape makes it theatrical… kinda like a bat woman costume. Highlights in her hair would have atleast popped life into this gloom look. I guess the shades were meant to hide the obvious confusion.

VERDICT; HOT-MESS

5/10

Keith Karuhura and Rachael K

Rachael 

This outfit pays homage to the late 90’s and girl you pulled it off! The mini dress, the over-throw shirt, the clutch all seamlessly work together. The up-do of the hair and those boots are the icing to the cake. Wonderful

VERDICT; FLY

10/10

Keith

This look was supposed to be playful and fun but he was let down by that horrid fabric! The bow tie being the same color as the pants also make the look matchy-matchy. Then the white suspenders, NO. If the pattern of the fabric had been different, maybe this could have rocked but right now it’s just campy.

VERDICT; FLOP

2/10

Sylvia Namutebi Alibhai 

Sylvia has a bag of tricks and I’m here for this particular one! She looks like the Countess of Monte Cristo in this maroon number. This has to be the coolest wrap dress worn on a red carpet in Kampala this year. I’m in owe. The chocker and shoes let the dress stand out beautifully.

VERDICT; FLY

10/10

Kaijuka Abbas

Even stylists have their bad fashion days. Abas must have decided to wear whatever trendy element he had, then out came this bout of muddle. Why wear a lace shirt then throw a vest over it? Where does that work? Lace is a stand-alone fabric for crying out loud. The vest with the fur needs to go, the chain as well.

VERDICT; HOT-MESS

4/10

I’m all here for the Fringe dress, its hotit’sts shows off the curves of her body and accentuates her burst. However, this dress must be accessorized with much caution or else it can go south, just like it did here. The dreadful red wig unfortunately waters this look down to the ladies of the night and the glass (porn star) slippers do little to salvage the situation. The bag should be reserved for church on Sunday.

VERDICT; FLOP-ISH
