We were disappointed with the looks these two celebrities gave us. Over the weekend, we experienced a colourful and exciting event at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel when Glitz Africa celebrated some women in Ghana who use their expertise, position and influence to inspire others to make a difference in driving other women forward. For an event like this, there definitely was no room for wardrobe malfunction or bad hair day. Either you avoided the red carpet or stepped out in the best ensemble. Of course, we aren't saying celebrities should break the bank to look stunning on the red carpet but a simple and gorgeous look won't be too much to ask for. The CEO and editor-in-chief of Glitz magazine and Glitz style awards is one of Ghana’s respected fashion icons. Aside from her stunning work ideas she put together to organise an event, her fashion statements have always been top-notch. Media personality, Afia Pokua is best known for her outstanding journalistic work. Although h...
