Fashion faux pas: Gifty Osei scored 10 over 100

A renowned style coach, Ms Nancy, has advised gospel musician, Gifty Osei, to get a personal stylist following her fashion faux pas at the VGMAs.

She said she will rate the dress of the Gospel act at the VGMAs 10 over 100.

The Gospel Diva has come under severe public backlash over the years over her choice of costume for events. Osei in an interview on Adom TV revealed that the ‘mosquito net’ gown she wore for this year’s VGMAs cost her $2000 and it was bought in Dubai. In 2012, Osei at the same VGMAs wore a bra-less dress that got fans bashing and calling her names. At another event the Gospel Musician became a subject of discussion after her outfit’s hip-pad got exposed while performing.

Speaking in an interview with Livefmghana.com, Ms Nancy noted Osei’s dress at the recent VGMAs best fits for a ballroom event.

“She could have gone in for something simple yet impressive,” she opined. “I think Gifty is a beautiful woman and with her chosen profession, she needs a style coach. Someone who will help her define her style, know her body size and check her wardrobe and that is the job of a style coach.”

According to her, for a music awards night, one must wear something elegant, very feminine and in a colour that complements your skin tone, and gives enough comfort for a dance if you feel like it.

“Having a stylist who will just get a dress for you because it is in vogue or will look nice on you is not enough, it is the duty of a style coach to help you discover your body’s selling point and would advice you on the type of clothing in that light.

“I will give her 10 out of 100; I believe that you can be beautiful without going beyond. She should have considered her genre of music and dressed appropriately,” Ms Nancy noted.

Born Nancy Adobea Anane, Miss Nancy, was chaperon for TV3’s Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant. She is currently working at the Brands and Events office at Starr103.5 FM in Accra and a member of the International Association of Style Coaches (IASC).

Trained by the Style Coaching Institute in the UK, Ms Nancy is a proud image projection and personal grooming consultant, with an impressive portfolio to match.

After her secondary education at St Monica’s Girls Senior High, she furthered it by enrolling into the Institute of Business Management & Journalism in Kumasi.
