It was designer Veekee James’ 30th birthday yesterday, and Nigerian celebrities didn’t miss the opportunity to show their support for her as she marked the milestone.

The designer Mai Atafo hosted the event. And the veteran actress, Eucharia Anunobi, announced the award for best dressed, which came with a ₦1 million cash prize.

But while the festivities were on, we watched from the safety that Mark Zuckerberg has provided what the celebrities wore to the event. There were lots of feathers and rhinestones, one haywire hat and a lot of black monochrome looks.

Here is what the celebrities wore to the event, our thoughts and of course, their scores.
