Africa Gives Back Int’l Gala 2016: Nikki Billie Jean Sleeveless Keyhole Scarf Neckline Side Slit Gown

Two Fridays ago, August 19th, I attended the 2nd Annual Africa Gives Back International Gala 2016 at Martin’s Caterers Crosswinds in Greenbelt, Maryland. The event took place to raise awareness and critical funding for a technical skills center in West Africa, Sierra Leone. Back in July, I shared with you the Africa Gives Back International Gala 2016 campaign (photos & video). I was the lead wardrobe stylist for the campaign.

For the event, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and wear a gown (without pants) and a hair style (without a bun). Big up da man dem, FlappJack, for hooking my hair and face up. All I can say is yasss! looking at my make-up in these pictures.

I am very happy with the entire look from head to toe. For the event, I wore a custom Nikki Billie Jean Sleeveless Keyhole Scarf Neckline Side Slit Gown. I wanted to wear a gown that was comfortable, sexy and formal. This dress got the job done.
