No beef o, But since we know the makers of the dress, shoe and bag, i think we should also know the makers of her bra, underwear and weave!!! Aside from that Genny is stunning and extremely pretty. Kudos to her

the world's biggest supermodel? For goodness, Linda, this woman [Naomi Campbell] is a retired 'professional' who usually lends herself out to rich, older white men who are old enough to her father (okay, this guy she is with at the moment is different from her usual salad or say we say sugar daddy)!

Surprise said...

They look alike in the pix o.

the hair looks like it was hit by a whirlwind of humid temperatures. and whats up with some black people wearing "nude" pumps. they may be nude for white people but they just look beige on black people (unless you're really light skinned). the shoes are cute, but aren't they meant to be worn as "nude" or does it not matter? SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE! lol. the dress is cute. too.
but the weave just knocked her about 5 points for me. something simple and straight would have done the trick, IN MY OPINION.

Why is Genevieve always looking like she's forty?

omotola come and see how to dress.

Chilling said...

I was there Linda and different people were going up to Naomi to take pictures with her. She was really friendly and unassuming. My company are co-sponsors of the event.

World's biggest model? Retired or still working? Retired; IMO Linda Evangelista and still working; IMO Giselle.

Best black model for Naomi? Possibly. Best catwalk; definitely Naomi.

jobsfornaija said...

Nice dress, But the hair......it just isnt doing it for me.

Am so happy Gen is going places, she seems like such a likeable person! Very pretty too

Anonymous said...

l can bet this blog part manages the image/pr of this lady hence the endless mention of 'everything genevieve'. very soon we will be informed when she 'goes to the toilet.

Anonymous said...

So Genevieve has collected 20,000 dollars from Good Luck Jonathan campaign and off to London. She won't even stay to vote?

hot N cold said...

So, nude shoes are only meant for the whites/light skinned people? Please stop that rubbish! When did this one start? Anybody can wear any colour of shoes and clothes. All these I too know fashion people... Nude and beige my ass..lol

Genny looks beautiful(as usual). The 2nd pic doesn't look too good even for Naomi too. I guess it's the lighting or whatever..:)

Anonymous said...

she looks older than naomi who is almost a decade older than her. She looks really rough and that hair is crap. plus why do we worship money so? soon we will be bowing down for her...tbh, she is nothing special.

We've forgotten the "nollywood for Jonathan" video sage so quick have we? Genny is now the favourite again abi?

Naija we can never change,

Anonymous said...

Nigerian girls and their myopic views; wanting to belong by every means possible and with very short attention span! Only a few days ago, news came to light of how this woman helped in looting Nigeria's fund while asking us to vote for a man who is jointly responsible in bringing Nigeria to its kneels.
Without valid reasons or setting out his policies, she tried to persuade us into giving him our mandate. With the pay off (from our treasury - mind you), she has jetted to the west and now showing off her latest material purchase and yet, all that some air heads can do is ooh-ahh...her? Shame on you lot! This woman knows that you lot are fickle and that yesterday's news is today's boli paper and you have just validated that! She is now pulling a Rihanna on you knowing that all she needs do is to change her weave and acquire a new pair of Louboutins and you will all be eating from her paws in a short time. What would it really take to make an effective fundamental change in that country? We have now sold out to celebrity worship, what a shame! Suffering and smiling because we just have TO BELONG!!

Give back to the society. Think about it.

Hater Detector said...

Focus on the event, especially the pictures and forget the Goodluck saga for a minute.!

She look's alright

Anonymous said...

@Hater Detector - Yes, let's focus on the event, why don’t we. Well, needless to say that you just shot yourself in the foot right there! Isn't the event a charity fundraising one? See, even the likes of Naomi Campbell, who is notorious for bad behaviour is doing something positive - giving back! But wait, your idol couldn't even mention a charity organisation or set out ways in which she has helped the environment around her! What has she done? A number of us vilified Omotola for going out, showing her bulge; we chastised her just for being human. What we failed to mention is the fact that regardless of what Omotola was doing to remain relevant, she stands for the truth and has more integrity than twenty Nnajis put together! When Nnaji was asked about the ills of her country, she said and I quote "I can't diss my own country". Now sit and ponder over that for a millisecond! Of course she couldn't “diss” her country because she has been paid not to! Mentioning the glaring obvious of bad leadership and fraud and how we are tackling it would have been a positive but for the sake of the funds she gets from our kitty, she refused to call a spade what it is! She would rather buy the latest shoes in a bid to make herself into a Victoria Beckham clone which would catapult her into the next hot topic on Bellanaija or LindaIkeji. This is the same lady who was rumoured to have dated Atiku and Dbanj! So much for mentoring! What wouldn’t she do for money? I wonder! She doesn't have to give back if she doesn't want to, that is her prerogative. However, when she tries meddling with the electorate’s head regarding the future of a whole nation, then castigated - she must!

You guys will be shocked when Nnaji will break the news of something great she has planned for the society. Some of you are terrible. People just derive pleasure in chatting rubbish about others and acting like they live the perfect life. I bet some of you can't take the next step without reading something about Nnaji...good or bad. Unfortunately for y'all she's got plastic ears and a very thick skin. Talk all you want, when you're tired you simply buzz off!

ok she might start needing some botox injections here and there cos our darling genny is starting to look older than she really is. i am all for fillers and botox all in moderation. nothing extreme. nothing wrong with aging too, however now that she is getting all the international accolades, she might need to step up a little

Thats my Girl! am so proud of Genevieve and as i always say, she holds her own!

Thank u Hot N Cold,that is why many Nigerians will not move forward,when they're busy trying to destroy the joy of another person.....miss Nnaji God has bless u to be very great nd u will continue to shine till ur enemies eat their words....some pple re very funny all they do is to come out here nd pour out their jealousy in buckets(pls continue to do so b4 dis jealousy brings cancer of the fingers...lol).Atleast it will reduce going to all dis native doctors to destroy them.....hehehehhehee

Seriously, Genny although you have had a rotten past, God has ctatpulted you to this level so pleaseee, use ur time wisely.....it doesnt last forever.

pam said...

The vitriol and stark ignorance exhibited by some commenters never fail to astound me.
in the haste to label Genevieve as a money grubbing amoral bitch (what this has to do with her acting beats me hollow) you toss out lies as if they are facts.
Who says Genny doesn't do charity? Have you been in her ass since she started working? Does she need to turn every charity opp to a photo opp? I know she gives to charity. Its nothing hidden.

Secondly all this bashing of artistes who choose to publicly support GEJ is the most hypocritical claptrap Ive seen.
Please PUBLICLY stand for whomever you choose. There would only be issues if I see the same artiste cheer leading in GEJ, Ribadu and Buhari's camp. Its called a democracy. Politically correct dictatorship brigade see no irony in their bullshit.

so called progressive should not exhibit traits of tyranny when it comes to free choice of fellow Nigerians. It is ugly and deeply hypocritical. If a 1/2 million naira contract was waved in 99% of we darling commenters faces from this corrupt Govt thanksgiving and tithing would ensue.

Genny looks great. Naomi looks great. aside from their looks they are 2 hard working black women successful over time in tough fields whether western or third world. I applaud them. I applaud Linda.

@ anon 10:28am

GET OUT OF HERE!!!

What about, I am tired of Nigerians always complaining and critizing everything. Geez, she's a celebrity in the entertainment industry, so what do people expect?

If you can mention one or two things you have done for the country to better it then I will actually take you seriously.

If people want to see change, then you go after the governement not a citizen who is just trying to live her life. What has she actually done that is so bad? She wears wig, ok, bad choice of hairstyle, designer shoes or dress, so freaking what?

I'm not crazy about celebrities but I will personally say she's ok. I haven't heard any bad stories about her neither has she represented Nigeria/Africa in a bad way, so what's your point?

One of the things that has helped other developed countries is learning to support each other as opposed to constantly tearing each other down. I am confident in this that one of the biggest problems in Africa is constantly pointing finger at others for no darn reason. I have no problem with criticizing someone who is a bad representation but it makes no sense is PLAIN STUPID.

ify said...

genevieve looks old because she's still living a rotten lifestyle. person wey dey 30 yrs wey look like say she dey 40. make una dey admire am..role model ko, role model ni.una no know wetin the irl dey do for her life. she has always been private so nobody will know. and she's good at keeping her business away from everyone except herself.

@Bitchy Queen, you make me laugh in patois, lol...if anonymous lacks integrity in displaying his/her name, what should we say about you, sweetie? I suppose you are upright yourself since you gallantly said your real name, innit? Is Bitchy Queen your name or alias? Huh? I suppose the answer does lie in the name, innit?

Anonymous said...

why all the fuss about whether Genny contributes to charity or not? how do you know that she is not contributing quietly without press attention? are we not being too hasty in judging her? So what if GEJ paid her 4m naira to campaign for him? she is an actress, for goodness sake and she makes her money appearing on television! This appearance in London, for instance, was for charity! but then again, I guess some people like the anonymous commenter @10.28 are too silly to see that!

Anonymous said...

@April 7, 2011 10:09 what has Anony 10:28 said that was not true nothing so don't castigate this person as they said it all correctly.

As for gene she is really looking very old even older than naomi who is about 8 years older than her i wonder what is going on.

All i would say is that gene be careful as the recent characters you are associating with might get you into trouble with this new fame you have found.

What is the big deal here. I met the former british prime minster and worked in a company where the queen of england came to visit us there on a tour so does that now mean i have arrived? Please people lets here word with this gene matter. There were other people there who had their picture taking with naomi and other celebs and they are not making noise about it enough of this gene issue. I have nothing against her but of recent the manner in which she is trying to belong is really getting iritating now.!!!

Anonymous said...

@ Ify, go get a life.

No wonder people always laugh at Africans especially whites because they know how much they are winning, and how much they have played with our minds to automatically hate our own but worship everything from America or Europe.

All over Africa, Africans idolize Beyonce, Rihanna, Halle Berry, etc. They go as far to look like them, Bey's wig, Rihanna edgy look. Tell me how much they have given back to charities or what they have done for Africa. I don't expect them to, I'm just saying.

But no, when our own brothers and sisters are actually trying to do something, that's when all the bitter, big mouths come and go on to insult them. My thing, there's still a lot of work that needs to be done but encouragement and support will go a long way.

Anon April 8, 2011 1:09 AM; what does her being bisexual have to do with this post?

The pictures of the event are in Hello and Ok this week and not one had Genny's picture! I guess she was just on a shopping trip to Westfield, she stumbled on the free entry event and she went in. No biggie!!

I think anyone can wear nude shoes. It's just like saying red lipstick is only for Caucasians, Asians and very light skinned people. However she didn't team it up well with this dress.

Naomi looks good.

hot N cold said...

Lol...she's Bi? when will u guys stop? Bunch of wicked, hateful people. I bet you screw animals!
Seriously why do u guys want her to slow down? Would you slow down if you had things going well for you abi na curse dem curse una?
She looks 40? *roll eyes* this attitude u girls hv is horrible. It's shocking. She has a rotten past? I hear u. what's ur past like, Miss Mary? Free d chic abeg.

Mena UkodoisReady said...

Naomi Campbell is stunning and just like with Nike Osinowo, Gene looks ordinary in comparison with them.

In my opinion, Gene does need the make up and the hair. She looks millions times more beautiful with absolutely no make up, a bit of gloss on her lips and with her natural hair properly tonged, or with say braids (for the glam look)

The babe was blessed with natural good looks by nature and unlike Nike and Naomi, she doesnt need a truck load of make up,botox, cosmetic surgery nor other 'enhancements' for a photoshoot.

Once she bows to pressure of being an 'icon' and attempt to tow the same line as those veterans, she ends up looking plain and tired.

Make up and big hair doesnt enhance the looks of everyone. Linda Ikeji is another example that doesnt need much make-up cus she already has the looks that cant be faked or purchased.

u criticise her bcause she date Atiku,tell me ow many of u will not jump @ it if u ve d opportunity...she's a sharp girl atleast she doesnt marry d old man unlike some women..
A man bought my flat 4 me in london and am proud of myself,am a very hard working lady &i work my ass off to get 2 where i am 2day.am born as woman for man to look after me.u need to see how men rip women off in london so wen i see a sister riping them off i support it 100%.

genny is a smart girl n shes making use of her time..i dt knw y u re expecting too much frm dis lady, y dt u think wat u can do 4 ur country rather dan wat genny and nigeria will do 4 u? u also can give something back 2 ur country.
i make my money abroad, i pay tax and also organise fashion show 4 charity in my community to give back.

LASTLAUGH said...

See the length of this thread and they still ask stupid question like " what is the big deal about Genny"?? The fact that some of you are here determined to tear the girl to pieces means SHE IS ALL THAT AND A BAG IF CHIPS!!! You will die first before you admit it i know but that's my point exactly. You hate her and yet here you are wasting your precious time talking about her..thereby increasing her popularity which takes her even further beyond the skies, causing increase on your migraine which brings you back here to vent even more, which blows her up even bigger than ever.....and the vicious circle goes on and on and on and on an.... LESSON! YOU CANT STOP HER. AND THATS BECAUSE YOU CANT STOP YOURSELVES FROM BITCHING?

LetsBeHonest said...

You are nobody unless people talk about you. Genny Baby you are somebody. Don't give up the fight and keep climbing to the international top. Forget all the haters stuck in 9ja doing nothing and wishing they could be stars. Stars on a dry red carpet in Lagos. There are many people stealing big cash from the govt acting like big boys and being praised. They cheat on their wives and have many girlfriends but you Genny are the one they want to use as scapegoat...scheeew!
