Style ME season III

Style Me is a Nigerian style makeover show produced by The Cinder Company and presented by Isioma Onochie Aihie and a resident Style expert. After an exciting search, the resident Style Expert/Style Me co-host for Season 3 is Zainab Ashadu, an ex-model who has transitioned to a career in styling/image consulting.

Every episode of Style Me features a style confrontation and makeover of a woman, and sometimes a man who has been nominated either by themselves or friends and relatives for a style enhancement or overhaul!


The show is shot over 2 -3 days in the style subjects’ life. The style subject has their current style sense evaluated by the presenters, who pay particular attention to the style subjects’ size, shape and lifestyle. They are encouraged to discard old styles and life habits and are given rules and tips on what style will work for them as well as their daily lives.

The style subject is then given 100,000 Naira to shop for a new wardrobe, which is supposed to be in accordance with the rules and tips they have been given. To ensure that they do not stray, the style subjects are chaperoned by a style assistant whose duty it is to offer guidance.
Style subjects are taken to hair, skin and make up specialists to be given a thorough makeover and expert advice. They are revealed at the end of the show in their new “looks” and hopefully, boosted confidence levels!

This is na imitation of "style her famous" and "How do I look" of Style Network. Its no doubt a good concept, but we can develop an original concept that is truly Nigerian. We complain that we are the whites are prejudiced but we copy everything they do It doesn't make sense please

Pretty much the same concept as the What Not to Wear TV show here in the U.S. on TLC. I do like the idea for Naija tho.

I don't mind the fact that they're doing something like this in Nigeria, but like someone said, it'll be great if we could come up with original concepts for our own shows...This is exactly the same concept as 'How do i look?' on the style network..It seems to me like they're copying...Not too impressive..
