In what was arguably the biggest red-carpet event of the year, hundreds of A-list stars, celebrities, entertainment and fashion bloggers and leading socialites descended on the red carpet at the Grand Premiere of the Ocean’s 8 movie on Sunday, June 17, 2018, which took place at the Filmhouse Cinemas, Lekki, Lagos.
This top-notch celebrity and fashion event with a MET Ball theme, pulled in stars like Kate Henshaw, Osas Ighodaro, Toke Makinwa, Omoni Oboli, Shaffy Bello, Inidima Okojie, Linda Osifo, Mimi Onalaja, Jemima Osunde, Waje, Simi Drey and hundreds more with more than just eye-catching looks. The celebrity looks instantly began to draw a social media buzz even before the event was over, with everyone wondering who the look of the night would be. Recall that sponsors Diamond Bank had announced that the night’s best stylist would win 500,000 naira, while the designers muse would win 250,000 sponsored by Coca-Cola. The night was also therefore a sassy mix of excitement and, in a way, a style skirmish.
Long before the movie itself premiered, guests were treated to cocktails and light food, while granting interviews to the press pool eager to know what they were wearing and how they felt about the big night.
FilmOne and FilmHouse Cinemas also maintained that the Ocean’s 8 Premiere was much more than just coming to see a movie, rather it was about celebrating achievement and seeing leading women in a different light. Seeing brilliantly talented actresses like Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter on the big screen also had a way of inspiring the younger generation of women to be bold about going after their dreams.
The Ocean’s 8 Premiere was also an opportunity to bring together women of distinct backgrounds and professions, which informed the organisers’ choice of guests, social influencers and partners. With sponsorship from Diamond Bank, Zaron, Coca-Cola and others, the event was more fun and more complete.Afua Osei

]]>Beibei Haven Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mandate to support women and couples through their fertility journey.
Focus is on providing support to couples dealing with Infertility, Pregnancy/baby loss, Genotype challenges etc.
This focus is achieved by providing free fertility treatment grants to low income earners, provide support, information and education, awareness and promote equal access to fertility treatments.
The cake was over 6ft tall, a mix of chocolate fruit cake and vanilla cake sandwiched with vanilla buttercream, created
It was also layered with in built support boards and then covered and decorated with fondant. It was over 6 foot tall and took over 6 weeks to make.
The event which took place at Imax Film house was planned by 3A events and hosted by the amazing Tope Olowoniya who handled the event graciously till the end. The event was blessed by the presence of so many people, family and friends of members of the organization who wanted to show their support.
Due to some causalities that led to the breakdown of the cake, it wasn’t displayed neither was it auctioned. This caused a lot of disappointment but it certainly didn’t stop the celebration of a wonderful event and the message behind the initiative.
The event was blessed with beautiful music from P4 string quartet who razzled and dazzled guess with beautiful harmonies and the game of thrones theme song. Syden SFX was on prime as usual with the snow special effect.
The message was not lost: We all should do our little bit to raise awareness of infertility and attitudes towards infertility and its treatment.
