The live shows for the seventh season of Nigerian Idol kicked off on Sunday, March 20, and it was such a fun show. The audience finally got to see the chosen 12 take on the big stage and prove that they deserve a chance to compete for the ‘Idol’ title.

The judges also brought their A-game to the show in their looks and comments. In typical fashion, Obi Asika only had constructive criticisms or glowing commendations where needed. D’banj littered the nights with constant chants of ‘your face show, your shoe shine’ and ‘I greet you specially’. On the other hand, Simi had a mix of creative feedback and praises while glowing beautifully.

Simi took centre stage in her gorgeous look, proving that she was indeed the queen of the show – not just as the only female judge but also with her fashion. She dazzled in an orange jumpsuit designed by Lady Beellionaire Luxury, topped with a beautiful honey-blonde up-do and fringe weave. She finished the look with nude heels, gold and pearl accessories, smokey eyes and nude lips. Simi will be serving looks all season long if this first look is anything to go by, and we can’t wait to see it.

D’banj also looked dapper in a white and black blazer with a tail from Gulio Twist. He paired the blazer on a black turtle neck and trouser with black furry mules. Obi Asika, on the other hand, looked like the perfect gentleman in a mustard velvet blazer, black and yellow waistcoat, white shirt, black bowtie and oxford shoes.

IK held down the show with his incredible hosting skills, looking every bit the brilliant mind he is in a three-piece navy blue suit by Deji and Kola, and an ascot cap. He also gave warm remarks to each contestant and made them feel special at the end of every performance.

We are looking forward to more Nigerian Idol fashion moments when the show continues next week Sunday at 7 pm on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv channel 151), Africa Magic Urban (DStv channel 153 and GOtv Supa channel 6) and Africa Magic Family (DStv channel 154 & GOtv channel 2).
