The A-list guests at The Sun Awards ceremony came out stylish in different outfits. From their dresses, shoes, handbags and jewellery, class and charm radiated.
Two among the female awardees are known style icons in Nigeria and abroad for their outstanding dress sense. And they came to the event making fashion statement.
Mrs. Folorunso Alakija, who was a former President of Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN) and Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, a life Patron of FADAN came out with impeccable styles.

She entered the venue of the event with style, accompanied by entourage of her Rose of Sharon Foundation officials and beneficiaries, who were decked in red Ankara prints.
Senator Florence Ita-Giwa was trendy and looked chic in her immaculate red gown. Her dress adorned with embellished frontal gave her a glam effect for the evening. As she mounted the podium to receive her award, you noticed the winged designed dress flowing freely.

Stupendously stylish is the apt description for Empress Pat Baywood Ibe. Her dramatic floral dress with black lacey trimmings at the sleeves stood out. Her husband, Chris Baywood Ibe, appeared in stylish trousers and top.
Fidelity Bank Managing Director, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, showed finesse in his dressing as an accomplished banker, well fitted blue suit, with immaculate white shirt.

Prof Ishaq Oloyede also came out stunning in his simple native attire. However, the state governors had different pattern of dressing.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State was decked in traditional “Isi Agu” outfit and cap
