DRESS CODE STYLISH: Red Carpet Options For Swahili Fashion Week 2014! Sat 6th December @ SEACLIFF HOTEL, Dar es Salaam

Casual, plain and girly for those not keen on dressing up

Mix traditional and casual with a large colourful clutch

Front row looks require good grooming, photogenic clothing and perfect smiles!

Quirky and kitsch for those who rock fashion and want to keep cool

Front row and in a short dress?  Be careful how you sit as the cameras will capture it all

Old style Hollywood glamour in satin for those wanting to dress up

Sparkle the night away with a dress and shiny shoes

High street glamour is original and affordable

Pale outfits will work well with dramatic eye makeup and pale lips

( MAYA MIA Cosmetics, Dar es Salaam )

Sultry and sassy for the look that turns heads

Makeup can be heavier and and less subtle at fashion shows as the lighting is dim 

Couture for those wearing the latest off the runway

Trendy in monochrome and with dark lipstick as a contrast
