Though not of the same age, they are ageing gracefully and appear not ready to wane fashion wise. Spotted at the venue of Chief Ogunshola’s 70th birthday last weekend, the Yeye Oge of Lagos and Consul of the Republic of Liberia, Chief Opral Benson, was all vitality and youthful elegance as she moved around, exchanging pleasantries with guests. Not many would believe she clocked 79 years in February. This wife of late first Republic Information Minister, T.O.S Benson, does not look a minute older than 70. Dressed in a white guipure lace, she nailed the look with a hat and exotic accessories.
For Chief Onikepo Akande, who will hit 70 years in a few months, nothing gives her age away. She seems to be ageing backwards! Dressed in a coffee brown/cream beaded lace, she completed the look with a fascinator of same hue. Known for exquisite jewellery, she was the cynosure of eyes at the high octane shindig.
Last but not the least of the trio is Maiden, wife of Alex Ibru, the late publisher of Guardian newspapers. She will be 65 years come November but her glowing complexion and stunning figure do not depict her age. Quite fashionable, she attracted attention in her champagne hued attire.
