Now time to talk about the fashion (0f course!) In the Binging with GameChangers 4th episode of Season 2, show host, Seyi Banigbe, switches things up with two vibrant looks.

In the first look, which was styled by Kayito Nwokedi, Seyi looks radiant in this yellow top and pleated black pants designed by Tife. Bold turquoise jewelry from Bland2Glam and nude pumps complete this corporate, playful look.

The pixie cut delicately frames Seyi’s facial features, and the subtle red lip gives an extra pop of colour to the entire look.


For the second look, Seyi dazzles in this Skentele by Etti designed outfit made with Vlisco fabric. The combination of colours and patterns is quite flattering. Bland2Glam accessories and silver heels complete this fun, sophisticated look.
