It was all glitz and glam On Sunday, November 26, 2017, at the Exquisite Women of the Year (ELOY) Awards 2017 which took place at Intercontinental hotel, Lagos. The ELOY Awards consistently holds every year to celebrate women who have been exceptional in all their endeavors and various fields during the course of the year and this year being the 9th edition was no different as the ELOY Awards hosted and celebrated Nigerian women from all walks of life.

There was a beauty lounge by Dabota Cosmetics with lots of freebies and free makeovers, instant pick up had a stand where they familiarized guests about their services, they also gave 5 hampers to lucky guests during the course of the event, a mamador oil stand was also on standby as they treated the guests to delicious chicken drum sticks and snails fried on the spot with mamador oil, Martini and coca-cola also had their mini bars where they served guests.
Top designer Ayo Van Elmar also showcased her pieces all over the entryway with beautifully adorned mannequins.
