Known to her legion of fans as “Omo Sexy,” Omotola was named in the company of other icons including Aung San Sun Kyi and another lover of fancy color diamonds – Beyoncé.

For the big occasion, Omotola truly was an advocate for the “black is beautiful” camp, wearing  a black dress by Nigerian designer, Nanci Nwadire, stunning earrings, and a magnificent black diamond cocktail ring.
