After the Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow was crowned People Magazine‘s Most Beautiful Woman in the World in April 2013, Y! Magazine is proving the international publication wrong, calling former beauty queen Omowunmi Akinnifesi as not only Nigeria’s but the World’s Most Beautiful Woman.
Judging from how the ex-Miss MBGN
smoulders on the cover and in the Nigerian publication’s June 2013
Issue, we certainly agree. Omowumi looks playful on the cover in a
black-and-white striped dress and black pumps. In the editorial spread,
she rocks geek shades, a sexy print dress and a white figure hugging
dress.
She’s back! And already, she is taking
no prisoners. Omowunmi Akinnifesi, who was Most Beautiful Girl in
Nigeria 2005, has just returned from a 2-year public break, armed with a
Master’s degree from King’s College, London and already busy working on
policy for the Lagos government.
The global pop-culture shock at the
decision coupled with an already seething defensiveness about the
audacity of deciding on the world’s most beautiful female from the
comfort of the United Kingdom inspired us to take the challenge who
would we choose as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman? The editor, Chude Jideonwo,
said Omowunmi Akinnifesi who, incidentally took the Nigerian version of
the title eight years ago, came into the country just right in time.
Omowunmi Akinnifesi won the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) beauty pageant in 2005 at the age of 18. She also represented Nigeria at the Miss Tourism International pageant in Ukraine, where she emerged winner. She came first runner up on Celebrity Takes 2 TV show. Omowunmi is one of the very few MBGN’s that have remained in the headlines even after her reign. In 2009, she was appointed Lagos State’s Environmental ambassador by Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola and she also runs a Public Relations outfit and usher-hiring business, Elle Poise.
