OLUCHI ONWEAGABA'S POST-BABY LOOK



Oluchi Onweagaba pose for the 2008 swimsuit edition of "Sports Illustrated". This photospread comes fresh off the news of her baby arrival. Oluchi and her designer husband Luca Orlandi welcomed a baby boy named Ugo last year.

If you compare last year's photosoot to this year, Oluchi does NOT look like she pop a baby!

Shot on the sandy beaches of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, Oluchi pose for SI photographer Randall Grant. (And she pose happily with her wedding ring, I might add.)

That modeling swagger is undeniable, isn't?! The fabulous folks over at Naija Gal has a behind-the-scenes clip of Oluchi on the beach set. In the meanwhile, check Oluchi in a yummy yellow dress at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Launch in NYC:

And so from one fabulous fashion-forward diva to the next...

Thandie Newton has clearly proven that a girl cannot wear one too many black ensembles...

Whether Thandie's outfit has black or lace, she has consistently wore it on her past four catwalk gigs. Maybe Thandie's experiencing the same style runt that Estelle also has going on??!

Songs I'm Loving at the moment:
Janet Jackson - Discipline
Once you get past the lyrical content of Janet's slow ballad, the melody is so addictive.
Brandy - Necessary
Brandy grooves over this Cee-Lo produced track which happens to be one of my faves off Brandy's last record, "Afrodisac".
I rotate these two songs back and forth on my iPOD.

Events that went down on April 7th:

  • 1927 - Babatunde Olatunji, Nigerian drummer (d. 2003)

Jin-go-lo-ba (Olantunji's song - Santana famously covered it) at Palookaville in Santa Cruz, California. [YOUTUBE.COM]

Oluchi needs to write a tell-all book on how she got her figure back. She looks even better post-Ugo, lol!
