MADAM
JUMLAR SPLASHES MILLIONS ON HERSELF FOR SON’S WEDDING
Madam
Jumlar needs not to be introduced before you know she is the mother of the
groom, despite the fact that the outfit she wore was also rocked by the bride’s
mother and two of her family members, she still stood out from the crowd.
Her
outfits for the wedding was extremely beautiful, she stole the show at her own
party because everybody couldn’t help but focus on her. One thing that made her
a cynosure of all eyes is her huge and unique 18karat gold. The 18karat gold,
which sat perfectly on her neck is a full set that consist of the earnings,
necklace, bangles and ring and this beautiful set of jewelries became the point
of attraction.
You
need no jeweller to tell you before you know that the 18karat gold cost
millions of naira. Usually, everybody believes that only a HOH sequence lace
can make you stand out in any party. Contrary to that, Madam Jumlar didn’t
follow the crowd when choosing her outfit. We also had to change our
perceptions when we saw her in a beautiful, embellished peach fabrics. She
looked so stunning that everyone couldn’t take their eyes of her. Another
factor that enhanced her beauty is that, she is always seen wearing a beautiful
smile.
Many
people wanted to catch a glimpse of her outfit because they all know that she
has a high taste for luxury. As said earlier, she is known for her love for
luxury things but she bit everybody’s expectation with her outfit because it
was exceptional.
Beautiful
and light skinned Madam Jumlat leaves no stone unturned as she makes sure her
outfit is not the regular outfit we see on society women whenever they have a
function.
Did
we also tell you that she rocked one of the best designer shoe? The peach
coloured shoe was eye-catching because the design aren’t the common design we
see everywhere.
Let
us also tell you that her 18 karat gold was specially crafted for her by one of
the biggest gold dealers in the world.
