Yoruba actress, Bukky Wright recently had a chat with blogger, Kemi Adefon and during the course of the insightful interview, the veteran screen goddess gave clues on how she has remained stunning all these years.
On staying young and healthy
“I work-out daily. Though I also play tennis, I am a stickler for vegetables. I eat lots of fruits and I produce my fresh juice every morning in my kitchen. I am not a fussy eater—my breakfast is pap/akara or sandwiches, no lunch and very light dinner—I rarely eat after 7.00pm.”
On what her wardrobe looks like
“Mine is not the normal wardrobe because it’s built wall-to-wall and I have different sections for clothes, bags, jewellery and shoes. There is no colour of shoes that I don’t have. Unfortunately, I sell shoes, so I end up keeping every colour for myself and I keep acquiring more. Though I give out a lot of these shoes, I must have almost a thousand pairs for myself. I see everything I buy with my money as a treasure in my closet. I can’t really say a particular item or accessory is a treasure because I like everything that is of quality. It could fall dead for a big bag anyday. Good bags are treasures, so are good jewellery. Good shoes are a treasure, so are good native attire. As long as it’s good, it is OK for me.”
The inspiration behind her dress sense
“The occasion determines what I wear. Moreover, my mood is also a determinant. The worth of what I wear at a particular time? I can’t say everything worn at a particular event is worth any amount of money because the end result is what gives me the kick. I can buy jewellery worth millions of naira but if I don’t look good in it, then it is senseless wearing it. I don’t look at the money, I prefer how it fits. That’s why I create my own fashion; wear what suits me and what makes me look great. Evening dresses? I wear them for very formal occasions and I don’t have any particular designer. I hate wearing common items or cheap things but I go for what befits my look.
