Elizabeth Akinola popularly known as Zeal is one of the fast rising artistes in the entertainment industry. The mother of one who hails from Ondo State, in this interview, spoke with SEYI SOKOYA on her take on fashion as well as why she would not show off her body  for any reason . Excerpts:

Definition of style.
STYLE to me is an outward expression of what I feel; hence it is my ever evolving image.I ensure I dress uniquely and try to wear styles that will make me get noticed. However, wherever I am going, who I am going  to meet  as well as  my mood determine the way I dress.

Beauty regimen.
It is all about exfoliating, cleansing and  moisturising.

I have flair for natural products like shea butter, black soap and osun. For make-up, I glow with concealer,  I apply foundation then,
powder my face.  I use Kajal, mascara and  I am good to go.  Most days, I use lip gloss and kajal.

Choice of accessories.
I can't really choose or mention a particular one  when it comes to accessories, it usually depends on my outfit. The occasion determines the kind of accessories I go for.

Favourite designers.
My favourite designers are Vivienne Westwood and Oscar de la Renta.

Favourite perfumes.
Amouage, Armani code, Juicy couture.

Favourite colour.
Red, no doubt about that.

Exercise or diet.
I do both, I believe one should take care of her physical self, both  inward and outward, because it will no doubt enhance my body fitness.

Special treat.
I do facials and go for shoe shopping therapy.

Most expensive item in my wardrobe.
A pair of shoes should be the most expensive item in my wardrobe.

Fashion  icon.
Isabella Blow, Grace Jones, Gwen Stefani.

Opinion  on toning.
I am not interested in that, I think it depends on individuals.

On plastic surgery.
If necessary, I may go for it, especially for defects. But I won’t try it for the sake of aesthetics.

What I like doing to my nails and hair.
I like to paint my nails red; I leave my hair natural, although, sometimes I usually have it in twisted rows.

What I will like to change about myself.
Absolutely nothing because I am pleased with the way I am created so,  there is nothing that  I will want to change about myself.

Secret of my beauty.
God made me whole, so I shine, confident that He did. He’s indeed the secret of my beauty.

Provocative dressing.
I don’t believe in flaunting my body. I feel great with my skin but I have no reason to flaunt my body irrespective of whatever  might be at stake.

What I won’t be caught dead wearing.
Neon green Aladdin pants.

Fashion item I cannot do without.
My red shoes

Hobbies.
Reading and picking beans,  it has a calming effect.

Relaxation.
I unwind with a night out with my girls, painting the town red.

Fashion  blunder.
I am not sure I have committed one and if I have, I probably will continue to do so in the eyes of fashion experts. I am very independent and won't be stereotyped, particularly where fashion is concerned. More so, there are different views to these, everyone has her own perspective of things. You cannot please everyone with the way you dress. I am convinced I am alright with my mode of dressing.
