Anna Banner marked her second pregnancy with a three-part photo series. The shoot features multiple themes, from minimal styling to high-fashion looks.

The three looks move from a soft ivory draped gown, to a bridal mermaid with a floral tulle hem, and close out with a graphic black-and-white polka dot statement look.

For her first look, Anna wore a floor-length ivory maternity gown from Nelo Woman. The dress had a high neckline and was crafted from a lightweight, semi-sheer fabric that draped over her figure. Layered over the gown was a cape in a matching ivory shade. The dress had a long train. Her accessories included a gold bracelet on her left wrist and a simple ring on her finger. Anna’s makeup, done by Glowwithlilian was neutral-toned which included arched brows, soft-brown smoky eye and a matte nude-brown lip to finish. Banner’s hair was styled in a smooth, long straight look with a clean middle part to complement her outfit.

For the second look, Anna Banner transitioned into a bridal-inspired style. She wore a strapless white bodycon gown that highlighted her figure, flaring out at the knees into a mermaid-style hem filled with 3D purple, pink, and orange flowers.

A long, sheer cathedral-length veil was tucked into her sleek low bun, which was styled with a clean middle part. Her makeup consisted of a warm eyeshadow blend and a glossy nude lip. She accessorized her outfit with a gold bracelet and a simple ring, while her footwear remained hidden beneath the layers of floral tulle and billowing fabric.

Her final look of the series is centered on a graphic black-and-white polka dot theme. Anna Banner wore a halter-neck mermaid gown from Heiress Couture Nigeria that fit snugly to her shape, flowing into a multi-layered ruffled skirt at the bottom. The ruffles were edged with black-and-white stripes, adding a sharp contrast to the dots above.

She complemented her outfit with an oversized, matching polka dot fascinator from Scarlet Nigeria tilted to one side. Her hair styled by Hairssence was pulled back into a smooth low bun. Anna’s makeup featured a classic bold red lip and winged eyeliner. She accessorized the look with chunky white statement earrings and a gold bracelet.

Tems attended the 2026 BRITS Awards in a head-to-toe white look on 28 February. She didn’t just light up the red carpet; she also presented the International Artist of the Year award to Spanish pop star Rosalía.

The outfit balanced simplicity with dramatic detailing on the corset, with delicate lace trims and visible textural details, and a bandeau neckline. Off-shoulder sleeves added volume and extended outward, contrasting the fitted bodice, while the lower half flowed into layered lace with a front split, giving the dress a soft, graceful shape.

The all-white choice seemed deliberate. White often represents purity and virtue. For Tems, who has risen from a Nigerian star to a world music force, the colour felt symbolic. It reflected a new beginning and maturity. She did not rely on heavy colours or vibrant outfits. Instead, she allowed defined fabric and tailoring to speak.

Her hairstyle gave cultural weight to her look. It was styled by Dunsin Wright, where she wore three pigtail-thick braided woven loops, styled neatly to elevate her outfit. This hairstyle draws from distant African braiding traditions. The braids are seen as minimalist and protective, but for this look, they are expressive. On a global stage like the BRIT Awards, this choice subtly affirmed her Nigerian identity. It was a sight of her roots even in equipped fashion spaces.

Her makeup balanced it all with her dress. Deep ombre red glossy lips and defined smokey wing eyes added richness, preventing the white ensemble from feeling washed out. Statement earrings completed the look, adding sparkle without distraction.

Tems’ all-white look reflects the woman she has grown into. From Lagos to international stages as this one, she is fully aware of her place in the industry and mirrored her journey in a minimalistic all-white dress. It defined her authenticity and quiet power.

On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, Tiwa Savage took to her Instagram with the message “After years of building globally… It’s time to build at home”. She also announced the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation and a partnership with Berklee College of Music.

The 46-year-old Afrobeats star is on a mission to give young African creatives something she once had to travel far to find: access to formal music education. The first step is a fully funded four-day intensive programme called Berklee in Nigeria: Tiwa Savage Intensive Music Program, taking place in Lagos from April 23 – 26, 2026, for 100 selected participants, tuition-free.

This is also a historic moment. It will be one of the first major Berklee-led programmes in West Africa.

“I know this personally because at the age of 24, I was awarded a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music,” she said “It made me realise that talent alone isn’t enough. Structure, education, and exposure are what allow creatives to compete globally.”

Live performance, songwriting, music production, sound engineering, and the business side of music. But Tiwa also made it very clear that this is not just for artists. “An industry cannot stand on artists alone,” she said. “Behind every global sound is an ecosystem of producers, engineers, entertainment lawyers, publishers, innovators, composers.”

“As technology reshapes music, we must be prepared,” she said. “The question is whether we will be educated leaders in this space, or observers left behind.”

Berklee President Jim Lucchese described Tiwa as “one of our most accomplished and dedicated alumni and called the programme “a tremendous and unique opportunity for global artists.”

Applications opened up February 24, 2026 and will close March 20, 2026. It is open to musicians, producers, songwriters, sound engineers, and music creatives across Africa.

For years, African artists have travelled the world chasing an opportunity like this, but this time Tiwa Savage is bringing the opportunity home.
