Dabota Lawson celebrated her birthday on June 2nd in Positano, Italy, with a series of birthday photographs which she captioned “Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. I wish you all of God’s choicest blessings. Cheers to an iconic year.”
Positano is one of the most photographed places in the world, with its pastel buildings climbing up the cliffs and the Mediterranean stretching out below.

Lawson was photographed wearing a pristine white bodycon dress with a ruched torso, soft hip folds and an asymmetric draped off-the-shoulder neckline.
For accessories, Dabota wore a vintage-style headscarf tied under the chin which had a bold black-and-white border design, paired with white-rimmed square sunglasses with dark lenses. She carried an elongated leather clutch in a vibrant pastel yellow. For jewellery, she wore a silver bracelet and a wristwatch on her right wrist.

Her makeup consisted of defined brows, warm earthy tones and a nude lip. Lawson wrapped up her look with silver open-toe stiletto heeled sandals with a criss-cross strap design.

Back in May, Dabota was seen in a white blazer suit with crystal detailing on the shoulders and cuffs for the launch of her Dabota Cosmetics store. That look was tailored and formal. This one is looser, relaxed and vacation-ready.

Chioma Ikokwu Just Gave Us the Ultimate Lesson in French Riviera Chic
If you have been a fan of Chioma Ikokwu on Instagram, you already know that dressing well is something she takes seriously. The Good Hair Ltd CEO and Real Housewives of Lagos star posted some photos on her Instagram from her visit to Èze, a hilltop village on the French Riviera, with the caption: “Somewhere between the sea and the sky, deep in the South, lies a little piece of magic called Èze.”

Photo: Instagram
Chioma wore a white, short-sleeved cotton shirt dress from Celine with a buttoned collar, button-down front and a crystal-encrusted monogram on the left chest pocket. The dress featured a pleated, midi-length skirt and was cinched at the waist with a thin white belt finished with a gold buckle.

Her accessories included a wide-brimmed woven straw hat with a pearl trim attached to the brim. She carried the Celine Mini Triomphe Classic Panier bag with a tan leather top handle and a leather logo patch on the front. She also carried a traditional white paper and bamboo parasol in her right hand. For jewellery, she wore gold earrings and layered metallic bracelets.
Ikokwu completed the outfit with pointed-toe white slingback kitten heels featuring a fishnet overlay across the front. Her beauty look included a smokey eye and a glossy nude-pink lip.

Frances Theodore Proves White Never Plays It Safe
Frances Theodore just gave her fans a little reminder why white is not as simple as it looks. The Nigerian content icon and model was photographed in a white high-neck cape dress on 1 June, 2026, which she captioned, “I pull up like I own the city” and her outfit backed it up completely without a doubt.
She wore a floor-length body-con white gown featuring a high, structured mock neckline, an asymmetrical design with a sleeveless left side and a floor-sweeping cape sleeve wrapped over the right shoulder and a daring, thigh-high front slit.

She accessorized her look with a mini Lady Dior bag in grey quilted Cannage leather, which had silver-toned hardware and “DIOR” letter charms. Jewellry, she wore stacked gold bracelets on her left wrist and a simple ring on her hand. Her hair was worn in hollywood-style long black waves styled with a clean side part, dropping down her shoulder. Francesca makeup by Beauty by Kayo featured defined, arched eyebrows, warm tones and a glossy nude-toned lip. She complemented her outfit with metallic silver rhinestone stiletto sandals that wrapped tightly around her ankles and lower calves.

Frances has been on a steady move this year, from running her Besties Brunch initiative to building what she calls an “influence to empire” on her own terms. The white cape dress was just another reminder that she takes both her brand and her style seriously.
This look hit differently compared to her May outing where she wore a brown pinstripe shirt and mini skirt co-ord with a matching clutch and brown heels. That look was sharp and coordinated, but this one was bolder, and more daring.
