Delonyii Steps Out in Paris for a Stylish Brunch
Delphine Onyii Okoronkwo, known online as Delonyii, took her brunch plans all the way to Paris, sharing photos from the outing with her followers. The founder of Bare To Beauty Cosmetics captioned the post: “Brunch in the city of love but keeping it fashionably cute.”
The photos were taken outside one of Paris’s grand old buildings, its honey-colored stone walls standing behind her in the late afternoon light.

She wore an oversized, bright white blazer worn over her shoulders with her arms left out of the sleeves. She paired it with a tight, black, scoop-neck cropped tank top and high-waisted black shorts with a delicate white lace trim along the bottom edge.
She accessorized with oval sunglasses in dark lenses and thin metallic frames, a small black leather bucket bag, a silver watch, and a few thin bracelets. Her hair fell in long, dark waves past her shoulders under a black pillbox hat pulled to her hairline. Her makeup was done in neutral tones with products from Baretobeautycosmetics, and she paired with black patent leather stilettos with pointed toes.

This is not the first time Delonyii has shown her fans she knows how to dress for an occasion. Back in early May, she stepped out in a long black gown with floral detailing at the shoulder for a friend’s 60th birthday celebration, in a dress by Erica Moore.

Ayra Starr Gives Knee-High Boots a Cool New York Twist
Ayra Starr turned an ordinary New York afternoon into a fashion event, and she did it before she even stepped inside her own album party.
On August 5, 2026, the Mavin Records star spent the day in Manhattan running a street photoshoot and media schedule ahead of her Starr Girl album listening party, the private event where fans and industry insiders got their first taste of her third studio album. Cameras caught her weaving through the city hours before the doors even opened, proof that the promotional run was just as much a show as the event itself.

She wore a bright magenta satin slip mini dress. The lingerie-inspired piece had a deep V-neckline, thin spaghetti straps, and a short side slit. It was intricately detailed with matching tonal floral lace embroidery along the bust line, the slit, and the scalloped hem.
Her hair was styled in long, neat, tight cornrow braids with curly extensions falling past her shoulders and her makeup was in warm tones with a glossy, lined nude-brown lip. Ayra’s accessories included a thick, multi-row rhinestone diamond choker necklace, matching crystal drop earrings, a silver chain bracelet on her right wrist, and a simple ring.

Her shoes, the highlight of her look, were a pair of vintage Christian Dior knee-high boots from John Galliano’s famous Fall/Winter 2000 Runway Collection. The black leather boots had a pointed toe, a low stiletto heel, an intricate lace-up front, and a gold-tone “CD” logo buckle strap wrapping around the top calf. Knee-high styles have trailed Ayra through nearly every chapter of her career, from her earliest music videos to stages across three continents.
The timing also lines up with a big month ahead. Starr Girl, a sixteen-track project featuring Wizkid, Rema, and Zayn Malik, drops on August 14, 2026, through Mavin Records and Republic Records. Every appearance in the lead-up, including this one, has doubled as a preview of the visual world she’s building around the album.

Nelly Mbonu Takes Sage Green Beyond the Basics
Nelly Mbonu skipped the usual bright colours and bold prints for something calmer this time. In her latest Instagram post, she went with a soft sage green two-piece, and it still managed to make it remarkable. She captioned the post, “Always in control.”
Nelly’s monochromatic look features a beautifully tailored, custom-made sage green two-piece set styled by Princenat Eero and it mixes sharp tailoring with soft pastel tones for a sophisticated, modern aesthetic.

She wore a long-sleeved cropped jacket in a soft sage green shade. The jacket had sharp shoulders, decorative faux pocket flaps on the chest, and an angular, deep V-neckline that created a bold plunging effect, with the front baring the midriff with a clean, functional metallic zipper. She paired it with matching high-waisted wide-leg high-waisted trousers.
Her accessories included drop earrings and a small, pink textured leather top-handle mini bag by Uelle. The handbag had an uncommon custom-painted black shape illustration of a woman with an Afro hairstyle on the front face, adding a playful contrasting colour to the muted green base. Her hair was styled by Royal Hairs into a smooth low ponytail, and Nelly’s makeup, created by Paul Glam, was in warm, earthy tones with an ombre glossy lip. She complemented her look with matching pink leather square-toe mule sandals that came with wide cross-straps, tying the entire outfit together from head to toe.

This isn’t the first time Nelly has chosen to go with green. Back in July, she wore a draped one-shoulder gown to Kolapo’s “thirsty thirty” birthday party, an off-the-shoulder piece with soft folds running down the length of the dress, captioning the throwback post, “Slick.”
Shot inside a dimly lit venue with rows of pink chairs in the background, she was in a floor-length dress with the same kind of balance she brought to this latest shoot, proof that she can carry a single colour through different settings and still make it count.
