Omowunmi Dada’s Powder Blue Bag Is the Real Star of Her Monochrome Look
In Omowunmi Dada’s latest pictures, her dusty-blue bag is the first thing you notice. The Nollywood actress stepped out in a full white outfit, and while the look itself was clean and put-together, it was her bag that made everything click. She showed us that nailing a monochrome look isn’t just about sticking to the rules, it’s about knowing how to add your own twist to it.

She wore a sleeveless white vest with wide structured lapels, a deep V-neckline, and a flap detail at the hem and a tailored silhouette that gave it a clean, modern aesthetic. Paired with matching high-waisted, wide-leg white trousers that dropped smoothly down to the floor, partially covering her shoes.
Her hair was worn in a long, black wig, parted neatly in the middle. Her makeup was kept warm, with a smoky eye and a glossy nude lip.

Her accessories are where it gets interesting, with her bag being the main highlight. Against the all-white outfit, she carried a square top-handle dusty-blue leather bag featuring distinct horizontal paneled flaps and a minimalist design, creating a contrast. For jewellery, she went with gold accents, including small chunky hoop earrings, a thin necklace, and a slim bracelet. Dada paired the outfit with the same shade of pointed-toe heeled pumps that peeked out from beneath the wide-leg trousers. Images by Tolu Law.

This is a different side of Omowunmi Dada from the printed halter-neck maxi dress and bright yellow bag she wore on June 8. That look was colourful. This one keeps the focus on structure, with the bag carrying the colour story.

Ankara Is Anything But Boring — And Mercy Eke Has The Receipts
For many, ankara has long been associated with Sunday wear or formal ceremonies, but Mercy Eke is changing that narrative. The well-known reality TV personality and style influencer recently attended her friend Nelly Mbonu store opening and made it a high-fashion affair. Her appearance showed the versatility of African print. She posted the photos on Instagram with the caption, “It’s giving Ada Imo.”

The BBNaija Season 4 winner arrived in a two-piece matching set from Designs by Lezie featuring a sleeveless halter-neck top with a sharp collar and small keyhole cutouts down the center of the chest and an exposed midriff. She paired it with a high-waisted flared skirt with its hemline adorned with dangling white cowrie shells. Her outfit was in red African wax print fabric decorated with navy blue grid lines and a scattering of yellow, white, and black stars.

Mercy’s accessories were minimal and included a Dior top-handle bag in an emerald green colour, a thin gold chain necklace and bracelet. Her hair was styled in long deep waves in a honey-brown shade with a middle part. Her makeup consisted of warm tones and a glossy nude lip. For shoes, she wore crisp white pointed-toe heeled pumps, providing a clean contrast to the colourful outfit. Photography was by Kosi Lifestyle.
