She’s an embodiment of grace and a true fashionista. Here is to celebrating more years in glamour and good health. Thank you for always being there for me. Making me the Queen of the Calabar Carnival at such an early age was definitely a boost for my personality. I love you today and always Mummy. Happiest 80th birthday to MAMA BAkassi”.

Her hair was styled in a long, boho braids with tight curls cascading down her back.

This isn’t Ini Edo’s first major look this year. She did something similar at the Miss Nigeria and Beauty Fashion Fare. But this birthday outing had a warmth to it that made it different.

Akin Faminu’s Funky Colour Combination Is Hard to Ignore
Akin Faminu knows exactly who he is when it comes to style, and that clarity shows in everything he wears. His latest shoot, captioned “Matcha” and photographed by Kimilokan, is proof of that.
He wore an oversized, single-breasted blazer from Cruxin a bright chartreuse with a distinct, heavy textured weave, structured shoulders and wide lapels. He paired it with oversized, wide-leg trousers in an olive-to-forest green gradient. The pants featured ripped detailing near the thighs and a contrasting pattern around the hem.

His accessories included a leather duffle bag in glossy, bright Kelly green featuring dual handles and front utility pockets, also from Crux.xyz. A metallic gold brooch shaped like a hand was pinned to the right lapel of the blazer. He added round dark-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame, a thin choker-style necklace, and multiple rings. He completed the look with rounded-toe platform shoes that mirror the bright lime yellow of the blazer, peeking out from beneath the wide trouser hems.

It has been a busy year for Faminu personally too. He married Kiky Festus in April this year. He was also at Ojude Oba 2026 last week, wearing a layered Aso-Oke look in rich wine, gold and blue tones that many people could not stop sharing. A full year by any measure, and his style has kept up with every moment of it
His tailored shoot for Deji and Kola shows the other side of his personal style entirely. Burgundy and navy blazer, cream trousers, dark loafers from Adamskahz, and a tan leather briefcase from Deji and Kola. Quiet, sharp, and just as considered.

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.

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.”

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.

She carried the Celine Mini Triomphe Classic Panier bag with a tan leather top handle and a leather logo patch on the front.
