Dede Ashiogwu recently shared new photos on her Instagram. The former Bigbrother Naija housemate was seen on a rooftop surrounded by palm trees and she captioned the post “Popped by to say hello.”

She was photographed in a cropped, white sleeveless rib-knit tank top with a scoop neckline and a hem cut short above the waist, leaving her midsection bare. She paired it with a low-rise, multicoloured crochet midi skirt featuring horizontal stripes in shades of orange, pink, yellow, red, black, and mint green, finished with a scalloped hemline and a knit drawstring at the hip.

Her hair was worn in a long, straight dark brown wig styled in a half-up, half-down look, smoothly pulled back away from the face. Her makeup was done in warm earthy tones and a glossy nude lip with dark liner. For accessories, she carried a small, structured bright pink top-handle mini bag and wore a gold chain necklace, small flower-shaped stud earrings, and a slim bracelet. For shoes, Dede chose clear wedge sandals with a transparent front strap and heel.

Her tank top stopped short enough to show off a flat, toned stomach, while the skirt sat low on her hips.

This isn’t her first time pairing a fitted top with a skirt either. Earlier this August, she wore a baby pink off-shoulder top with a matching pleated mini skirt during a workout, styled with a blonde bob wig and lace-up pink heels. While the two outfits have different silhouettes and styling, both looks show Dede wearing skirts with fitted tops.

For a friend’s military wedding that took place on August 23, 2026, in Abuja, Sharon Ooja wore a custom pale blue suit that drew attention. The wedding was for Sannia and Nonso.

Sharon wore a custom-made light blue tweed skirt suit from Sevon Dejana, styled by Dahmola. The outfit was made from textured ice-blue tweed fabric, cut into a tailored peplum blazer with high, sharp shoulders and a unique standing collar. The jacket had a deep V-neckline held together by gold-coloured statement buttons, paired with a a matching fitted skirt that fell just below the knee.

The entire suit was covered in glittering leaf-like embroidered patches, and the waist of the jacket was trimmed with fluffy feathers in soft purple and white tones. A dramatic fabric train flowed down from the back of the skirt.

Her hair was made into a smooth, vintage-inspired updo with a deep side part and her makeup, done by Glam by Uwa, was in earthy tones with a glossy, lined nude lip.

For accessories, she wore a bold, layered gold necklace with large, flat metallic discs that sat inside the open neckline of her jacket, large chunky door-knocker-style earrings, and a chain bracelet. Sharon paired her outfit with high-heeled ballet-style pumps in a soft nude tone.

Her husband wore a black casual zip-up jacket over a crisp white button-down shirt, paired with matching black trousers. Her images were taken by Kachi Photography.

The wedding marked Sharon’s first shared public appearance since welcoming her baby.

Agbada is not new to Nigerian fashion, but every so often, someone comes along and makes people look at it differently. Kola Omotoso is doing exactly that. Since leaving the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, the reality TV star has turned nearly every traditional outing into another opportunity to experiment with agbada, and Nigerians online have taken notice.

For a church outing which he captioned, “Sunday with the IGWE’S” he was in a King Kaftan piece: a black and white floral agbada with matching trousers and black loafers worn with a matching printed cap and round glasses.

For a look he captioned “One fit was required, two felt more like me,” he wore a teal agbada from Tochinima with dark embroidered patterns running down the front, a matching cap, and several strands of black beads layered at his neck, finished with a long carved wooden staff.

From bold colours to fine embroidery, Kola Omotoso’s agbada looks show just how much room there is to play with traditional Nigerian dressing.
