A Closer Look at Nancy Isime’s Custom LDA Gown
Nancy Isime attended the Uyo Fashion Week Season 5 on May 17, 2026, at the Glass House, Tropicana Event Centre where she also served as the host for the event. Her appearance in a custom design by Lanre Da Silva Ajayi was a standout moment at the event, later shared on Instagram with the caption: “Host with the most.”

She wore a floor-length, halter neck gown with a mermaid cut. The bodice featured a structured, strapless sweetheart corset, divided into two rich textures: the upper section in metallic gold and the lower in copper-pink with an ornate rose pattern.
The design transitioned into a black velvet fabric that hugged her curves before flaring out slightly at the hem. The highlight of her outfit was the big oversized black taffeta attached at the back that gathered into a structured ruffle behind her shoulders and extended into a massive flowing train.

Her hair was styled by The Private Salon, Lagos, in thin African braids drawn upward into a tightly coiled high top knot. Her makeup was handled by Cherries, featuring smoky eyeshadow and a glossy red lip. Gold accessories, layered dangling earrings and a wide cuff bracelet, completed the look.
Isime’s relationship with the designer is well established. She previously walked for Lanre Da Silva Ajayi during the SS26 Anniversary Collection show in Lagos, making the custom commission a natural continuation of their collaboration

Compared to her recent appearance in a pink Isale Eko From Derin mini dress and floral fascinator at High Tea With BNS, that look was lighter in styling, while the LDA gown was more formal and structured for the event.

Adeola Adeyemi’s Colour Block Suit Is Monday Style Inspiration
If you needed a sign to start your week with intention, Diiadem delivered it.
Beauty entrepreneur, lifestyle influencer, RHOLagos star Adeola Adeyemi, popularly known as Diiadem, and Lagos-based CEO shared images on her Instagram on May 15, 2026, with the caption “A walking trophy”. She stepped out in a bold colour block suit by Nigerian designer 29 By Adele.

She wore a structured, colour-blocked blazer featuring a sharp asymmetrical hemline and panels in burgundy, light pink, navy blue, and brown. For bottoms, she paired the suit with high-waisted, wide-leg navy trousers that fell to the floor.
She wore silver drop earrings and a thin chain. Her makeup featured brown smoky eye and a glossy, lined nude lip. She had her hair in a bone-straight black wig parted in the middle, tucked neatly behind her ears, and falling past her shoulders. For shoes, she chose classic black pointed-toe stiletto pumps which peeked out from underneath the trousers.

29 By Adele clearly knows what she is doing, and this colour block design is clear proof. The cut is sharp, the colours are deliberate, and Diiadem wore it as though it was made for her.
This outfit is completely different from a dress she wore last April , where she appeared in a teal metallic pleated gown with cape sleeves, a cutout waist rising to a front slit paired with gold heels, same colour cuff, pearl earrings, and a quilted blush bag from Themys Brand. That one was more chic and shimmery. This one is clean and structured.

Tiwa Savage Is a Fiery Vision in Orange at Oxford
In a recent post, Tiwa Savage just proved that when you have something important to say, you might as well look the part while saying it. The Afrobeats queen attended the Oxford Africa Conference as a keynote speaker, with a look that matched the weight of her messages.

At the event, she wore a bright orange, structured coordinated two-piece by Petite Porche. The top featured an oversized, sculptural cowl neckline and an asymmetric draped sleeve. She paired it with a matching midi-length skirt that had a flared, uneven handkerchief hemline.
Tiwa styled her outfit with a white structured handbag paired chunky white resin drop earrings, silver bracelet and multiple rings. Her hair was styled in pixie cut with soft, tousled waves framing her face. Her makeup featured neatly shape brows, warm tones and a nude glossy lip. For shoes, she wore white pointed-toe heels. The bag and shoes added a clean tonal to her whole outfit.

On her Instagram caption, Tiwa said she was a keynote speaker at the conference, and used the opportunity to speak on the state of African music. She noted that while some believe the industry is in decline, it is actually going through a healthy cycle, now that the rapid growth has settled, the focus should shift to building the infrastructure needed to sustain the industry long term. She drew parallels with other genres like Hip Hop, RnB, and Pop, saying the African music industry is no different, and urged people not to confuse correction with collapse.

This Oxford appearance comes just weeks after she took a different direction in a strapless black gown styled by Mugomugoofficial, a darker, more dramatic turn in styling. Two looks, two completely different moods, but the same woman in full control of her image every single time.
