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.

Why Nengi Hampson’s Mixed-Monochrome Look Is Our New Style Obsession
Nengi Hampson stepped out for an outing on May 7, 2026, and gave us a quick reminder why she stays on our radar. The reality star and CEO of Shoesbyflora posted a series of photos on Instagram with the caption, “May this month be kind to us,” and while we are absolutely wishing the same, we could not stop staring at what she had on.

She wore a black, sheer long-sleeve bodysuit with a turtleneck and textured wavy line patterns. She paired it with a high-waisted, pleated flared mini skirt in a monochrome black-and-white houndstooth pattern.
Her accessories included a high-end metallic silver quilted mini top-handle bag from Dior and stud earrings. Nengi’s hair was worn in a chic, slicked-back wet-look with a side part tucked neatly behind her ears.

Her full-glam look featured sharply defined brows, smoky eye shadow with winged eyeliner, and a perfectly lined ombre lip paired with a high-shine nude lip gloss.
Her shoes were black strappy high-heel sandals with an toe and a distinct ankle strap adorned with shimmering rhinestones.

If you scroll back to her March 19 post where she captioned it “90s fine,” Nengi was in a floor-length bronze satin halter dress with a thigh-high split, all smooth fabric and low-key luxury. That look did its work through a long hem and shiny fabric. This one pulls in the opposite direction, trading the floor-grazing hem for a full, structured pleated mini and swapping liquid fabric for graphic tweed texture.

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.

Dabota Lawson’s Italian Getaway Is a Vintage Fashion Dream Come to Life
Dabota Lawson celebrated her birthday on June 2nd in Positano, Italy, with a series of birthday photographs which she captioned “Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. I wish you all of God’s choicest blessings. Cheers to an iconic year.”
Positano is one of the most photographed places in the world, with its pastel buildings climbing up the cliffs and the Mediterranean stretching out below.

Lawson was photographed wearing a pristine white bodycon dress with a ruched torso, soft hip folds and an asymmetric draped off-the-shoulder neckline.
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. She carried an elongated leather clutch in a vibrant pastel yellow. For jewellery, she wore a silver bracelet and a wristwatch on her right wrist.

Photo: Instagram
Her makeup consisted of defined brows, warm earthy tones and a nude lip. Lawson wrapped up her look with silver open-toe stiletto heeled sandals with a criss-cross strap design.

Back in May, Dabota was seen in a white blazer suit with crystal detailing on the shoulders and cuffs for the launch of her Dabota Cosmetics store. That look was tailored and formal. This one is looser, relaxed and vacation-ready.
