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.

This outing comes weeks after Mercy wore a completely different style in late May, captioning her photos “Living life in colours.” That time, she went with a green tank top, bold orange and dark green striped wide-leg trousers, a mini orange Kelly bag, and white heels. That look leaned into casual maximalism, while this one feels more occasion-ready.

How to Wear Pinstripes the Diiadem Way This New Week
Forget the boring Monday fit. Diiadem just stepped out in a black pinstripe suit that looked far removed from traditional office wear, especially for anyone still reaching for jeans and a top.
Diiadem wore a double-breasted black pinstripe pantsuit. The blazer featured padded, defined shoulders, crisp peak lapels and a low-cut V-neckline, contouring into a sharply fitted waist before flaring softly over the hips. She paired it with matching high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that flowed into a relaxed, floor-skimming shape. Glossy black pointed-toe stilettos peeked out beneath the trouser hems, tying the monochrome look together.

She completed the look with round crystal earrings and a minimalist initial pendant necklace in silver tones. Her hair was pulled back into a sleek, high-shine ponytail with a wrapped base concealing the hair tie, while her makeup stayed in soft nude shades. The styling remained understated, allowing the pinstripe suit to take centre stage.

There’s more going on for Diiadem than fashion right now. She’s currently up for Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2026 MOI Awards for the beauty brand she has built as CEO of Beauty by AD. The nomination comes as she continues to lead the brand while making public appearances that reflect her polished personal style.
This isn’t the first time Diiadem has switched things up either. A few days earlier, she wore a green-and-white striped corset dress from Kaykay Brand featuring a fitted bodice and dramatic full skirt. She paired it with green pointed heels and box braids secured with a small bow clip, captioning the post, “Happiness looks good on me.” Set against a pastel backdrop, the bold stripes and structured silhouette remained the focus.
From playful dresses to sharply tailored pieces like this pinstripe suit, Diiadem continues to show the range in her personal style.

Yvonne Godswill Proved That Fringe and Power Suits Are the Ultimate Duo
Yvonne Godswill posted a series of photos on Instagram in a blazer and a fringe skirt, showing how the two pieces work together instead of clashing. The content creator wore a stylish taupe blazer and skirt set from Her Luxury, with styling by Omoye The Creator. The structured top half and the loose, swinging fringe below gave the outfit two different moods. Her caption, “Allergic to not getting what I want,” fitted the shoot’s energy, confident, cool, and unbothered.

The blazer featured an exaggerated, sharp pointed collar, long form-fitting sleeves, and a deep plunging neckline. The waistband was tightly fitted by a distinctive metallic gold clasp, framing the silhouette before extending into thick, tubular fabric strands. These matching taupe strands fell from the blazer’s hem and her underlying mini-skirt all the way to the floor, spreading out wide at her feet.

Her hair was styled into a flawless, high-shine low ponytail with carefully laid, swooping baby hairs decorating her hairline. Her makeup was done in warm tones with a glossy, lined neutral lip, and she accessorized with minimalist chunky gold hoop earrings. Yvonne completed her look with pointed-toe nude stiletto pumps that blended with her skin tone, the fringe brushing past them with every shift in her pose. The shoot was captured by photographer Peter Stonee.

Yvonne has described her style as minimalist and comfortable, with clean lines and neutral colours she can wear in different ways. Days earlier, she wore a zip-up crop top and flared trousers set from Ya Li Wrld, captioning the post, “A big fan of whoever I AM.” While the outfits were different, both featured matching sets and tailored pieces.

Diiadem Gives Ruffles a Bold New Identity in MSO Lagos.
Business entrepreneur, lifestyle influencer and The Real Housewives of Lagos star Adeola Adeyemi, popularly known as Diiadem, shared images on her Instagram page on July 5, 2026, where she stepped out in an ivory midi gown by MSO Lagos. The look centred on dramatic ruffle detailing.
The ivory midi gown featured oversized layered ruffles that covered the entire dress from the high neckline to the hem. Instead of using sequins, embroidery or prints, the beauty of the dress came from its layered design. The ruffles varied in size and direction, creating depth throughout the dress.

The high neckline flowed into full ruffled sleeves, while the uneven hem revealed part of her legs, balancing the volume of the upper half with a lighter finish below.
She paired the outfit with gold strappy heeled sandals that added a metallic touch, complementing the dress. She also wore bold gold drop earrings while keeping the rest of her accessories minimal. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail that framed her face neatly. Her makeup was done by Glam and Glow Makeup artistry, featuring lightly contoured cheeks and a glossy nude lip.

MSO Lagos used the Ivory Meadow design to explore texture through carefully layered ruffles that created shape and movement. In its caption, the brand described Diiadem as “strong as a flame, delicate as a flower,” presenting the look as a balance of strength and softness.
In her last outing in June she stepped out in a flowing white gown with a long train, a cream turban and a silver purse. That appearance leaned into soft glamour, while the Ivory Meadow design shifts the focus to sculptural ruffles and texture.
