Published

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.

Sharon Ooja was at TVC Communications to talk about “Ordinary People”, the new Netflix series that premiered on September 4. For the visit, she wore a short red dress with velvet patches.

The dress was from loveladybiba. It came with a zip-down at the front, a fitted waist and a flared shape over the hips, the dress stopped above her knees. Dark red velvet patches covered the shoulders and the hem, while the rest of the dress remained plain red.

She accessorized with a small red quilted handbag with gold hardware and wore glossy red peep-toe heels. Her jewellery was simple, just gold earrings and a few rings.

Her hair was done by Solange Hair Stores in loose waves that fell past her shoulders. Her makeup, by annabelsglam, had warm tones on the eyes and a soft lip colour.

“Ordinary People” is an eight-episode series directed by Moses Inwang. It follows a criminal on the run and his wife, who pose as bakers in Mirage Estate, a gated community where their neighbours are undercover agents. Sharon stars alongside Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, Adunni Ade, Uche Montana and Jackie Appiah. On Instagram, she said the cast enjoyed a warm welcome, interviews and radio sessions at TVC, and she thanked fans for the love so far. The series is still showing on Netflix and Nollyflix.

A few days ago, she arrived at Channels TV in a khaki crop suit by Bfyne. The blazer had fringe on one shoulder, and the high-waisted wide-leg trousers matched it. She wore black pointed heels, carried a black quilted handbag and added large gold earrings, with her hair in loose crimped waves. The suit was a calmer colour than the red she wore to TVC.

Tems and Kim Kardashian posed together at the celebration for SKIMS‘ new flagship store on Regent Street in London on September 18, 2026.

Tems wore a black strapless dress with a thin beaded trim across the top and a skirt that fell straight down to her ankles. She wore her hair in a half-up curly style, added drop earrings and a bracelet, and wore a dark plum lip colour.

While on the other hand, Kim wore a chocolate brown leather dress with a corset-style top and lace-up detail running down one side of the skirt. Grommets lined the opening diagonally, and the dress was fitted at the waist. Tems’ dress stayed flat through the fabric, while Kim’s had more structure built into the top half, with the leather giving it a harder texture than the soft material Tems wore.

Here, the two dresses appeared together without clashing. Both women kept their outfits dark and fitted, with no bright colour or print in either look.

The photos were taken at the opening of SKIMS’ first flagship store outside the United States, a two-floor space designed by Rafael de Cárdenas that included a large sculpture by artist Vanessa Beecroft near the entrance. Kim co-founded SKIMS with Jens Grede in 2019, and the London store opened during London Fashion Week on a ten-year lease with the Crown Estate. Guests were served cocktails and food, with a DJ set from model Kim Turnbull before a private dinner later in the night.

Tems was among the guests at the event, along with other names from music and fashion, including Central Cee, Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Ellie Bamber, and designer Kim Jones. SKIMS has said it plans to open more than 100 stores worldwide by 2027.

Ini Edo traveled to Abuja to celebrate her big brother Captain Ekong’s 60th birthday, and she showed up dressed for the occasion. She captioned the post “Captain Ekong @60,” adding that since she was celebrating a fashionista, she “had to bring a little extra spice.”

Her dress, designed by Becca Needles N Stitches and styled by Henry Sklue, was made from deep red fabric covered from top to bottom in a diamond-patterned crystal lattice. It featured a floor-length mermaid cut, fitted through the body with an asymmetric one-shoulder tie, then flared into a long train that pooled at her feet.

Her hair was styled in a smooth, bone-straight, middle-parted look keeping the focus on her face and the neckline of the dress. For Jewellry, she went with rings and a bracelet, with a matching Lujah purse rounding off the outfit. Photography was by Benny Shot It.

Some time back, for a shoot promoting her film, she wore a black high-slit dress with curly hair and sunglasses beside a vintage blue Camaro, captioned “Something to watch this weekend.”
