Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has built a reputation not just for his music but also for his personal style. In a recent interview, the Nigerian Afrobeats star shared his approach to fashion, especially his preference for black, and revealed how his mother influences the way he dresses.

Rema often starts with the basics, choosing black pieces as the foundation of his outfits. He explained that black allows him to build looks that reflect his personality without unnecessary distraction. This approach appears consistently in his streetwear, stage looks, and public appearances. He pays attention to details such as accessories and fit, combining comfort with a sense of personal expression.

Family also plays a role in his choices. Rema said his mother values him dressing in ways she considers responsible and presentable. He described this as guidance rather than limitation, a reminder of his upbringing and the values that shaped him.

In discussing style, Rema noted that clothing is a form of self-expression. He also touched on relationships, explaining that while financial stability matters, style and presentation are more important when considering a partner. This perspective mirrors his approach to fashion: thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in personal standards rather than trends or external pressures.

Rema’s comments provide insight into how he balances public image and personal values. For him, fashion is more than appearance; it is a way to express identity, stay connected to his roots, and respect the expectations of those closest to him. By prioritizing simplicity, consistency, and responsibility, he demonstrates that style can be meaningful without being showy.

Tolu Bally has a way of dressing that feels completely her own, the kind of style that reflects exactly who she is in that moment. She wore this look to the premiere of Ini Edo’s movie “A Very Dirty Christmas” and shared it on Instagram with the caption, “where peace rests, love flows, and harmony lives”, a simple line that captures the calm, confident energy of the outfit.

The focus in the images is entirely on her and the clothes. Nothing about the background competes with the look, and it feels grounded and thoughtfully put together.

She wears a two-piece in a bold floral print dominated by red, softened with touches of pink and pale blue. The cropped top has structured shoulders that give shape and presence, ending just above the waist, while the high-waisted skirt fits closely over the hips before falling straight to mid-calf, balancing the print with clean lines. Metallic strappy heels add height without stealing attention, and statement earrings provide a touch of sparkle. Her hair is sleek and close to the head, and her makeup is warm and polished, letting her features shine naturally.

What makes the outfit work is its quiet balance. The print draws the eye, but the tailored cuts keep the look grounded. The cropped top introduces a hint of boldness while the longer skirt maintains elegance. Everything feels intentional, no piece is added for effect, and no detail is out of place. It’s a look that reads as thoughtful, confident, and unmistakably Tolu Bally.
