Mimi Yina was seen recently in a dress by Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, and it was unique one. The hot pink colour was the highlight of the gown, but the details of the outfit are what makes the dress noticeable.

The dress has a dramatic high-low silhouette, with a short, fitted sequined skirt visible at the front and a long flowing train that falls to the floor. The gown appears to be made from a pleated fabric, giving it a voluminous texture. It has a halter-neckline and is designed with large flora-shaped bows, one at the waist and the other one near the knee.

She paired the outfit with simple silver strappy heels and minimal jewelry. Everything worked well with the strong outfit. Her hair and makeup were kept neat and natural.

The outfit design is distinctive. Weiz Dhurm Franklyn took a different approach with this piece, especially in how the details of the dress were handled. On mimi the dress suited her, like it was meant solely for her. With the bright colour adding more character to the overall look.

With bold colours and heavy details becoming more common, this dress still stands out because of how well it was put together. Nothing feels random, from the pleats to the bow placement.

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 – Instagram

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.
