Cultural Futurism Steals the Show at The Serpent’s Gift Premiere with Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, Beverley Osu & More

Published

If there’s anything Nollywood stars are good at, it is making sure they show up elegantly while representing our culture.

At the premiere of “The Serpent Gift,” the cast turned the red carpet into their own runway for cultural futurism.

There were bold headpieces, prints inspired by ancestral heritage, and sculptural tailoring.

Each of them showed that our tradition is here to stay and remains a defining force in contemporary style.

Linda Ejiofor-Sulieman

The lead actress, Linda Ejiofor-Suleiman, wore a shiny gold and purple traditional outfit. She paired it with a feathered fan, a gold purse, pearl bracelets, and a striking pearl-embellished headpiece.

Beverly Osu

Beverley Osu followed in a pristine white wrapper and blouse, styled with bold coral beads and a regal headpiece that completed her cultural look.

Kayode Kasum

The men also embraced cultural futurism. Director Kayode Kasum stepped out in a deep red velvet jacket with fine gold detailing, paired with crisp white trousers and brown leather shoes.

Ibrahim Sulieman

Ibrahim Sulieman graced the event in a vibrant traditional outfit with vertical stripes in purple, gold, black, and pink. He also wore a black hat that added a touch of gold. Each appearance reflected careful attention to cultural detail.

The film itself made a powerful impression. Set in Eastern Nigeria, it tells the story of Ijeoma, a widow whose husband dies unexpectedly.

She’s caught in a battle over his inheritance and must fight to protect what’s hers. The movie is filled with betrayal, tradition, and justice through the lens of Igbo culture.

Directed by Kayode Kasum and produced by Winifred Nkiry Mena Ajakpyi, it highlights the strength of women in the face of adversity. Other cast members include Stan Nze, Tina Mba, Ric Hassani.

At the premiere, Kayode Kasum explained that the film is for anyone you loves drama, culture, and cinema that resonates emotionally, then this is for you.

In the end, the premiere mixed traditional Igbo designs with modern fashion. This matched the movie’s message about balancing old traditions with new ways of life. The cast’s outfits didn’t just look good—they helped tell the story of culture, identity, and heritage.

Rema Seen at the Franca Fund Gala Wearing a White Tailored Suit

Published

Rema attended the Franca Fund Gala in Doha wearing a white tailored suit, highlighting his appearance.

The gala was hosted at the Museum of Islamic Art, and led by Anna Wintour and Francesco Carozzini, with several figures from fashion, art, and entertainment industry as they honoured the legacy of Franca Sozanni.

For an evening that’s set against a mix of personal interpretations of eveningwear, Rema showed up in a tailored all white suit that doesn’t require any embellishments. The white scarf he tucked into his jacket stood out without added detailing.

His sunglasses added a soft finishing touch, while there was a small silver brooch on his lapel. It introduced a modern edge without tipping into excess extravagance. Instead of settling for monochrome with white shoes, Rema chose reddish-brown dress shoes.

The contrast provided the right balance. The warm leather tones against the white created a rich and grounded effect that softened the starkness of the white. His locs, well styled, framed his face naturally, and he had a drink in hand looking comfortable at ease.

Rema’s low-key good style stood out amid the evening’s over-the-top looks, with deliberate details that made his outfit register naturally.

Nancy Isime Steps Forward in a Runway-Fresh Lanre DaSilva Ajayi Creation

Published

on

Nancy Isime brings a seasoned ease to this Lanre DaSilva Ajayi gown, worn during the designer’s 20th anniversary celebration. Her caption “Once a Model, Forever a Model” sets the tone for the moment as a natural return to a space she’s always been comfortable in.

Shot by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, she leans into a dress that does the work on its own. The gown comes in a full, structured form covered in oversized appliqué florals cut in velvet and set over a dotted sheer layer that gives the fabric depth without reducing its force. The saturated mix of red, yellow, and green aligns with LDA’s trademark approach to bold design and intricate handwork.

Her styling remains intentional. The gold drop earrings offer a counterpoint without pulling focus away from the dress, and the straight, neat hair keeps the attention on the dress. It shows the kind of clean beauty direction often used in Vogue’s eveningwear stories where the garment leads.

Nancy tags Dabota Lawson, Beauty Tukura, and Idia Aisien because they also walked the runway at the anniversary event, creating a shared moment among women with long-term ties to the fashion scene. The caption reads more like a nod to familiar ground than a staged setup.

The final impression is clear and controlled: a unique piece, a capable team, and someone who knows exactly how to wear a dress built for presence.

From her Instagram post, she wore a floor-length, one-shoulder gown with a short sleeve on the right hand and a draped cinched detail across the bodice and waist. The fabric gathered at the left side and flowed down into a slightly asymmetrical hemline. She opted for single accessory on her wrist.

Her clothing choices are clearly intentional. They reflect her persona. Her personality is defined by her endurance, persistence, and ambition in challenging the odds and remaining resilient. The colour works well because it highlights her dark skin tone, building a contrast that is warm and vibrant. It’s also a colour that draws focus. She seeks to be seen and her colour choices ensure that.
