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.

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.

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.

Published

on

Roseline Afije, better known as Liquorose, recently showcased two distinct suit styles that are rewriting how we see tailored outfits. No gimmicks, just sharp styling with real-life wearability. She has shared how to wear a suit for both the streets and indoor settings, and it’s a game-changer for your wardrobe.

First, she stunned in an off-white pinstripe set that hugged her frame perfectly. The double-breasted jacket, worn open over a crisp white shirt, kept things bold yet polished, while the trousers skimmed the ankles for a modern twist. Gold heels and chunky hoops sealed the look. It was ideal for anyone aiming to stand out at a city event.

Next came a contrast: a chocolate-brown suit with padded shoulders and wide-leg trousers, styled in a pared-down setting. The open blazer revealed a lace camisole, softening the structure. Burnt orange nails and red open-toe pumps added colour, turning it into the kind of outfit that moves easily from boardroom talks to a casual evening hangout.

What truly sets her looks apart is the harmony between structure and ease. The white pinstripes bring authority for days when you need to impress, while the brown oversized set delivers comfort with attitude. Add your own twist, such as lace, bold nails, or colourful shoes, and suddenly the suit is no longer gathering dust in your wardrobe.
