Held at the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel, the gala brings together artists, leaders and humanitarians under the Global Gift Foundation, an organisation dedicated to supporting women, children and underserved communities worldwide.

At this year’s London edition, the foundation established by Maria Bravo continued its commitment to programmes that uplift communities, partnering over the years with initiatives such as the Eva Longoria Foundation and other humanitarian projects. The gala’s mix of cultural presence and philanthropic purpose has made it an anticipated meeting point for personalities who go with its mission.

For the evening, Cuppy chose a gown by Hertunba, the Nigerian label founded by Florentina Agu, whose work is recognised for its strong lines and unique fabrics. The brand often draws on materials like aso-oke and akwete, merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary structure.

Her gown showed the brand’s signature direction: a carefully shaped fitted top with inner form, a textured surface that revealed its woven layers. The creamy tone of the fabric offered a clean, modern finish while allowing the craft to remain the main point. With minimal accessories, the dress carried it’s own beauty without extra details.

Cuppy’s decision to wear Hertunba showed a wider statement one that acknowledges heritage, conscious design and the designers redefining African fashion through innovation and craft. On a night dedicated to giving, her choice aligned beautifully with the values of purpose and community that the gala represents. It also carefully showed the continued rise of Nigerian brands on global cultural stages, an evolution driven by labels that centre artistry, storytelling and responsible production.
