The Nollywood icon didn’t just turn a year older; she stepped into her new chapter like royalty, leaving everyone in awe of her poise and presence. 

The Look: A Midnight Dream in Velvet & Roses 

Ini owned the spotlight in a breathtaking black velvet gown by Zeeyatelier, looking every bit the queen she is. The dress was a masterpiece, sleek, sculpted, and utterly unforgettable. The fitted bodice hugged her curves flawlessly, while the skirt exploded into a cascade of oversized rosettes, trailing behind her like a regal train.  

With a daring thigh-high slit and an asymmetrical hemline, the gown struck the perfect balance between elegance and edge. Every step she took was a moment, every pose a statement. And that staircase shot? Pure artistry.

Glam That Stole the Show

Her makeup was a lesson in radiant sophistication, flawless skin, softly sculpted cheekbones, and a golden glow that made her look lit from within. Smoky eyes added just the right amount of drama, while nude lips kept the focus on her natural beauty.  

But the real showstopper? Her hair. Woven into stunning waves, and adorned with delicate beads, it was a tribute to African elegance, regal, timeless, and utterly mesmerizing.

“Without You, I am nothing,” she wrote, her words echoing with humility and grace. She celebrated her loved ones as “vessels of God’s love” and gave a sweet nod to her fellow April babies: *“We are special, and we are loved.”
