How Bemi Orojuogun Caught the World’s Attention

Published

on

In the busy streets of London, one woman quietly stands out. At a bus stop, she smiles warmly as the city moves around her. This is Bemi Justina Orojuogun, better known as the “London Bus Auntie.” What started as a simple daily routine has grown into a social media sensation and led to opportunities with well-known fashion brands.

Bemi’s story began far from the streets of London. She was born in Ilaje, Ondo State, Nigeria, and moved to the UK more than 33 years ago. Life in London was steady but private until a personal loss changed her perspective. After her husband passed away, she promised herself she would keep finding joy in life. That promise gave her the idea to record short videos of herself at bus stops, moments of simple happiness she wanted to share with others.

The idea was simple. She stood in her everyday clothes, sometimes adjusting her headscarf or coat, smiling as the buses passed. Her videos quickly drew attention. One clip alone got over 40 million views, and Bemi had built a small community of people checking in just to see if she’d “catch the bus” that day.

Her growth didn’t happen overnight. She posted day after day, rain or shine. People started sharing her videos, making their own versions, and even timing the buses to match her clips. What began as a quiet personal habit became something others wanted to be part of.

Brands soon noticed her appeal. In late 2024, French fashion label Jacquemus reached out. Their campaign fit naturally with her style: no scripts, no fancy outfits, just her, the bus, and a simple sense of style. The campaign drew attention and helped her grow even more online.

Earlier this year, British fashion house Burberry featured her in their “Back to the City” campaign. Bemi appeared alongside other rising models in iconic London spots with double-decker buses in the background. The collaboration showed that she could work with major brands while staying true to herself.

Today, Bemi is still just who she’s always been. While most online buzzes fade quickly, Bemi has built her success by showing up consistently, keeping things simple, and turning ordinary moments into something memorable. And it all started with one woman, a smile and determination

Lori Harvey stepped out for the Chanel Fall/Winter 2026 Womenswear Show in Paris, wearing a look that paired a cropped tweed jacket with a vivid red blouse and a beige Chanel skirt cut with a striking high slit.

The look consists of a bright red blouse worn beneath a cropped brown and cream tweed jacket. The blouse was slightly open at the collar, creating a V-shaped neckline. The jacket featured tweed fabric and metallic buttons along the front.

Harvey wore a beige Chanel midi skirt that was fastened in front with three rows of large buttons. The cut opened high along the right side, forming a high slit revealing her leg. A slim burgundy belt sat at the waist, repeating the colour of the blouse.

She completed her look with a small black quilted Chanel clutch, narrow-tinted sunglasses, and pointed nude heels.
Harvey kept her hair pulled back into a firm ponytail. Her makeup featured warm tones, with softly shaped brows, light eye definition and glossy nude lips. Harvey’s styling and choice of accessories helped her stand out among the guests at the Paris show.

Published

When it comes to birthday photoshoots, most celebrities play it safe. A glamorous dress, soft lighting, a cake prop and a few smiles for the camera. But Jadrolita chose a completely different direction for her latest birthday shoot. She stepped into a futuristic world, dressed head to toe in pink, poses as a character pulled straight from a sci-fi film rather than a traditional celebrant.

The concept leaned heavily into technology, identity, and digital culture, themes that already sit at the center of Jadrolita’s public persona. Known for blending artificial intelligence storytelling with lifestyle content, her birthday shoot felt personal and carefully planned rather than experimental.

The first thing that stands out is the colour choice. Every part of the look revolves around pink. It gave the impression of someone existing in a digital universe where colour replaces emotion and storytelling happens visually before words are spoken.

Her outfit consists of a fitted bodysuit crafted from a glossy material. The structure hugged her silhouette closely, creating a clean outline from shoulder to ankle.

Layered over the bodysuit was a sculpted jacket designed with exaggerated shoulders and defined edges. The tailoring introduced structure without making the outfit look heavy. Instead, it reinforced the futuristic theme, resembling protective gear worn by a character built for a digital era. Not forgetting her glasses which completed the futuristic look.

Hair and makeup followed the same direction. Her hair was styled in a short pixie cut with clean edges. Her makeup was kept nude.

What makes this birthday shoot notable is how clearly it reflects Jadrolita’s brand. She has built an online identity around digital intelligence, virtual interaction, and futuristic storytelling. Instead of separating her birthday celebration from that identity, she leaned fully into it.

Are We Finally Getting the R9 Album? Fans Read the Signs Around Rihanna

It’s been ten years since “Anti” came out in January 2016. It spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. Ten years later, her fans are still waiting for R9. But this week, she gave them the clearest sign yet.

On February 26, 2026, Rihanna took to her Instagram and posted a day-in-the-life video. It started at 9 PM with a Savage X Fenty design meeting that stretched towards 2 AM. Before leaving, she turned to her team and said: “I still have to go to the studio after this. And I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio. Longest day ever.”

She followed through. By 2:30 AM she was inside the studio seen working at the mixing board, writing in a notebook, and chatting with her team. The session ran past 5 AM. At one point, someone in the room said “We in business, Kuk,” and Rihanna replied “Yes, let’s go.” Kuk is widely believed to refer to Kuk Harrell, the vocal producer behind her hits “Umbrella” and “Only Girl in the World”.

No music was heard in the clip. No release date was announced. But the video alone was enough to send the Navy into an overdrive.

This is not the first time she has hinted about her album. In December 2019, she posted an Instagram video of a dog dancing, captioned: “Update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it.” Then in May 2020, she told British Vogue she was “very aggressively working on music.”

But her most detailed update came in February 2025, in a cover story for Harper’s Bazaar. She addressed the long delay directly:

“Way off! There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, ‘No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour.’ “I’ve been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn’t hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!”

She also said: “I think music is my freedom. I just came to that realization. I just cracked the code on what I really want to do for my next body of work”.

No release date. No tracklist. No official announcement. But Rihanna is in the studio, and this time the whole world will be watching.
