Veekee chose a stark white, double-breasted jacket with a high mock-neck collar, strong shoulders, and a sharply fitted waist. She paired it with matching crisp white, straight-leg tailored pants that fell neatly to just above the ankle. She chose a quilted, deep burgundy top-handle bag adding contrast, and completed with pointed-toe patent leather pumps in a matching burgundy shade.

From bold prints to sharp tailoring, these looks shows that great workwear does not have to be boring.

In a recent Instagram post shared on Saturday, June 20, 2026, Nigerian model and influencer Diana Eneje showed that a casual look can still have main character energy. During a visit to Blank Space she took a simple bodysuit and paired it with a bubble skirt that came with a tie.

She wore a pink long sleeve bodysuit with a casual checker bubble skirt with a pink tie detail that added structure to the outfit. She complemented the look with silver Adidas Samba OG sneakers paired with white ankle socks.

For accessories, she carried a Louis Vuitton Nano Alma monogram bag which featured a printed LV scarf at the handle. She completed the look with a Messika Move 18-karat white gold diamond necklace, gold bracelets and a gold chain layered on her outfit.

Her hair was styled half up hairstyle with a center part. Her makeup was neutral with a glossy lip finish.

The bodysuit worked balanced the volume of the bubble skirt, giving the outfit a clear contrast in shape. Keeping the footwear casual with Adidas Samba OG sneakers and white ankle socks also made the look feel suited for a daytime outing rather than a dressier occasion

This look is different from the strapless gold and black bubble dress with a metallic gold bow drape she wore in May.

Chioma Ikokwu, entrepreneur, lawyer, and Real Housewives of Lagos star, attended the opening of Africa Now at Galeries Lafayette in Paris on June 19, 2026. The event celebrated African designers on an international stage, spotlighting names like Adama Paris, Sisters of Africa, Christy Brown, and Ibrahim Fernandez. Hosted at one of Europe’s most renowned luxury department stores, the gathering provided African designers with an opportunity to present their work to an international audience.

For the occasion, Chioma wore Hertunba, a Nigerian fashion brand, in their Mowa corset top paired with the Ure skirt. Both pieces came in the same vertical-striped fabric. The skirt added another layer with its asymmetric hem and a waist detail, the stripes breaking and restarting at odd points instead of running in one continuous line.

For accessories, she opted for gold bangles, gold drop earrings, and a gold necklace with a diamond pendant. She matched her outfit with a Chanel metallic gold Kelly shopper bag while gold strappy heels complemented the look. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail with a curled front piece swept to the side, and her makeup featured natural tones, pink blush, and glossy nude lips.

Chioma never misses an opportunity to champion Africa designers on the international stage. While in London for a wedding, she wore a custom black velvet gown by Nigerian designer Amy Aghomi, a strapless silhouette with a sweetheart neckline, one shoulder draped in black sequins, and a beaded waist. As she wrote in her caption on Instagram, “As someone who has always championed African fashion, seeing our designers celebrated within one of Europe’s most renowned luxury retail destinations felt deeply meaningful. It was a beautiful reminder that African excellence belongs on every global stage.”
