What Defines Uche Montana’s Style?
Red Carpet Royalty
Uche doesn’t just walk the red carpet, she commands it. At the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), she stole the show in a custom Veekee James gown: a nude illusion mermaid dress with intricate beading, a sculpted corset, and feathered details that exudes luxury.

Color as a Power Move
If there’s one thing Uche doesn’t fear, it’s color. At The Betrayed movie premiere, she made a fiery entrance in a high-neck pepper red gown with a nude corset twist, courtesy of Prudential Atelier. In another standout look, she embraced sunshine yellow from SAMA WOMAN, pairing a halter-neck cutout top with palazzo pants.
Takeaway: Bright hues can be both elegant and daring. Don’t be afraid to wear red, orange, yellow, or emerald green, especially in well-tailored silhouettes.

Cultural Sophistication
Uche’s love for Nigerian heritage comes through in her occasional embrace of Ankara and lace fabrics, reimagined in chic, contemporary cuts. Whether it’s a structured blouse or a floor-length skirt, she knows how to fuse tradition with modern style.
Takeaway: Add cultural depth to your wardrobe. Explore ways to modernize traditional fabrics, and don’t forget the finishing touches, think gele, bold earrings, or handcrafted clutches.

Her dress, designed by Becca Needles N Stitches and styled by Henry Sklue, was made from deep red fabric covered from top to bottom in a diamond-patterned crystal lattice. It featured a floor-length mermaid cut, fitted through the body with an asymmetric one-shoulder tie, then flared into a long train that pooled at her feet.

Her hair was styled in a smooth, bone-straight, middle-parted look keeping the focus on her face and the neckline of the dress. For Jewellry, she went with rings and a bracelet, with a matching Lujah purse rounding off the outfit. Photography was by Benny Shot It.
Some time back, for a shoot promoting her film, she wore a black high-slit dress with curly hair and sunglasses beside a vintage blue Camaro, captioned “Something to watch this weekend.”
Ayra Starr just landed her first movie role in Children of Blood and Bone, and she marked the moment at New York Fashion Week in a sheer royal-purple LaQuan Smith maxi dress for the film’s event, captioning the photos “Feeling purple in LaQuan Smith x Children of Blood and Bone.”
The dress had a sheer bodice built into a high-neck silhouette, with the strap draped asymmetrically over one shoulder. The gown ran into a thigh-high slit running down one leg, with the sheer fabric continuing to the floor. She kept accessories minimal, just silver drop earrings and a small purple bag.

Her hair was worn down in soft, straight strands. Her makeup featured magenta and purple tones, finished with a glossy ombre lip, and she completed the look with strappy heels.
The event tied into Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone universe, where she also features on the soundtrack alongside Fireboy DML, and BNXN. The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and produced by Paramount Pictures, is set for release on January 15, 2027.

A few days earlier, Ayra met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York. She wore a vintage Azzedine Alaïa striped bodycon mini dress from the designer’s 1992 collection, with an off-shoulder neckline and a geometric knit border along the top. The photos were taken in front of a white fireplace mantel with a model ferry placed on top, and she captioned the post simply “Mr Mamdani.”
Each Sunday this BBNaija season 11, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu comes out in something new. No repeats so far.
He has moved between sharp Western suits and full traditional wear all season. One week its a tailored double-breasted jacket with a two-tone gradient finish, the next its a flowing agbada with embroidery running down the sleeves.

The details are worth highlighting too. There’s a graphic maize motif stitched into a sky-blue suit, silver lattice sequin work on a black wrapper, and geometric patterns worked into denim fabric on an agbada. Several Nigerian designers have dressed him this season, including Mai Atafo, Deji & Kola, Ugo and Lisa Folawiyo.
He has also added extras to a few of the looks: a crystal-handled horsetail whip, layers of coral neck beads, sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton duffel bag.
