Agbada is not new to Nigerian fashion, but every so often, someone comes along and makes people look at it differently. Kola Omotoso is doing exactly that. Since leaving the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, the reality TV star has turned nearly every traditional outing into another opportunity to experiment with agbada, and Nigerians online have taken notice.

For a church outing which he captioned, “Sunday with the IGWE’S” he was in a King Kaftan piece: a black and white floral agbada with matching trousers and black loafers worn with a matching printed cap and round glasses.

For a look he captioned “One fit was required, two felt more like me,” he wore a teal agbada from Tochinima with dark embroidered patterns running down the front, a matching cap, and several strands of black beads layered at his neck, finished with a long carved wooden staff.

Kola was also photographed for another shoot in a black, white and gold floral kaftan worn with matching trousers, dark loafers, round sunglasses, and a strand of black beads.

In what appears to be a photoshoot, he wore a burgundy agbada with a fan-shaped emblem at the chest, a matching cap, round glasses, and brown loafers with gold buckles.

For a couple’s shoot titled “THE UNION,” a collaboration between Mide World and Rogue, he wore a brown beaded agbada with leaf embroidery down the front, a stiff pointed cap, two rows of black beads, a wristwatch and hand beads.

He also wore a brown agbada with a large embroidered chest panel, a folded brown Fila cap, gold-framed sunglasses, a leather watch, a bracelet, and tasseled brown suede loafers.

For another shoot, he wore a navy and red striped agbada with fringed edges and geometric embroidery down the front, paired with matching trousers, with a wine-red cap and brown shoes.

In one shoot, Kola wore a flowing white agbada with simple embroidery down the chest, paired with a woven maroon and cream cap, dark square glasses, a wristwatch, a ring and black leather shoes.

From bold colours to fine embroidery, Kola Omotoso’s agbada looks show just how much room there is to play with traditional Nigerian dressing.

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.

He opened the season on July 26, 2026, in a charcoal-to-off-white ombré double-breasted suit by Mai Atafo. The colour fading from dark at the shoulders to almost white by the ankle. He finished with a large black lapel bow and patent shoes

On August 9, 2026, he appeared on BBNaija in another look by Mai Atafo, this time in a black-and-white outfit built from a cropped boxy jacket, wide-legged trousers, and a tie trimmed with pearls, and accessorized with a Louis Vuitton Keepall bag.

Most recently, on September 6, 2026, he hosted the eviction show in a forest-green two-piece suit by Deji & Kola, worn under a windowpane trench coat lined in a floral print. He paired it with brown shades and matching leather shoes.

Season 11 still has weeks to go, and if Ebuka’s run so far is anything to go by, there are plenty more looks to come.

Sharon Ooja attended the Lagos premiere of “19” in a sheer, ruffled leopard print gown. She captioned the post, “Giving leopard vibes.”

She wore a floor-length sheer leopard print dress with a high cutout at the front and ruffled layers falling all the way down to the floor. She used minimal accessories light: a pair of small hoop earrings and thin gold bangles on one wrist, plus a small black quilted clutch.

Her hair, styled by Adefunke, was pulled back into a low bun and wrapped in a matching leopard print headscarf. Sharon’s makeup was done by Annabel’s Glam in warm tones, with nude, glossy lips. She completed the look with black strappy heels laced up to her calf.

In her caption, Sharon explained why the night was important to her. She was there to support her best friend, Bisola Aiyeola, who stars in “19,” a crime drama written and directed by Tola Odunsi and distributed by Nile Entertainment. Sharon said she was proud of her and congratulated Tola Odunsi for bringing the story to the screen. “19” opens in cinemas nationwide this Friday, September 11.

Sharon also used the post to remind her followers that “Ordinary People,” the Netflix series she stars in alongside Ramsey Nouah, Adunni Ade, Chidi Mokeme, and Michelle Dede, is still streaming after its September 4 premiere.

She brought the same attention to detail to the “Ordinary People” premiere, where she wore a cream and white striped corset dress with a peplum waist and a bow tied above the hip.
