Bimbo Ademoye Just Turned a Hair Extension Into the Chicest Tie Detail
Bimbo Ademoye often experiment with styles, and her latest fashion style felt like it was made for its own applause. Known for her infectious energy and on-screen versatility, Nollywood star just proved that when it comes to style, she sets her own direction, shown in her recurring preference for corseted pieces.
She wore a sharp, burgundy power suit, Bimbo could have easily gone for a conventional silk necktie or a statement necklace. Instead of that, she went for a braided hair extension.

Bimbo Ademoye: Instagram
Ademoye wore a structured, single-breasted blazer from Mimmikasu, with sharp lapels and padded shoulders that was sharply tailored to her frame. Bimbo paired it with matching high-waisted, straight-leg tailored trousers that created a seamless line.
Underneath the blazer she wore a crisp white button-down shirt. The key detail of her outfit was her necktie, a thick, neatly three-strand braided hair extension in a matching wine-red shade, tucked under the collar.

While Bimbo’s hair was styled in a blunt-cut bob with a sharp middle part, her makeup featured defined, arched brows, neutral eyeshadow, and a glossy lip that complemented the bold tones of her suit.
For accessories, she carried a structured top-handle satchel in an off-white and black snakeskin print from Winston Leather sporting oversized, gold wire-framed aviator-style clear glasses. Her outfit was completed with classic black pointed-toe heels.

Back in February, she was in a dark brown leather jacket, white fitted skirt, knee-high boots, and a red Lady Dior bag, giving every bit of a cool girl feel. Now she’s in a tailored suit with a braided tie. Different looks, same Bimbo.

I believe I clocked this look” she captioned.

The Nile Entertainment hosted the high-profile gathering in collaboration with Universal Pictures and Nigerian music icon Mr. P (Peter Okoye). The event took place on April 19, 2026, at EbonyLife Place in Victoria Island, Lagos. The screening brought together 24 notable figures and several Nollywood stars to celebrate Jackson’s impact on music and film before the movie’s official nationwide release on April 22. While most celebrities arrived in varied looks, Ini chose to represent the essence of the event through her outfit.

She went for an Afro-western inspired look. She wore an indigenous pair of Nanya barrel pants from Chidimma Fashion.
The high-waisted design features a voluminous shape and fringe detailing along the outer seams, adding movement and texture to the bold woven fabric. Ini wore a tailored black cropped blazer. The sharp, structured shoulders add a sharp finish that keeps it current.
She completes the outfit with a Western twist. She layered the look with a black cowboy hat featuring crystal-fringe brims.

She wore a pale yellow short-suit that balanced structure with ease. The oversized blazer had a sharp, padded shoulders and a single black button. Instead of trousers, she paired it with matching wide-leg bermuda shorts cut just above the knee. By wearing the blazer without a top underneath, she created a deep neckline that draws focus to her jewelry. Her hair was styled in a jet-black, chin-length bob with a straight middle part that framed her face. She wore natural makeup with warm earthy tones, and a nude lip.

Her accessories are where she played with contrast. She layered chunky white pearls in varying lengths, filling the open neckline. To offset the tailoring, she added a yellow LA Dodgers baseball cap. She added white cat-eye sunglasses and a yellow mini-handbag. For her feet, she chose pointed-toe white slingback heels that complements her pearls and glasses.

What sets this apart is the unexpected pairings that work. A baseball cap with a tailored blazer set, Bermuda shorts with heels, and layered pearls. Its a different direction from her all-black look she wore on February 12, where she leaned into a darker, sharper shade in a black blazer, wide-leg trousers, a fedora, and a quilted Chanel bag.This yellow outfit is brighter and more playful, but both look reply on the same confident styling approach.
