Wizkid and Pharrell Raise the Bar for Male Fashion—and Possibly New Music
Is Wizkid hinting at new music? That’s the question his latest Instagram post has sparked. The images, captured alongside American musician, producer, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, appeared without a caption, leaving fans to speculate. While it’s not confirmed whether new music is coming, the photos themselves highlight how both artists approach visual style.
Wizkid wears an all-black leather outfit, with a fitted biker jacket and tailored trousers that make an impression with their tailored fit. Pharrell Williams takes a different approach, pairing a satin bomber with wide-leg trousers that move freely, showing how fabric and cut shape his look. The black-and-white photos capture the textures, contrasts, and details of both outfits, making the differences between the two styles clear at a glance.

Wizkid’s all-black leather outfit maintains its sharp tailoring. A fitted biker-style jacket with a structured collar is paired with lace-up trousers and pointed boots. A chain necklace and tinted sunglasses add subtle details. The leather continues to define the outfit’s shape and clean lines, showing how careful cuts and material choices elevate the overall look.
Pharrell offers a contrasting approach. A satin bomber with graphic detail is paired with wide-leg trousers and solid sneakers, creating a relaxed shape that emphasizes movement and proportion. The satin introduces sheen, while the trousers provide balance through volume. Minimal accessories allow the focus to remain on the combination of cut, fabric, and shape.

Side by side, the photos show contrast between fitted leather and relaxed satin, structured lines and looser proportions, as well as different textures and volumes. Both looks demonstrate how fabric, fit, and design can define a look without relying on logos or branding.
Whether this collaboration signals new music or is solely a style moment, the images highlight contemporary approaches to menswear. They emphasize how tailored details, fabric choices, and proportions can make each outfit visually distinct, showcasing the thoughtful approach both Wizkid and Pharrell take toward their public image.

She wore a structured denim corset bodice in a light-wash blue. The corset is fitted and tight at the waist. It has visible denim designs: seams, panels and a repurposed denim waistband wrapped around her hips with a leather logo patch on it adding texture to the bodice. On top of the corset she wore a heavily distressed light-wash blue cropped denim jacket. The jacket is oversized with chest pockets, a wide collar and worn patches across the shoulders and front panels. It’s long-sleeved and it was rolled up a bit.

For the bottom, Damola wore a long mid-wash blue denim skirt with a thigh-high slit at the left side and a raw, unfinished hem that pools slightly at her feet adding a rough edge to the full outfit. She paired the look with a structured tote bag that matches her dress. She completed the look with a pair of denim pointed-toe heels that match the outfit.

Oyindamola accessorized her look with silver statement bangles on both wrists, a silver ring and a simple chain necklace. Her makeup was done by Ewatosin Makeovers and it was a soft-glam look with well-defined brows, neutral smokey eyes and glossy nude lips outlined with a darker line. Official flarehair styled her hair in a dark brown bob with flipped-out ends and a deep-side part that sweeps across her face.

Pieces are in different shades of blue, creating contrast.

Jackie Aina Wears Plunging Crystal Pink Suit to YSL Beauty Celebration
When Jackie Aina stepped out for the recent celebration hosted by Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, she arrived in a plunging crystal-embellished pink suit. She’s known for her sharp eye for beauty and branding.
The suit aligned with the brand’s identity and her perceived personality. Cut in a rich pink fabric, the color choice contrasted with her skin tone and the event’s evening setting. The blazer was tailored close to the body, with a deep plunging neckline exposing her midriff that replaced the need for an inner blouse or camisole. This design choice highlighted the craftsmanship of the suit and the crystal detailing that traced parts of the lapel and bodice.

Rather than scatter embellishments across the entire outfit, the crystals were placed strategically. The detailing of the jacket highlighted its shape and added texture without conflicting with the base fabric. Under event lighting, the stones created a soft shimmer that registered clearly in photos but still maintained its design.
The trousers followed the same tailored structure. High-waisted and fitted through the hips, they fell into a straight, slightly relaxed leg. With the blazer already detailed, the clean bottom made the look feel soft.

She opted for minimal jewellery, which allowed the crystal work to act as the primary accessory. Her earrings were delicate. She wore a Saint Laurent Amalia slingback pump. The pointed-toe structure of the heel gave off a sophisticated and classic look.
