In its Mother’s Day campaign, StyleVitae chose Powede Awujo as a muse to celebrate the strength of new mothers. On the brand’s official Instagram, they wrote: “Motherhood is powerful. And sometimes power looks like Powede Awujo.” In the shoots, Powede trades the usual black Monday suit for a blush three-piece look, introducing a softer colour to a workwear style typically seen in darker tones.

Her tailored blush pantsuit was made by A Modern Africa in Lagos, a brand known for suits, kaftans, and agbada. The three-piece includes a double-breasted blazer paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers and a crisp white shirt. The dark brown tie under the collar adds contrast to the blush blazer. The colour of the tie also matches her brown pointed heels.

The trousers sit at the waist and fall into a wide-leg cut. The blazer adds structure through the shoulders, with side pockets, visible along the front seams. A pocket square is seen from the blazer’s breast pocket, with a darker lining placed in it to add a small colour detail to the suit.

The slim bracelets on her wrist and thin rings on her fingers reflect her caption, “I don’t like too many accessories. I’m not a busy dresser.” Her nails were painted in a soft neutral shade matching the blush tone of the suit. The styling and structured finishing of the suit, shirt and tie was done by Noble Igwe.

Her makeup was done by The Nukkie Company in Lagos, using soft neutral tones with defined eyes and neutral lips. Her hair was styled in long waves over her shoulders.

Powede was captured by Jewel in headshots, close-up portraits and wide shots, against a minimalist background. A video of the shoot was filmed by Nobs, where she spoke about the outfit. “I feel beautiful. I feel soft because the colour is a very beautiful one, which I’d say is like a mix of my favourite shades like pink and then my neutrals. I love them. I love the fact that it’s not such a really bright colour.”

StyleVitae served as the creative director for the shoot, overseeing the presentation of Powede Awujo’s outfit for her Mother’s Day feature. The team presented a fresh take on Monday tailoring, highlighted by the blush three-piece suit.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie appears in the new “Carrying Culture” campaign by Bvlgari. The campaign was photographed by Ethan James Green and styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. In the images, Adichie is presented as one of the five global figures chosen for the project, bringing her voice as a writer into Bvlgari’s cultural campaign.

In the campaign photographs, Adichie appears in a white off‑the‑shoulder gown with clean lines. The dress has a clean, smooth surface. Her hair is styled in long braids pulled back from her face.

The campaign’s focus is a sculptural circular gold clutch from Bvlgari’s Icons Minaudière collection, which holds a miniature book representing each Global Icon’s personal connection to culture.

The pendant is not only for decoration. It can be opened to reveal a small round insert with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie written on it. In one of the campaign images, Adichie holds the small disc close to her face after taking it out of the pendant, showing the detail that connects the piece directly to her name.

She complements the look with stacked gold bracelets and slim rings on her fingers.

In a video shared alongside the campaign images, Adichie alternates between bright smiles and calm, thoughtful expressions, occasionally leaning forward in thoughtful poses. She says:

“I write realistic fiction. I write the kind of fiction that I hope will give someone who reads it a hundred years from now an idea of how we live today. I don’t think that novels should be ideologically correct because life is not ideologically correct. Life is messy. But I think novels should strive for emotional truth.”

Tems attended the 2026 BRITS Awards in a head-to-toe white look on 28 February. She didn’t just light up the red carpet; she also presented the International Artist of the Year award to Spanish pop star Rosalía.

The outfit balanced simplicity with dramatic detailing on the corset, with delicate lace trims and visible textural details, and a bandeau neckline. Off-shoulder sleeves added volume and extended outward, contrasting the fitted bodice, while the lower half flowed into layered lace with a front split, giving the dress a soft, graceful shape.

The all-white choice seemed deliberate. White often represents purity and virtue. For Tems, who has risen from a Nigerian star to a world music force, the colour felt symbolic. It reflected a new beginning and maturity. She did not rely on heavy colours or vibrant outfits. Instead, she allowed defined fabric and tailoring to speak.

Her hairstyle gave cultural weight to her look. It was styled by Dunsin Wright, where she wore three pigtail-thick braided woven loops, styled neatly to elevate her outfit. This hairstyle draws from distant African braiding traditions. The braids are seen as minimalist and protective, but for this look, they are expressive. On a global stage like the BRIT Awards, this choice subtly affirmed her Nigerian identity. It was a sight of her roots even in equipped fashion spaces.

Her makeup balanced it all with her dress. Deep ombre red glossy lips and defined smokey wing eyes added richness, preventing the white ensemble from feeling washed out. Statement earrings completed the look, adding sparkle without distraction.

Tems’ all-white look reflects the woman she has grown into. From Lagos to international stages as this one, she is fully aware of her place in the industry and mirrored her journey in a minimalistic all-white dress. It defined her authenticity and quiet power.
