Omowunmi Dada Adds an Edgy Touch to Turquoise and Black at the ‘Black Market’ Premiere

Omowunmi Dada attended the Black Market premiere in Lagos on September 26, 2026, in a turquoise and black outfit. The screening was held at Tafawa Balewa Square, where more than 51,000 people gathered and set a new Guinness World Record for the largest attendance at a film screening in a single location.

Omowunmi acts in the film, where she plays Adesua, and she is also one of its executive producers. The record-setting premiere took place at the same ground where Nigeria declared independence in 1960.

She wore a turquoise cropped top with a square neckline and long sleeves. The top featured raised, puffed shoulders and the sleeves narrowed down to the wrists. Black triangle-shaped patches were stitched across the chest, shoulders and sleeves, each one edged with small beads. The top was made by House of Maysam.

She paired it with high-waisted black trousers that were wide through the hips and tapered towards the ankles. She completed the look with black pointed-toe pumps.

She accessorized with a black crocodile-embossed YSL envelope clutch featuring a gold logo, tinted sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, a thin chain, a wristwatch and rings. She wore her honey-blonde bob in a side-swept style by Mariegold.
