Our Favourite Celebrity Valentine’s Day Photos
Valentine’s Day came with its usual mood board of roses, soft lighting, and carefully curated romance, but as always, celebrities took things several steps further. From full glam studio portraits to intimate couple frames, the photos that flooded timelines this year felt less like casual posts and more like visual love notes.
Some stars leaned into the obvious colour language of the season. Red showed up everywhere, but not in a predictable way. It came structured, sculpted, fitted, and styled with intention. Dorathy Bachor, Sonia Uche and Tonto Dikeh gave one of the most striking fashion moments, posing in a corseted red gown. The silhouette did most of the talking, with styling that stayed clean enough to let the outfit breathe.

On the men’s side, Jason Jae proved that Valentine’s fashion isn’t reserved for gowns and soft fabrics. His burgundy suit stood out amidst the sharp red hue everyone went for.

Couple photos, as expected, had its moment. Daniel Etim Effiong and Toyosi Etim Effiong shared frames that felt warm without trying too hard in a soft white suit. Their styling complemented rather than competed. You could see the thought in the coordination, but it never slipped into costume territory. The photos worked because the chemistry did the heavy lifting. Relaxed poses, soft expressions, and just enough closeness to sell the mood.
Interestingly, not everyone stayed within the red spectrum. White and brown made quiet appearances, offering contrast and softness.
Celebrity Valentine’s Day photos have slowly become an unspoken digital tradition. A blend of romance, branding, and fashion storytelling. And this year’s edition delivered on all fronts.
Below are Valentine’s Day shots of our favourite celebrities:

The burgundy corset centers the look. Its colour is rich and it had flora cut-outs. It hugs her waist. She wore a plain, long-sleeved button-down white shirt underneath it, but the combo makes it look unique because of the contrast between the shirt and the corset. For the button she wore blue jeans.

Her shoes match the corset in the same burgundy colour. They are pointed-toe heels from Gucci. She accessorized the fit in a simple way, sunglasses, gold statement bangles, a gold wristwatch and rings. Chioma complemented the look with a small structured red handbag with tiny crystals detailing on it. Her hair was styled neatly in a smooth low ponytail. Chioma’s makeup was done simply with softly defined brows, warm tones and a nude coloured lipstick to finish.

Chioma’s styling mixes three colours white, burgundy and blue. The look relies on structure, clean cuts and neat tailoring.

Monochrome Majesty: Tonto Dikeh in M. S. O Lagos
Tonto Dikeh posted photos on her Instagram on February 3, 2026, from a photoshoot where she went with an all-blue monochrome outfit. She captioned the post with “My God will show up loudly for you.

What broke you will announce you, what delayed you will propel you.”

Tonto wore a slate blue satin shirt. The shirt was long-sleeved with button cuffs, eyelet collar, and matching tie. She paired it with matching high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that almost covered her shoe.
On top of the shirt and trousers, she wore an oversized blue coat with wide lapels and an open front. The coat passed below her knees. Everything was the same shade of slate blue.

This three-piece is the Lapis set from the brand MSO Lagos and shot by James Abang. She carried a customised purple Bible with embossed detailing that stood out against the outfit. Her shoes were green pointed-toe heels with mixture of red and grey snakeskin prints on them. They weren’t very visible under the trousers but they peeked out underneath them.
She accessorized the look with large gold rings on multiple fingers and simple earrings. Her makeup was sharp with a well-defined cat-eye liner, a smooth contoured base with a soft glow and a rose-coloured lipstick. Dikeh’s hair was styled in a low ponytail that had little waves and a deep side part.

Tonto Dikeh’s monochrome look was very well put together. It didn’t do too much, it was versatile in its own way. By adding the purple Bible and green heels, she introduced some variety to the outfit. This blue outfit continues her recent styling content. She carefully considered the colour, fabric and coordinating accessories.

Teniola Aladese Has Found the Perfect White Dress
Teniola Aladese kicked of her week in style. “Good morninggg….. New week, let’s get it” she captioned her post with. She captured attention with just a simple white dress. The outfit combines a tailored, long-sleeved blazer style with the length of a mini dress.

Teniola had on a stark white, short dress with a deep, plunging V-neckline and notched lapels. The dress has long fitted sleeves and shoulders which fit her and holds its form well. It hugs her body well. She paired nude-coloured pointed heels, dark sunglasses and gold hoop earrings. Her hair was styled in soft waves and a black clutch in her hand kept accessories minimal.
The outfit works because of the balance between its structure and femininity. The elements of the blazer, the notched lapels and tailored shoulders gave it a smooth business like edge. But the short length and body-con fit didn’t make it feel too formal. It’s that mix that doesn’t make it your normal everyday style. The black accessories grounded the whole outfit and made it look composed.

Teniola won the Trailblazer Award at the 2022 AMVCAs. She started working in film in 2013, doing production work on over 30 Africa Magic films before she became an actress. She played the villain Folashade FK Kuku in “Unbroken” and Akweyon in “Jemeji.” Her time working behind the camera taught her what looks good on screen, and it shows in how she dresses.
