Pantone’s 2026 Colour Cloud Trend Gets Uche Montana’s Seal of Approval
Pantone’s 2026 colour choice, Cloud Dancer, is already shaping how celebrities start the year. For the first time in its history since the tradition started in 1999, the Pantone Colour Institute picked a shade of white as the Colour of the Year. Nigerian screen darling Uche Montana appears in a shade through a white column gown. Big Brother Naija star Mercy Eke also kicked off 2026 in a crisp white gown.

Uche wears a fitted white column gown that reaches the floor. Across the chest, strands of small pearls are arranged in curves, creating simple texture. The placement adds interest to the dress.
A single side slit begins mid-thigh. The neckline rests high on her chest, leaving the shoulders bare. From the back of the dress, long panels of lightweight white fabric hang from the shoulders to the floor, stretching downward without adding bulk.

Her hair is pulled into a tight bun, ensuring the front detailing of the gown is fully visible. She pairs it with crystal drop earrings and neutral pointed heels. There are no belts, ruffles the dress itself remains the focus.

Pantone’s Cloud Dancer glows in the consistent soft white of the fabric, the lines of the gown, the pearl placement, and the back panels are distinctive, allowing the design to own the moment.
With this look, Uche Montana shows how Nigerian fashion can adopt global trends.

Dabota Lawson’s Italian Getaway Is a Vintage Fashion Dream Come to Life
Dabota Lawson celebrated her birthday on June 2nd in Positano, Italy, with a series of birthday photographs which she captioned “Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. I wish you all of God’s choicest blessings. Cheers to an iconic year.”
Positano is one of the most photographed places in the world, with its pastel buildings climbing up the cliffs and the Mediterranean stretching out below.

Lawson was photographed wearing a pristine white bodycon dress with a ruched torso, soft hip folds and an asymmetric draped off-the-shoulder neckline.
For accessories, Dabota wore a vintage-style headscarf tied under the chin which had a bold black-and-white border design, paired with white-rimmed square sunglasses with dark lenses. She carried an elongated leather clutch in a vibrant pastel yellow. For jewellery, she wore a silver bracelet and a wristwatch on her right wrist.

Her makeup consisted of defined brows, warm earthy tones and a nude lip. Lawson wrapped up her look with silver open-toe stiletto heeled sandals with a criss-cross strap design.

Back in May, Dabota was seen in a white blazer suit with crystal detailing on the shoulders and cuffs for the launch of her Dabota Cosmetics store. That look was tailored and formal. This one is looser, relaxed and vacation-ready.

Chioma Ikokwu Just Gave Us the Ultimate Lesson in French Riviera Chic
If you have been a fan of Chioma Ikokwu on Instagram, you already know that dressing well is something she takes seriously. The Good Hair Ltd CEO and Real Housewives of Lagos star posted some photos on her Instagram from her visit to Èze, a hilltop village on the French Riviera, with the caption: “Somewhere between the sea and the sky, deep in the South, lies a little piece of magic called Èze.”

Photo: Instagram
Chioma wore a white, short-sleeved cotton shirt dress from Celine with a buttoned collar, button-down front and a crystal-encrusted monogram on the left chest pocket. The dress featured a pleated, midi-length skirt and was cinched at the waist with a thin white belt finished with a gold buckle.

Her accessories included a wide-brimmed woven straw hat with a pearl trim attached to the brim. She carried the Celine Mini Triomphe Classic Panier bag with a tan leather top handle and a leather logo patch on the front. She also carried a traditional white paper and bamboo parasol in her right hand. For jewellery, she wore gold earrings and layered metallic bracelets.
Ikokwu completed the outfit with pointed-toe white slingback kitten heels featuring a fishnet overlay across the front. Her beauty look included a smokey eye and a glossy nude-pink lip.

Back in April, Chioma hosted her Chioma’s Closet pop-up in a mint green tweed halterneck jumpsuit with a deep V-neckline and wide-leg trousers with green fringe at the hem. Next to the Èze photos, the difference were clear. She switched between a relaxed, easygoing style and a super chic, minimalist look. Chioma definitely cares about her clothes.

Frances Theodore Proves White Never Plays It Safe
Frances Theodore just gave her fans a little reminder why white is not as simple as it looks. The Nigerian content icon and model was photographed in a white high-neck cape dress on 1 June, 2026, which she captioned, “I pull up like I own the city” and her outfit backed it up completely without a doubt.
She wore a floor-length body-con white gown featuring a high, structured mock neckline, an asymmetrical design with a sleeveless left side and a floor-sweeping cape sleeve wrapped over the right shoulder and a daring, thigh-high front slit.

She accessorized her look with a mini Lady Dior bag in grey quilted Cannage leather, which had silver-toned hardware and “DIOR” letter charms. Jewellry, she wore stacked gold bracelets on her left wrist and a simple ring on her hand. Her hair was worn in hollywood-style long black waves styled with a clean side part, dropping down her shoulder. Francesca makeup by Beauty by Kayo featured defined, arched eyebrows, warm tones and a glossy nude-toned lip. She complemented her outfit with metallic silver rhinestone stiletto sandals that wrapped tightly around her ankles and lower calves.

Frances has been on a steady move this year, from running her Besties Brunch initiative to building what she calls an “influence to empire” on her own terms. The white cape dress was just another reminder that she takes both her brand and her style seriously.
This look hit differently compared to her May outing where she wore a brown pinstripe shirt and mini skirt co-ord with a matching clutch and brown heels. That look was sharp and coordinated, but this one was bolder, and more daring.
