London in football season brings cold air and packed stadiums. At The Emirates, fans were energized while Arsenal played on the pitch, and Tiwa Savage drew attention with her outfit from the sidelines. The match may not have gone the Gunners’ way, yet Tiwa showed a leather look.

“Football teaches patience but even on an off day the fit still wins ⚽️,”

she wrote on Instagram, a playful nod to the loss and a salute to her outfit.

For her stadium appearance with rapper Odumodu Black, the Afrobeats star wore leather. She stepped out in a deep brown leather jacket with a relaxed, boxy shape, layered over a crisp white shirt and black tie, inspired by menswear styling.

The bottom half followed the same colour tone, with high-waisted leather trousers in black shade, tailored straight-leg. The monochrome look kept everything uniform.

Under her arm, a generously sized burgundy leather clutch added depth without breaking the colour coordination. Minimal jewellery and clean footwear maintained focus on the outfit’s key elements.

Her pixie cut and clean glam completed the look, part of her off-stage style.
With Odumodu Black by her side and thousands of fans in the stands, she drew attention with her fashion-forward appearance. Arsenal lost the match, but Tiwa Savage stood out in style.

The Bridgerton Season 4 premiere in South Africa was not just another stop on a global press tour. The location and the guest list mattered and the way African creatives showed up mattered the most. With Uzor Arukwe, Idia Aisien, Shine Rosman, Efe Irele, and other familiar faces in attendance, suffice it to say, Nigeria was well represented.

Shine Rosman brought her own regency-era inspired interpretation of the event in a gown designed by Lasosa. The gown is a combination of fuschia and deep burgundy. It has a detailed waist silhouette with a form fitting strapless fuschia bodice. A voluminous draped burgundy overskirt with ruffled red trim at the front. She pairs this look with a medium sized fuschia hand fan and matching gloves. Her hair style came with a bit of drama. Minimal accessories and a soft face glam.

Uzor Arukwe arrived looking assured. His outfit did not fight for attention. He wore a tailored deep blue tailcoat featuring intricate black and gold embroidery on the cuffs and collar and matching pants. A waistcoat with gold and white pattern in front. The shirt was a white, high-collared dress shirt with cravat at the neck. He was accessorised with black glasses, formal shoes, a gold chain detail on his jacket, and a black walking cane. The outfit sat well on his frame and kept proportions intact.

Idia Aisien approached the night looking like a Bridgerton. She wore a regal, period-style ball gown. The colour of the dress was a deep emerald green, likely velvet fabric which provides a rich texture. This is complemented by gold with a mix of green patterns used for the center panel of the dress. The bodice is a structured gold corset design. The sleeves are short and puffed that extended into opera-length green gloves with gold designs at the wrists. She accessorised with a black fascinator.

Efe Irele interpreted the Afro-couture masquerade theme of the event in her mint-green ball gown with yellow and green floral appliques. It was off-shoulder, sweetheart neckline. The dress has long flowing sleeves that drape elegantly to the ground. Her hair updo is the center of attention. She captioned the image “The sunset in Africa” and it was well reflected in her makeup. Sunset-toned eyeshadow.

Together, the guests turned the evening into a celebration of African creativity, where period inspiration met contemporary design.
