Tems wore a floor-length, all-white evening gown. The upper body of the dress had an illusion corset-cinched bodice appearing to be a halter-like design. The lower part of the dress is flowing and appears to be made of thick, patterned material with heavily detailed with a draped section of the same material on one side.

A key element in the styling of her outfit was the addition of a pearl necklace. It elevated her outfit from simple to classic. This pairing of white gown and pearls creates an aesthetic that is both regal and minimalist.

She finished the look with her touch of neutral-toned makeup that was simple yet bold. She accessorized with silver-diamond stone earrings and bracelets.

The white colour of her dress breaks the conventional red carpet norm particularly because everyone expects you to show up in something dramatic but she chose minimalistic that doesn’t require embellishments or complex designs.

Her outfit works because it exemplifies a “less is more” approach with a high fashion twist and it is often associated with bridal wear, she transformed it into something bold and subtly commanding without doing too much. The simplicity of the gown leans towards a mature, focused, and timeless look.

Chioma Ikokwu has always known how to make an entrance, but when she steps into culture, she does it with purpose. Recently, she appeared in two outfits that paid clear, unapologetic tribute to her Igbo roots, not as costumes. She captioned the pictures “I love my culture” and “When culture meets fashion.”

The first look is a traditional wedding inspired look. The top is a red off-shoulder, corset-style beaded detailing in front paired with a long, white, layered wrapper with a voluminous, ruffled design around the waist and hips, creating a dramatic silhouette. She finishes this look with her beret-style beaded hat, coral beads around her neck and wrist and a horse tail to make it a full royal regalia.

Her second look was a rich red Isiagu wrapper draped style. The top is a corset made style with a tree root illusion. The bottom features a red draped velvet that mimics double-layered skirts. The skirt is designed with a lion head (Isiagu) strategically placed on it. It’s a prominent motif in Igbo traditional wear signifying strength, royalty, power, and authority. She completes this look with a matching gele, a choker necklace, and black beaded handbag.

The highlight of her second outfit is the styling. Isiagu hasn’t been styled in that way before. She went further to ask a question in her post “Have you ever seen the Igbo Isiagu staple interpreted this way before?”

Wearing Isi Agu isn’t new. But presenting it like this, on this kind of platform, with this kind of calm assurance, is powerful. It reminds us once again that tradition doesn’t belong to the past. It belongs to whoever carries it and how you want it to be reflected.

These outfits were worn for a significant cultural event; for the chieftaincy title celebration of her father and her cousin Obi Cubana in Oba, Anambra.
