Laura stepped out at the launch of the HNK Interiors Content House in Lekki, Lagos, in a long black blazer from Julyet Peters, covered in bold mismatched white polka dots with a crisp white satin lapel. She styled it open over a plunging black bralette and matched it with wide-leg trousers in the same polka dot print. Her hair was a side-parted honey-blonde bob, paired with a neutral, glossy nude lip.

She accessorized with thick black cat-eye sunglasses and a black quilted Medium Lady Dior bag with its signature stitching and metal charms. Black pointed-toe pumps finished the look.
