Sharon Ooja attended a friend’s military wedding in Abuja on August 23, 2026, wearing a custom-made light blue tweed skirt suit from Sevon Dejana, styled by Dahmola. The tailored peplum blazer had high shoulders, a standing collar, and a deep V-neckline with gold statement buttons, matched with a fitted skirt. The suit was covered in glittering leaf-like embroidery, with a feathered waist trim in purple and white, and a fabric train at the back. Her hair was a smooth, vintage-inspired updo, and her makeup was done by Glam by Uwa. She wore a layered gold necklace, door-knocker earrings, a chain bracelet, and nude ballet-style pumps.

Her hair was styled into platinum blonde faux-bob shaped into a vintage flip with side bangs, courtesy of Hair by Aneesha. Her accessory was from Neefamo, and for shoes, she wore black pointed-toe heels with gold detailing.

Out on a brunch outing in Paris, Delonyii wore an oversized white blazer over her shoulders, over a black scoop-neck cropped tank and fitted black shorts trimmed in white lace. Her hair fell in dark waves under a black pillbox hat. Her makeup was done in neutral tones with products from Baretobeautycosmetics. She finished the look with dark oval sunglasses, a black leather bucket bag, a silver watch, thin bracelets, and black patent stilettos.

Leaning into black dandyism, Bimbo chose matching mocha-tan two-piece set: a blazer with broad shoulders that buttoned low at the waist, worn with wide-leg trousers cut high. Her hair was done in a long bone-straight wig by Hair by Tosin, and her makeup by Glam by Morgan combined earthy tones with a berry-red lip. Her accessories included a scarlet New York Yankees cap, a red Dolce & Gabbana trapezoidal bag, gold hoop earrings, a bracelet, and a few rings, finished with black leather loafers.

Medlin Boss spent weeks in Europe, from Paris before her birthday to Marbella, Spain, where she wore Dolce & Gabbana at La Cabane Marbella. Her look was a cropped bralette top with a sweetheart neckline in a pink, white, and purple majolica-style print, matched with a flared mini skirt finished with a hot pink hem border. Her hair was styled in soft black waves with a side part. Her makeup stayed simple, finished with a glossy nude lip. She accessorized with white oval sunglasses, a cherry-red Hermes Kelly bag, a pendant necklace, and open-toe heeled sandals.

In a post promoting her new project “Second Chances,” Uche Montana went with a baby pink gown by House of Moesha, with a thigh-high slit and a sheer cutout panel at the waist, matched with a feathered wrap draped over one shoulder. Her hair, courtesy of Touch of I.Bee, was styled in loose, long dark waves. Genovera Beauty handled her makeup in warm tones and a nude lip. She rounded off the look with delicate drop earrings, a small clutch, and strappy heeled sandals.

On 21 August, in what appears to be an outing, Yvonne Godswill wore a black gown by Yagi Wrld, with a cutout waist and one shoulder draped in fabric that swept down the opposite arm. Her hair was styled into a full, curly auburn updo, and her makeup was done in neutral shades with a nude lip. She kept her jewellery down to a single hoop earring.

Ini Edo traveled to Abuja to celebrate her big brother Captain Ekong’s 60th birthday, and she showed up dressed for the occasion. She captioned the post “Captain Ekong @60,” adding that since she was celebrating a fashionista, she “had to bring a little extra spice.”

Her dress, designed by Becca Needles N Stitches and styled by Henry Sklue, was made from deep red fabric covered from top to bottom in a diamond-patterned crystal lattice.

Ayra Starr just landed her first movie role in Children of Blood and Bone, and she marked the moment at New York Fashion Week in a sheer royal-purple LaQuan Smith maxi dress for the film’s event, captioning the photos “Feeling purple in LaQuan Smith x Children of Blood and Bone.”

The dress had a sheer bodice built into a high-neck silhouette, with the strap draped asymmetrically over one shoulder. The gown ran into a thigh-high slit running down one leg, with the sheer fabric continuing to the floor. She kept accessories minimal, just silver drop earrings and a small purple bag.

Her hair was worn down in soft, straight strands. Her makeup featured magenta and purple tones, finished with a glossy ombre lip, and she completed the look with strappy heels.

The event tied into Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone universe, where she also features on the soundtrack alongside Fireboy DML, and BNXN. The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and produced by Paramount Pictures, is set for release on January 15, 2027.

A few days earlier, Ayra met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York. She wore a vintage Azzedine Alaïa striped bodycon mini dress from the designer’s 1992 collection, with an off-shoulder neckline and a geometric knit border along the top. The photos were taken in front of a white fireplace mantel with a model ferry placed on top, and she captioned the post simply “Mr Mamdani.”

Published

Each Sunday this BBNaija season 11, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu comes out in something new. No repeats so far.

He has moved between sharp Western suits and full traditional wear all season. One week its a tailored double-breasted jacket with a two-tone gradient finish, the next its a flowing agbada with embroidery running down the sleeves.

The details are worth highlighting too. There’s a graphic maize motif stitched into a sky-blue suit, silver lattice sequin work on a black wrapper, and geometric patterns worked into denim fabric on an agbada. Several Nigerian designers have dressed him this season, including Mai Atafo, Deji & Kola, Ugo and Lisa Folawiyo.

He has also added extras to a few of the looks: a crystal-handled horsetail whip, layers of coral neck beads, sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton duffel bag.

He opened the season on July 26, 2026, in a charcoal-to-off-white ombré double-breasted suit by Mai Atafo. The colour fading from dark at the shoulders to almost white by the ankle. He finished with a large black lapel bow and patent shoes

On August 9, 2026, he appeared on BBNaija in another look by Mai Atafo, this time in a black-and-white outfit built from a cropped boxy jacket, wide-legged trousers, and a tie trimmed with pearls, and accessorized with a Louis Vuitton Keepall bag.

Most recently, on September 6, 2026, he hosted the eviction show in a forest-green two-piece suit by Deji & Kola, worn under a windowpane trench coat lined in a floral print. He paired it with brown shades and matching leather shoes.

Season 11 still has weeks to go, and if Ebuka’s run so far is anything to go by, there are plenty more looks to come.
