Kika Osunde’s Style Guide, Looks You’ll Love

When you think of Nigerian fashion entrepreneurs making bold statements both locally and globally, Kika Osunde should be top of mind.
She doesn’t try to blend in, she owns every room she walks into. Kika creates her own lane, setting trends without forcing it. As the co-founder of Good Hair Ltd., she’s not just running a beauty brand, she’s showing us that femininity, luxury, and confidence can go hand in hand.
From power looks in the boardroom to effortless airport slay, Kika’s style proves that you can be intentional without doing too much. Every outfit makes a statement, quietly, but clearly.
Here are a few looks that show why her style always turns heads:
Denim Luxe

Denim on denim
Kika doesn’t miss when it’s time to serve a look. She gave us denim-on-denim, styled as a laid-back jumpsuit with a button-down front and structured collar that gave it edge. Nothing loud, just clean, calm confidence.
She paired it with silver heels (yes, heels with denim, and it worked), letting her long straight hair frame her face in that soft, signature Kika way. A simple bracelet topped it off, proving that sometimes, simplicity is the boldest statement.
Jet-Set: Blazer Energy in the Sky
Kika knows how to mix boss energy with travel vibes. For this look, she rocked an oversized blazer over a simple top, the kind of combo that says “I’m in charge” without saying a word. Wide-leg jeans brought comfort, and nude heels kept it sleek.
Her short haircut added a touch of edge, and those dark sunnies? Pure power.
It’s giving “I’m catching flights, not feelings.”
Monochrome, But Make It Classy
Monochrome doesn’t have to be boring, and Kika proves that. She wore a fitted cream sweater tucked into matching trousers, layered with a long tan French coat that pulled it all together.
A structured handbag and a blonde updo added polish, showing us that soft luxury lives in the details.
Sleek & Shiny: The Art of Black Elegance
This look was pure finesse. Kika wore a soft black silk top on black flowy trousers, the kind of combination that moves when you move. The fabric looked rich but easy, and her hair fell softly to match the vibe. Simple black sandals sealed the look.
No extra noise. Just a fine girl showing us that sometimes, black does all the talking.
Tailored Edge: Corporate Chic
Kika switched it up with this powerful fit. An oversized black blazer, white shirt inside, and a slim tie resting on her chest, clean and sharp. But what gave the outfit real attitude was the leather pants. Not your everyday workwear, but she made it work. Then she stepped into heels and reminded us: femininity and power can walk side by side.
Bold in Burgundy: Street Glam, Kika Style
Kika pulled up in full street glam mode. She wore a fitted burgundy leather top with matching wide-legged trousers, edgy but still fine. Over it, she threw on an oversized red jacket that instantly made the outfit pop.
With black sunglasses and a cowboy hat to match, the whole look was bold and unbothered. She held a fluffy grey fur coat like, “Yeah, I came to slay.” Her long wavy hair fell freely, and the city background just made it all come together.
Conclusion
Kika Osunde’s style speaks for itself, calm, confident, and completely hers.
She doesn’t overdo it, but you’ll notice. She doesn’t beg for attention, but you’ll look. In every frame, she reminds us that presence isn’t always loud.
Sometimes, it’s just knowing who you are, and letting your fashion reflect it.
So tell me, which of these looks are you trying first? Let’s talk in the comments.

Diana Russet is Unforgettable in a Yellow Dress

We once called it “Cinderella dressed in yellow,” but when Diana Russet stepped into the room, she overthrew Cinderella. A yellow dress doesn’t just make you look good; it makes you feel like the main character. And Diana? She made yellow unforgettable.
The kind of confidence in her expression speaks louder than words. In her post, she mentioned, “Beautiful in the eyes of many, but special in the heart of one.” While we don’t know exactly what she was trying to say, one thing is for sure: her words matched her look perfectly. Let’s check out how she rocked the outfit.
The Outfit

Diana Russet
Diana is dressed in the floor-length yellow that hugged her body in the right place. At the top, the dress was fitted then it gently flowed into a skirt and it had a high slit that showed a bit of her skin. The yellow color was bright and definitely impossible to forget. Yellow lights up the room, but with Diane, it shines even brighter and she carries herself with confidence.
The Accessories
She didn’t stop at keeping us glued to her dress. She kept her accessories clean. She wore a simple bracelet, strappy black sandals decorated with red roses. She didn’t overcrowd the look. Instead, she let the dress shine, and that is what made it even more beautiful.
The Hair & Glam
Her hair fell in smooth waves, and it was styled to perfection. The makeup? It was soft, clean, with a fresh face that brings out her natural glow. Nothing too loud. It was just a soft glam that was down right. From head to toe, Diane looked like that girl, honestly, she is.
Conclusion
Diana served premium looks without extra drama. It was simple yet confident. So, if you’re amongst those always searching for something to wear to that party, special dinner, or wedding ceremony, then go through Diane’s style book. This yellow dress is proof that when you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows. What are your thoughts on this look? Let me know in the comment section.
