Ever since Yvonne Godswill travelled to London in early March 2026, the reality star has been effectively turning the city’s historic streets into her personal runway. Documenting her journey through a “mini London vlog,” Yvonne has been focused on city outings and luxury spots, and she posted again on March 17, 2026, with the caption “It’s no longer your city when I’m in it”.

She wore a full monochrome outfit with her clutch adding contrast. She wore a cream-coloured oversized Zara high-neck bomber jacket with structured shoulders and a distinctive buckle detail at the collar. For her bottoms, Yvonne wore Bershka wide-leg flared trousers in a matching neutral tone that created a fluid, wrapped figure.

The bomber jacket had a plaid underlayer that showed at the cuffs. For accessories, she went with a brown faux fur clutch bag. Her hair was styled in a short black pixel cut styled smooth with micro bangs and her makeup featured warm tones and a neutral lip. She completed the look with brown open-toe heeled sandals.

Neutral tones, no fuss, and London as her backdrop, Yvonne Godswill kept the styling minimal. The monochrome approach meant every detail worked. The fit, fabric, and accessories worked together. The faux fur clutch against all that cream, the plaid peek at the cuffs, the sandals finishing the look. With London’s street, the waterfront, and the yellow Lamborghini in the background, the styling worked as one.

Published

Chimezie Imo - Instagram

Chimezie Imo has been in the U.S. for several weeks, sharing a series of street-style looks on Instagram, from Brooklyn to Times Square. A common thread across these outfits has been a focus on monochromatic shades. Yesterday, he posted a new look that marked a departure from his usual street style something more elevated. With the “Sinners” track ‘Magic What We Do’ by Ludwig Goranss attached to the post, it became clear he was paying homage to Michael B. Jordan’s dual characters in the film, captioning the photo: ‘Meet me at half past 4’.

He wore a mid-length charcoal grey herringbone overcoat with notched lapels and buttoned front. He layered it with a yellow and brown plaid vest paired with a white shirt and a burgundy-coloured tie running straight down the middle. For his bottom he wore wide-leg, high-waisted grey trousers that matched the cool tones of his overcoat.

Chimezie accessorized his look with a grey flat cap that complemented his black leather gloves and a bold red Telfer bag as a statement piece. His outfit was completed with black patent leather shoes.

The strength of the look comes from its layering. Many men avoid waistcoats, but Chimezie wears a full three-piece outfit. The plaid waistcoat under the wool overcoat provides a break in the solid tones of the coat, while the burgundy tie matches the red in his bag, completing the outfit.

He carried black leather gloves in one hand, adding a classic accessory to the outfit.

His style leans heavily into a vintage-inspired smart-casual look that emphasizes on layering and texture as he combines formal elements with modern streetwear style.
