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.

For her birthday shoot, Teminikan wore a rust-orange pinstripe pantsuit by Oseyi Adams, with a double-breasted jacket, peak lapels, padded shoulders, flap pockets, and matching buttons, paired with high-waisted flared trousers. 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.

Her hair was styled in soft black waves with a side part. Her makeup stayed simple, finished with a glossy nude lip.

Dede Ashiogwu recently shared new photos on her Instagram. The former Bigbrother Naija housemate was seen on a rooftop surrounded by palm trees and she captioned the post “Popped by to say hello.”

She was photographed in a cropped, white sleeveless rib-knit tank top with a scoop neckline and a hem cut short above the waist, leaving her midsection bare. She paired it with a low-rise, multicoloured crochet midi skirt featuring horizontal stripes in shades of orange, pink, yellow, red, black, and mint green, finished with a scalloped hemline and a knit drawstring at the hip.

Her hair was worn in a long, straight dark brown wig styled in a half-up, half-down look, smoothly pulled back away from the face. Her makeup was done in warm earthy tones and a glossy nude lip with dark liner. For accessories, she carried a small, structured bright pink top-handle mini bag and wore a gold chain necklace, small flower-shaped stud earrings, and a slim bracelet. For shoes, Dede chose clear wedge sandals with a transparent front strap and heel.

Her tank top stopped short enough to show off a flat, toned stomach, while the skirt sat low on her hips.

This isn’t her first time pairing a fitted top with a skirt either. Earlier this August, she wore a baby pink off-shoulder top with a matching pleated mini skirt during a workout, styled with a blonde bob wig and lace-up pink heels. While the two outfits have different silhouettes and styling, both looks show Dede wearing skirts with fitted tops.
