Adekunle Gold and Simi shared photos on Instagram to announce that they are expecting their second child, with the caption”3.10.26, God bless my little family”. The couple moved away from typical maternity photography and chose a coordinated, all-denim look.

Simi wore a cropped, sleeveless denim vest, with thin criss-cross lacing at the front left partially open, to reveal her baby bump. For the bottom, she wore an ultra-wide-leg, high-waisted jeans, that was low-slung beneath her bump, creating a draped, relaxed feel.

Her hair was styled in a textured pineapple updo, keeping the hair off her face and neck. Her makeup stayed within soft, earthy tones, a nude lip gloss.

Accessories were minimal, stud earrings and her wedding ring. She didn’t have any shoes on, she was barefoot.

Adekunle matched her in an oversized, boxy short-sleeved denim shirt. With a spread collar, silver-toned buttons, and a large patch pocket on the left chest and wide sleeves reaching towards the elbows. He paired it with relaxed, straight-leg denim jeans in the same shirt wash shade. It had vertical seam detailing running down the center of each leg. He wore a neatly groomed short beard and a faded haircut. Adekunle accessorized his look with silver hoop earrings, and he was also barefoot.

Anna Banner marked her second pregnancy with a three-part photo series. The shoot features multiple themes, from minimal styling to high-fashion looks.

For her first look, Anna wore a floor-length ivory maternity gown from Nelo Woman. The dress had a high neckline and was crafted from a lightweight, semi-sheer fabric that draped over her figure. Layered over the gown was a cape in a matching ivory shade. The dress had a long train. Her accessories included a gold bracelet on her left wrist and a simple ring on her finger. Anna’s makeup, done by Glowwithlilian was neutral-toned which included arched brows, soft-brown smoky eye and a matte nude-brown lip to finish. Banner’s hair was styled in a smooth, long straight look with a clean middle part to complement her outfit.

For the second look, Anna Banner transitioned into a bridal-inspired style. She wore a strapless white bodycon gown that highlighted her figure, flaring out at the knees into a mermaid-style hem filled with 3D purple, pink, and orange flowers.

A long, sheer cathedral-length veil was tucked into her sleek low bun, which was styled with a clean middle part. Her makeup consisted of a warm eyeshadow blend and a glossy nude lip. She accessorized her outfit with a gold bracelet and a simple ring, while her footwear remained hidden beneath the layers of floral tulle and billowing fabric.

Her final look of the series is centered on a graphic black-and-white polka dot theme. Anna Banner wore a halter-neck mermaid gown from Heiress Couture Nigeria that fit snugly to her shape, flowing into a multi-layered ruffled skirt at the bottom. The ruffles were edged with black-and-white stripes, adding a sharp contrast to the dots above.

She complemented her outfit with an oversized, matching polka dot fascinator from Scarlet Nigeria tilted to one side. Her hair styled by Hairssence was pulled back into a smooth low bun. Anna’s makeup featured a classic bold red lip and winged eyeliner. She accessorized the look with chunky white statement earrings and a gold bracelet.

Tems Says ‘It’s White O’ Clock’ at the 2026 BRITS Awards

Tems attended the 2026 BRITS Awards in a head-to-toe white look on 28 February. She didn’t just light up the red carpet; she also presented the International Artist of the Year award to Spanish pop star Rosalía.

The outfit balanced simplicity with dramatic detailing on the corset, with delicate lace trims and visible textural details, and a bandeau neckline. Off-shoulder sleeves added volume and extended outward, contrasting the fitted bodice, while the lower half flowed into layered lace with a front split, giving the dress a soft, graceful shape.

The all-white choice seemed deliberate. White often represents purity and virtue. For Tems, who has risen from a Nigerian star to a world music force, the colour felt symbolic. It reflected a new beginning and maturity. She did not rely on heavy colours or vibrant outfits. Instead, she allowed defined fabric and tailoring to speak.

Her hairstyle gave cultural weight to her look. It was styled by Dunsin Wright, where she wore three pigtail-thick braided woven loops, styled neatly to elevate her outfit. This hairstyle draws from distant African braiding traditions. The braids are seen as minimalist and protective, but for this look, they are expressive. On a global stage like the BRIT Awards, this choice subtly affirmed her Nigerian identity. It was a sight of her roots even in equipped fashion spaces.

Her makeup balanced it all with her dress. Deep ombre red glossy lips and defined smokey wing eyes added richness, preventing the white ensemble from feeling washed out. Statement earrings completed the look, adding sparkle without distraction.

Tems’ all-white look reflects the woman she has grown into. From Lagos to international stages as this one, she is fully aware of her place in the industry and mirrored her journey in a minimalistic all-white dress. It defined her authenticity and quiet power.
