Last night February 9, 2026, was the premiere of “Love and New Notes.” The theme was 80s inspired and these celebrities really came through with the looks. It felt like they went back in time but with better phones to take clearer pictures.

Sophie Alakija wore a red bodycon gown. The dress had star-shaped cutouts across it and the bottom had ruffles. She was styled in those old-school waves and she looked like who was featured in an 80s music video. Red really did own the colour red last night.

Omowunmi Dada

Omowunmi Dada something different. She opted for coordinated olive-yellow two-piece suit. The set features an oversized single-breasted blazer with peaked lapels and structured shoulders, paired with matching high-waisted, wide-leg trousers. Beneath it she wore a multicoloured scarf top which added a sharp contrast to the solid suit. She paired the outfit with pointed hot pink heels. Her hair was styled in soft retro waves. Omowunmi wore gold statement pieces and dark shades.

Eniola Badmus

Eniola Badmus combined traditional and retro elements in her outfit. She had on a white lace outfit with big puffy sleeves and topped it with a big white gele. Her makeup was simple but her accessories were not. Eniola wore gold jewelry layered on thick necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Funke Akindele

Funke Akindele wore a burgundy and beige mini gown. The outfit had a peplum style at the top with long sleeves and a square neckline. The bottom of the gown had tiered ruffles. She paired the fit with gele in the same material with a big bow detail that matched the look. She wore nude platform heels, accessories included a gold necklace and wristwatch. The vertical stripes on the outfit gave it a retro feel.

Chimezie Imo

Chimezie Imo wore a grey double-breasted suit with tailored shoulders and black shoes. He kept classic all through the way.

Timini

Timini, who produced the movie, chose a mustard yellow suit with a fitted cut, paired with a vintage burgundy patterned shirt, burgundy-accented glasses, and white shoes.

Efeirele

Efeirele took the theme personal literally. She wore a brown, tan, and cream plaid vintage suit. The blazer had sharp, padded shoulders and a fitted waist, worn over a crisp white collared shirt with a matching checkered necktie. The high-waisted maxi skirt came with a thigh-high slit that showed off a deep burgundy lining underneath. She cinched everything with a thin black belt. On her feet were pointed-toe pumps in champagne gold. But here’s where it got interesting she wore a matching checkered visor on top of a big auburn afro, black lace gloves, a black holster with a prop handgun strapped to her thigh.

Ego Nwosu

Ego Nwosu showed up in a black-and-red polka dot dress. The shoulders were huge. She had on long black gloves and red earrings. The entire look was playful but still well coordinated.

Prince Nelson Werem

Prince Nelson Werem looked like he raided his dad’s wardrobe from 1975 in a good way. Brown sweater vest, tan pants sitting high on the waist, and an afro that deserves its own mention. He posed with a vintage microphone.

Chioma Nwaoha

Chioma Nwaoha wrapped things up in a red sequin gown that was shining from every angle. She threw a white fur scarf over her shoulders, went platinum blonde with the hair, and wore silver heels.

With the 80s-inspired premier setting the tone, “Love and New Notes” will hit cinemas nationwide on February 13, 2026.

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.

Sharon Ooja attended the Lagos premiere of “19” in a sheer, ruffled leopard print gown. She captioned the post, “Giving leopard vibes.”

She wore a floor-length sheer leopard print dress with a high cutout at the front and ruffled layers falling all the way down to the floor. She used minimal accessories light: a pair of small hoop earrings and thin gold bangles on one wrist, plus a small black quilted clutch.

Her hair, styled by Adefunke, was pulled back into a low bun and wrapped in a matching leopard print headscarf. Sharon’s makeup was done by Annabel’s Glam in warm tones, with nude, glossy lips. She completed the look with black strappy heels laced up to her calf.

In her caption, Sharon explained why the night was important to her. She was there to support her best friend, Bisola Aiyeola, who stars in “19,” a crime drama written and directed by Tola Odunsi and distributed by Nile Entertainment. Sharon said she was proud of her and congratulated Tola Odunsi for bringing the story to the screen. “19” opens in cinemas nationwide this Friday, September 11.

Sharon also used the post to remind her followers that “Ordinary People,” the Netflix series she stars in alongside Ramsey Nouah, Adunni Ade, Chidi Mokeme, and Michelle Dede, is still streaming after its September 4 premiere.

She brought the same attention to detail to the “Ordinary People” premiere, where she wore a cream and white striped corset dress with a peplum waist and a bow tied above the hip.
