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.

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.

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.

Sharon Ooja was at TVC Communications to talk about “Ordinary People”, the new Netflix series that premiered on September 4. For the visit, she wore a short red dress with velvet patches.

The dress was from loveladybiba. It came with a zip-down at the front, a fitted waist and a flared shape over the hips, the dress stopped above her knees. Dark red velvet patches covered the shoulders and the hem, while the rest of the dress remained plain red.

She accessorized with a small red quilted handbag with gold hardware and wore glossy red peep-toe heels. Her jewellery was simple, just gold earrings and a few rings.

Her hair was done by Solange Hair Stores in loose waves that fell past her shoulders. Her makeup, by annabelsglam, had warm tones on the eyes and a soft lip colour.

“Ordinary People” is an eight-episode series directed by Moses Inwang. It follows a criminal on the run and his wife, who pose as bakers in Mirage Estate, a gated community where their neighbours are undercover agents. Sharon stars alongside Ramsey Nouah, Chidi Mokeme, Adunni Ade, Uche Montana and Jackie Appiah. On Instagram, she said the cast enjoyed a warm welcome, interviews and radio sessions at TVC, and she thanked fans for the love so far. The series is still showing on Netflix and Nollyflix.

A few days ago, she arrived at Channels TV in a khaki crop suit by Bfyne. The blazer had fringe on one shoulder, and the high-waisted wide-leg trousers matched it. She wore black pointed heels, carried a black quilted handbag and added large gold earrings, with her hair in loose crimped waves. The suit was a calmer colour than the red she wore to TVC.

Tems and Kim Kardashian posed together at the celebration for SKIMS‘ new flagship store on Regent Street in London on September 18, 2026.

Tems wore a black strapless dress with a thin beaded trim across the top and a skirt that fell straight down to her ankles. She wore her hair in a half-up curly style, added drop earrings and a bracelet, and wore a dark plum lip colour.

While on the other hand, Kim wore a chocolate brown leather dress with a corset-style top and lace-up detail running down one side of the skirt. Grommets lined the opening diagonally, and the dress was fitted at the waist. Tems’ dress stayed flat through the fabric, while Kim’s had more structure built into the top half, with the leather giving it a harder texture than the soft material Tems wore.

Here, the two dresses appeared together without clashing. Both women kept their outfits dark and fitted, with no bright colour or print in either look.

The photos were taken at the opening of SKIMS’ first flagship store outside the United States, a two-floor space designed by Rafael de Cárdenas that included a large sculpture by artist Vanessa Beecroft near the entrance. Kim co-founded SKIMS with Jens Grede in 2019, and the London store opened during London Fashion Week on a ten-year lease with the Crown Estate. Guests were served cocktails and food, with a DJ set from model Kim Turnbull before a private dinner later in the night.

Tems was among the guests at the event, along with other names from music and fashion, including Central Cee, Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Ellie Bamber, and designer Kim Jones. SKIMS has said it plans to open more than 100 stores worldwide by 2027.
