What the Stars Wore to the 80s Inspired “Love and New Notes” Premiere
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.

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.

Akin Faminu’s Funky Colour Combination Is Hard to Ignore
Akin Faminu knows exactly who he is when it comes to style, and that clarity shows in everything he wears. His latest shoot, captioned “Matcha” and photographed by Kimilokan, is proof of that.
He wore an oversized, single-breasted blazer from Cruxin a bright chartreuse with a distinct, heavy textured weave, structured shoulders and wide lapels. He paired it with oversized, wide-leg trousers in an olive-to-forest green gradient. The pants featured ripped detailing near the thighs and a contrasting pattern around the hem.

His accessories included a leather duffle bag in glossy, bright Kelly green featuring dual handles and front utility pockets, also from Crux.xyz. A metallic gold brooch shaped like a hand was pinned to the right lapel of the blazer. He added round dark-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame, a thin choker-style necklace, and multiple rings. He completed the look with rounded-toe platform shoes that mirror the bright lime yellow of the blazer, peeking out from beneath the wide trouser hems.

It has been a busy year for Faminu personally too. He married Kiky Festus in April this year. He was also at Ojude Oba 2026 last week, wearing a layered Aso-Oke look in rich wine, gold and blue tones that many people could not stop sharing. A full year by any measure, and his style has kept up with every moment of it
His tailored shoot for Deji and Kola shows the other side of his personal style entirely. Burgundy and navy blazer, cream trousers, dark loafers from Adamskahz, and a tan leather briefcase from Deji and Kola. Quiet, sharp, and just as considered.

Dabota Lawson’s Italian Getaway Is a Vintage Fashion Dream Come to Life
Dabota Lawson celebrated her birthday on June 2nd in Positano, Italy, with a series of birthday photographs which she captioned “Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. I wish you all of God’s choicest blessings. Cheers to an iconic year.”
Positano is one of the most photographed places in the world, with its pastel buildings climbing up the cliffs and the Mediterranean stretching out below.

Photo: Instagram
Lawson was photographed wearing a pristine white bodycon dress with a ruched torso, soft hip folds and an asymmetric draped off-the-shoulder neckline.
For accessories, Dabota wore a vintage-style headscarf tied under the chin which had a bold black-and-white border design, paired with white-rimmed square sunglasses with dark lenses. She carried an elongated leather clutch in a vibrant pastel yellow. For jewellery, she wore a silver bracelet and a wristwatch on her right wrist.

Photo: Instagram
Her makeup consisted of defined brows, warm earthy tones and a nude lip. Lawson wrapped up her look with silver open-toe stiletto heeled sandals with a criss-cross strap design.

Back in May, Dabota was seen in a white blazer suit with crystal detailing on the shoulders and cuffs for the launch of her Dabota Cosmetics store. That look was tailored and formal. This one is looser, relaxed and vacation-ready.

Chioma Ikokwu Just Gave Us the Ultimate Lesson in French Riviera Chic
If you have been a fan of Chioma Ikokwu on Instagram, you already know that dressing well is something she takes seriously. The Good Hair Ltd CEO and Real Housewives of Lagos star posted some photos on her Instagram from her visit to Èze, a hilltop village on the French Riviera, with the caption: “Somewhere between the sea and the sky, deep in the South, lies a little piece of magic called Èze.”

Photo: Instagram
Chioma wore a white, short-sleeved cotton shirt dress from Celine with a buttoned collar, button-down front and a crystal-encrusted monogram on the left chest pocket. The dress featured a pleated, midi-length skirt and was cinched at the waist with a thin white belt finished with a gold buckle.

Photo: Instagram
Her accessories included a wide-brimmed woven straw hat with a pearl trim attached to the brim. She carried the Celine Mini Triomphe Classic Panier bag with a tan leather top handle and a leather logo patch on the front. She also carried a traditional white paper and bamboo parasol in her right hand. For jewellery, she wore gold earrings and layered metallic bracelets.
Ikokwu completed the outfit with pointed-toe white slingback kitten heels featuring a fishnet overlay across the front. Her beauty look included a smokey eye and a glossy nude-pink lip.

Photo: Instagram
Back in April, Chioma hosted her Chioma’s Closet pop-up in a mint green tweed halterneck jumpsuit with a deep V-neckline and wide-leg trousers with green fringe at the hem. Next to the Èze photos, the difference were clear. She switched between a relaxed, easygoing style and a super chic, minimalist look. Chioma definitely cares about her clothes.
