Wunmi Mosaku Honours African Heritage with Braided Hair and Bold Jewelry for Glamour UK Cover
Wunmi Mosaku appears on the latest cover of Glamour UK in a photo story that draws on African heritage through hair, jewellery, and clothing. The British-Nigerian actress, known for her roles in Lovecraft Country and the most nominated film in Oscar history, Sinners, is photographed in a series of portraits that highlight braided hairstyles and strong metal jewellery.
Ekua King captures Mosaku against warm studio tones that keep the focus on the clothes and hair. Her braids were styled by Dionne Smith, and shaped into six braided loops, two large loops at the top and two smaller ones at each side of her face, near the temples. The hairstyle draws from long-standing Yoruba braiding traditions, known as Irun Kiko, where hair is often styled in intricate patterns that carry cultural significance.

Creative stylist Georgia Medley presents Mosaku in a selection of textured garments paired with bold jewellery. In one portrait, she wears a wide white attire with long black earrings and a structured headpiece. Another image centres on a stacked metal neck ring known as Dzilla, which is worn close to the collarbone, a type of neck ring inspired by similar styles found in multiple cultural traditions, including the Ndebele and Kayan peoples.

The editorial also moves through darker and brighter tones, where other portraits show Mosaku in a sheer black dress that falls loosely over the body, creating a light layered shape. In another full-length image, she wears a lime green hooded robe with a high slit that reveals one leg as she stands barefoot on an earth-toned set. Thick gold bangles line her forearms while the fabric hangs freely around the body.

Set designer Joshua Stovell keeps the background simple with clay-coloured ground and soft walls, allowing the materials like fabric, braids, and metal to stand out.
Makeup artist Joy Adenuga keeps Mosaku’s skin smooth with a deep lip colour that gives the portraits a strong finish. Nail artist Tinu Bello completes the beauty details with dark burgundy nails that work well with the gold jewellery and warm tones used across the shoot.
The shoot was produced in London by Raw Production under the editorial direction of Kemi-Olivia Alemoru. Behind-the-scenes footage was filmed by Nathaniel Rodriguez and edited by Celia Gomez.
Across the images, braids and metal jewellery act as cultural markers, linking the fashion story to traditions that have long shaped African identity.

Bimbo Ademoye Just Turned a Hair Extension Into the Chicest Tie Detail
Bimbo Ademoye often experiment with styles, and her latest fashion style felt like it was made for its own applause. Known for her infectious energy and on-screen versatility, Nollywood star just proved that when it comes to style, she sets her own direction, shown in her recurring preference for corseted pieces.
She wore a sharp, burgundy power suit, Bimbo could have easily gone for a conventional silk necktie or a statement necklace. Instead of that, she went for a braided hair extension.

Ademoye wore a structured, single-breasted blazer from Mimmikasu, with sharp lapels and padded shoulders that was sharply tailored to her frame. Bimbo paired it with matching high-waisted, straight-leg tailored trousers that created a seamless line.
Underneath the blazer she wore a crisp white button-down shirt. The key detail of her outfit was her necktie, a thick, neatly three-strand braided hair extension in a matching wine-red shade, tucked under the collar.

While Bimbo’s hair was styled in a blunt-cut bob with a sharp middle part, her makeup featured defined, arched brows, neutral eyeshadow, and a glossy lip that complemented the bold tones of her suit.
For accessories, she carried a structured top-handle satchel in an off-white and black snakeskin print from Winston Leather sporting oversized, gold wire-framed aviator-style clear glasses. Her outfit was completed with classic black pointed-toe heels.

Back in February, she was in a dark brown leather jacket, white fitted skirt, knee-high boots, and a red Lady Dior bag, giving every bit of a cool girl feel. Now she’s in a tailored suit with a braided tie. Different looks, same Bimbo.

Chinenye Nnebe Goes All In on Yellow
“May your day be as bright as these pictures” Chinenye Nnebe says in her latest Instagram post.

She wore a pale yellow short-suit that balanced structure with ease. The oversized blazer had a sharp, padded shoulders and a single black button. Instead of trousers, she paired it with matching wide-leg bermuda shorts cut just above the knee. By wearing the blazer without a top underneath, she created a deep neckline that draws focus to her jewelry. Her hair was styled in a jet-black, chin-length bob with a straight middle part that framed her face. She wore natural makeup with warm earthy tones, and a nude lip.

Her accessories are where she played with contrast. She layered chunky white pearls in varying lengths, filling the open neckline. To offset the tailoring, she added a yellow LA Dodgers baseball cap. She added white cat-eye sunglasses and a yellow mini-handbag. For her feet, she chose pointed-toe white slingback heels that complements her pearls and glasses.

What sets this apart is the unexpected pairings that work. A baseball cap with a tailored blazer set, Bermuda shorts with heels, and layered pearls. Its a different direction from her all-black look she wore on February 12, where she leaned into a darker, sharper shade in a black blazer, wide-leg trousers, a fedora, and a quilted Chanel bag.This yellow outfit is brighter and more playful, but both look reply on the same confident styling approach.
