Venita Akpofure has been exploring the sights and sounds of South Africa, giving fans a glimpse of her adventures from Cape Town’s vibrant nightlife to the colourful, historic streets of Bo-Kaap and the Zeitz MOCAA. Just when it seemed she might be winding down, Venita posted again, sharing a picture in a leopard-print swimsuit with the caption, “A golden fish can never hide.” The hashtags hint that if she posts more, her followers might just be left in tears and she might have a point.

She wore a leopard-print one-piece monokini. The swimsuit has a classic brown and black leopard pattern on a tan background. It has a scoop neckline and a high-cut leg design that rests above the hip bone and emphasizes a V shape.

Venita accessorized her look with multiple waist beads layered around her waist, including a thicker strand of white beads and a delicate gold-toned metallic strand, adding a touch of gold against her skin. She also wore simple stud earrings and when paired with Venita’s bold leopard-print swimsuit, they highlighted her waist.

Her hair was styled in long bohemian curls with honey-blonde and light brown ombre highlights running through darker roots.

Venita’s makeup was done in a soft-glam look focused on earthy tones, warm tones, well-defined arched brows, neutral smoky eye, and a nude lip.

On March 10, 2026, Mercy Eke stepped out in a visually striking outfit and she captioned it with “Doing the least, but somehow it’s still doing the most” and the caption said everything.

Mercy wore a long-sleeved bodycon mini gown featuring a colourful celestial-inspired graphic print from Lale Season. The dress has a turtleneck that creates a smooth shape. The print transitions from a yellow and orange sun motif on the chest to deep blue night sky pattern near the hem. The sleeves has a multi-coloured design with hints of floral details.

The fabric had a slight sheen. The turtleneck neckline gave the top half a defined shape while the rest of the dress stayed fitted all the way to mid-thigh. Pairing long sleeves with a mini this short can be difficult to style but the proportions worked here. The length sat just at mid-thigh and the outfit created a clear, balanced proportion.

For footwear she wore black strappy heeled sandals with gold hardware at the toe and ankle. The shoes complemented the dress without drawing focus. A single gold bracelet and on her wrist and simple earrings was the only jewellery on display.

Her hair was styled long and wavy with a middle part, sitting past her shoulders. Her makeup was classic full-glam, complementing her features.

Mercy often chooses standout pieces. She picks statement-making pieces and wears them without dialing anything down. This dress was bold from every angle.

Ahead of the Oscars, Vanity Fair’s Vanities Party for Young Hollywood took place at Bar Marmont in Los Angeles. Among those in attendance was Ayra Starr, who appeared in an emerald-green outfit from Cult Gaia’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

She wore the Rylee Jacket, wrapped in textured floral jacquard, with a hidden front clip at the waist that formed a V-shaped neckline. The rippled surface of the fabric added dimension, while the wide funnel sleeves extended outward instead of tapering at the wrists, giving the jacket a defined shape.

The Honor Skirt ended well above the mid-thigh, creating a clear contrast with the jacket’s volume while maintaining a tailored silhouette. The fabric carries a soft metallic finish that explores sculptural shapes and references to ancient mythology.

She wore a nude pointed heel from Christian Louboutin that elongated her leg line without drawing focus from the outfit. She carried a crystal clutch, fully covered in crystals and finished with a slim metallic top handle, held at her side to complement the textures of her clothing.

Her hair was styled into a full bun with a few loose strands framing her face and shoulders, softening the structured lines of the jacket. Her makeup was done by Kimora, who used neutral tones, subtle contouring, and a muted lip designed to harmonize with the green palette of her outfit.

Kelly Karamoh coordinated the look, arranging the jacket, skirt, shoes, and clutch that emphasized proportion, texture, and metallic details.

The oversized sleeves, fitted mini skirt, crystal clutch, and neutral heels highlighted the outfit’s different shapes and textures.
