If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that Ebuka Obi-Uchendu does not play when it comes to fashion. Whether he’s hosting on-screen, walking the red carpet, or just showing up in a city near you—Ebuka knows how to make an entrance.
Now imagine him taking that style energy across four major European capitals. That’s right—Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Brussels all got a taste of the Ebuka effect. Each city, a whole different vibe. Each stop, a new slay.
Four countries, four capitals, and four very distinct looks that somehow all scream Ebuka.
Check them out below and see how one man managed to keep it fresh, fierce, and absolutely fashion-forward from Germany to Belgium.
Let’s talk about #JP2025 — because wow, what a day! When Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux came together to celebrate love, they didn’t just throw a ceremony. They gave us a full-blown fashion fest, and honestly, we’re still not over it.

What made it extra special was the mix of cultures and styles. Some guests went bold and modern, others kept it classy and elegant, and some found the perfect blend of both. It was beautiful to see how fashion became part of the celebration, adding even more joy to an already unforgettable day.

If there’s anyone who knows how to turn style into a statement, it’s A$AP Rocky. For Vogue’s May 2025 Met Gala issue, he’s the man of the moment—and rightfully so. Fresh off a major court case where he was found not guilty, Rocky is back, relaxed, and refocused. And where better to shoot his big comeback cover than Harlem—his hometown, his roots, his vibe.
A Harlem Story

The cover shoot takes place in a beautiful church in Harlem, right across from Langston Hughes’ old brownstone. It’s full of meaning, history, and style. Rocky pulls up with old-school Louis Vuitton trunks, custom coats, and yes—even a candle lit to set the mood. What makes it even more special? He shares the moment with his grandmother, Cathy, who sits next to him in a red suit and pearls. It’s all love, all Harlem, all Rocky.
Life After the Trial

He’s recording music in a cozy Soho House suite turned mini-studio, but still makes space for the people he loves—his sons, RZA and Riot, and of course, Rihanna. He’s sipping chamomile tea, chatting with friends, and reflecting on how the trial reminded him to focus on what truly matters.
“I love people,” he says, with calm confidence. And honestly? You can feel it. Everyone around him seems genuinely happy to be in his space.

Oh, and did we mention? Rocky is one of the co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala. When asked about it, he simply says, “Who else?” with a smirk. Fashion runs deep for him—not just the clothes, but the culture. From pearls to kilts, Rocky’s style has always been bold. But to him, it’s just normal Harlem stuff. “We showed y’all how to do this,” he says, speaking for the whole neighborhood.
He’s especially excited about this year’s exhibit—“Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”—because it’s about time the world paid attention to the legacy of Black fashion.
One of the sweetest parts of the story? Seeing Rocky as a father. He lights up when he talks about his kids and says his love for Rihanna is “internal, external, infinite.” Grandma Cathy agrees—she thinks Rihanna is the real deal, and she couldn’t be prouder of Rocky’s journey.
He’s gone from Harlem kid to global icon, but family still comes first. “I got to see love growing up,” he says. “Now I’m giving it.”
The first Symphony of Threads collection by She by Bena was a quiet reminder that elegance can be simple and powerful. It was soft, graceful, and full of meaning—just like music. Now, the journey continues with Symphony of Threads II: A Kente Story, and this time, the focus is on something deeply rooted in our culture: Kente.
But this isn’t the traditional Kente we’re used to. She by Bena has reimagined it—making it light, soft, and full of movement. Each piece flows beautifully, blending tradition with modern design. The colors sing, the patterns speak, and the shapes move like a gentle rhythm.

Every outfit is carefully made, with love and purpose. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling seen, strong, and stylish.
She by Bena reminds us that every thread matters.
And when woven together, they create something truly beautiful.
This stunning piece lives up to its name—Melody. It flows like music, every detail carefully placed like notes in a song.
The dress is crafted from vibrant yellow Kente with a rich geometric pattern that forms the base of the look. Yellow, often seen as a symbol of joy and energy, immediately brings warmth and brightness to the piece. At the lower half of the dress, a soft gradient of turquoise blue peeks through the Kente, adding depth and visual harmony.
But what truly sets Melody apart is the striking blend of textures. A vivid magenta beaded bustier draws the eye to the upper body, adding a modern edge and sparkle. The beading continues with delicate strings that drape gracefully over the shoulders, creating soft movement and elegance.
The lower half of the dress features intricate magenta floral embroidery that climbs upward like blooming vines. These details aren’t just decorative—they represent growth, strength, and beauty. The embroidery is bold but refined, balancing the energy of the yellow Kente with a romantic twist.
With a structured silhouette that hugs the body and a sweetheart neckline that flatters effortlessly, Melody is both bold and feminine. The overall look is regal, graceful, and celebratory—perfect for the woman who wants to shine while staying connected to her roots.
True to its name, Cadence is all about rhythm, flow, and grace. This look is a perfect harmony of structure and softness, bold tradition and modern flair.
Dressed in rich teal tones, the gown plays with patterns and textures that move like music. The corset-style top is detailed with vertical beading that draws the eye upward, creating a sleek and elegant silhouette. The neckline is daring yet refined, while delicate straps hold everything together with quiet confidence.
One standout detail is the large, sculpted rose on the shoulder. It’s a bold statement piece—soft yet strong, like a dramatic pause in a musical score that makes everything feel more alive.
The body of the dress features a basket-weave effect made with Kente, showing off the designer’s eye for craftsmanship and innovation. As the dress flows downward, it transforms into a striking mermaid tail with a long train made from classic Kente motifs, blending earthy tones of gold and brown into the teal base.
What makes Cadence truly beautiful is its balance. It’s structured, yet fluid. Modern, yet deeply rooted in culture. It walks the fine line between regal and romantic, making it ideal for the woman who wants to feel powerful and graceful all at once.
With Cadence, every detail moves in rhythm—and every step feels like a dance.
For the Real Housewives of Lagos Season 3 Reunion, Mariam Adeyemi Timmer did not come to play—she came to conquer. Dressed like royalty reincarnated, this look is drama, opulence, and femininity all wrapped into one unapologetically loud statement.
The Dress
At first glance, you’re hit with that “wow” factor. The dress is a sculpted dream in lush lavender and regal purple—an absolutely daring choice that works. The bodice is corseted with a heart-shaped bustline made of rich purple beading, forming a structured and intricate centrepiece that draws the eye inward. The sheer panel under the bust? Risky—but done right. It gives illusion and just the right amount of tease without crossing into tacky.
Then there’s that dramatic train and puffed sleeves—oh, the sleeves! They’re not for the faint-hearted. Made with what looks like glossy satin in a soft, radiant lilac, they give major haute couture vibes.
The gown’s body is beaded in this geometric fan-like pattern, almost like the inside of a seashell, flowing seamlessly into a waterfall of beading down the length. It cinches her waist and elongates her figure. Very flattering, very deliberate.
Hair & Makeup
Let’s talk glam. That sculpted high bun is slick, elegant, and doesn’t distract. Her makeup? Flawless. Brows snatched, eyes smoky with just enough shimmer, and the nude lip ties it all together. This is a woman who understands balance—let the dress talk, while the glam whispers.
She kept it classy with a diamond necklace and earrings, which work beautifully against the neckline. Nothing is overdone. She knows the gown is already speaking volumes.
Mariam gave us a fashion moment, not just an outfit. She came dressed like a queen at the Met Gala of Nigerian reality TV, and honestly, she nailed it. It’s not your everyday look, and it’s not supposed to be. This is what reunion fashion should feel like: intentional, regal, and fearless.
If we’re being completely honest? Some may say the sleeves are a bit much or the beading borders on costume-y—but isn’t that the point? This is Real Housewives, not a brunch date.
If you know anything about Adeola Adeyemi, also known as Diiadem, you know she never does anything halfway—especially not her birthday. This year, she pulled out all the stops and blessed our timelines with a show-stopping birthday look that has everyone talking.
First of all… that color!
Hot pink. Bright, bold, unapologetic pink. It’s the kind of color that demands attention—and Diiadem wore it like it was made just for her. Pink is playful, it’s powerful, it’s feminine, and it screams “I’m the moment.” On her, it looked like confidence, joy, and main character energy all wrapped in one.
This wasn’t your average birthday dress. No, this was a gown. Layers and layers of soft, cloud-like tulle created that beautiful full skirt with a dramatic high-low cut—short in front to show off her legs, long in the back with a dreamy train that followed her like royalty. You know those dresses that look like they’re floating when you move? Yeah, it was giving magic.
And can we talk about the bodice? It was fitted just right, hugging her waist and giving structure to all that softness. So chic.
The way the ruffles were layered? Absolutely stunning. It gave the whole dress movement, texture, and that wow factor. Every time she moved, it looked like the dress was dancing with her. And don’t even get me started on that train—it was giving red carpet, Met Gala, fashion fantasy realness.
She kept the glam soft—and it worked perfectly.
Diiadem knew the dress was the main event, so she kept everything else elegant and simple. Her soft curls, minimal jewelry, and matching pink heels tied everything together without taking attention away from the look. It was the perfect balance: bold but classy.
What I love most about this look is that it wasn’t just about slaying (though she definitely did that). It was a celebration of how far she’s come. In her own words, she talked about starting out shy and growing into the woman she is now. That dress? It represented all of that—strength, beauty, and evolution.
Diiadem didn’t just wear a birthday outfit. She gave us a whole moment. It was fun, fearless, feminine, and unforgettable. A dress like that doesn’t just sit quietly in the background—it speaks, and what it said was: “I’ve arrived, and I’m owning every second of it.”
Honestly? I’m here for it. What did you think of the look?
Let’s talk about it. For the longest time, the bubu—or “boubou,” as it’s also called—has been considered a women’s garment. Flowing, breezy, often bold and colorful, the bubu has been a staple in many African women’s wardrobes for generations. But now, men are stepping into that space, and honestly, we love to see it.
Just look at Neo Akpofure. The reality star and fashion icon recently turned heads when he rocked a bubu outfit outside Maison Boulangerie in Lagos. But this wasn’t just any outfit—it was a statement. A loud, vibrant, fashion-forward statement that said: “Yes, I’m a man. Yes, I’m wearing a bubu. And yes, I look good.”
Neo’s bubu wasn’t shy at all. It played with patchwork prints, bold patterns, and colors that would make anyone stop and stare. Paired with yellow and blue sneakers, dark shades, and a green crossbody bag, the entire look screamed confidence. And that’s the thing—when you wear something traditionally seen as feminine, you’re not just wearing fabric, you’re making a point. You’re challenging norms, questioning gendered fashion, and paving the way for other men to feel free in what they wear.
We’re living in a time where fashion is no longer confined by gender, and it’s exciting to witness this shift happening in African style too. The bubu, with its rich cultural heritage and effortless elegance, is for everyone. And it’s about time men embrace that too.
Neo’s look says a lot without him saying a word. It says fashion should be fearless. It says wear what makes you feel powerful. And most importantly, it says African men can wear bubu and still serve drip.
So let’s open our minds and wardrobes. The bubu is here to stay—for him, her, and everyone in between.

The lighting is carefully crafted to add a moody, noir-inspired vibe to the shoot, drawing you into a world of dramatic tension and unspoken desire. The shadows and light don’t just create a beautiful picture—they tell a story of longing and ambition.
While it’s deeply inspired by the vintage glamour of Gatsby’s world, it speaks through a modern lens. The mix of light and dark, the play of shadows, and the luxurious fashion all come together to create something that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. It’s a celebration of the timeless appeal of luxury, beauty, and the pursuit of something more—whether it’s wealth, love, or simply a better life.

There’s something powerful about the way Adeola Adeyemi, also known as Diiadem, carried herself throughout 12 episodes of The Real Housewives of Lagos Season 3. Her fashion wasn’t just about looking good—it was about making a statement without saying a word. And that’s the kind of style that sticks with you.
Every time she stepped into a scene, it wasn’t about wearing the loudest or flashiest outfit. It was about knowing exactly what worked for her and owning it with confidence. That’s what real style is. It’s not about chasing trends or trying too hard to impress—it’s about wearing your personality like a second skin. And Diiadem did that flawlessly.
Her fashion choices weren’t just outfits; they were moments. You could see the intention behind every look, the quiet confidence in how she carried herself. She didn’t need to scream for attention—it just naturally gravitated towards her. And that’s what separates true style from just throwing on expensive clothes. It’s about the energy, the attitude, and the understanding that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is simply show up looking like you own the room.
Now, as we gear up for the reunion, one big question remains—what will Diiadem wear? If her looks throughout the season were anything to go by, then we know one thing for sure: she’s going to deliver. But how? Will it be something bold and unexpected? Or will she stick to the effortless elegance that made her stand out all season? One thing’s certain—when she walks in, all eyes will be on her. And that’s exactly the way it should be.
