Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux got married yesterday in a beautiful traditional Yoruba ceremony, and it was everything you would expect and more. If you have ever been to a Yoruba wedding, you know it is not just about two people coming together. It is a full celebration of love, family, culture and, of course, fashion. Everyone came ready to shine. The women wore colourful and well-crafted aso-ebi looks with matching geles, while the men showed up in neatly tailored agbadas and fila. But all of that is incomplete without the “big aunty looks”. Styled in rich fabrics, soft silk, and bold colours, your favourite big aunties celebrities had all eyes on them. It was all about looking good, representing culture and age in the best way, and they did not hold back. Each look was carefully planned and beautifully finished. See the stunning looks:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi (@toyin_abraham)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Ruth Kadiri Ezerika (@ruthkadiri)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by MERCY AIGBE ADEOTI (@realmercyaigbe)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared […] The post From Toyin Abraham to Shaffy Bello, See How Rich Aunties Showed Up for Priscilla Ojo’s Traditional Wedding appeared first on BN Style.

You can never go wrong with a classic bùbá and ìró. And when it’s styled with a well-tied gele and a carefully placed ipele, it’s a look that always stands strong, timeless, bold, and rich with culture. We see this with Mercy Aigbe‘s look at Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s traditional wedding celebration, Her first look was the olive green lace aso-ebi worn by many of the ladies, styled as a flowing gown. The bodice had a gradient effect, starting with lime green at the top and fading into a soft beige at the waist. The skirt was draped with soft gathers in front, adding volume and movement. To complete the green look, she wore a bright orange clutch. Her jewellery included drop earrings and stacked bracelets, and her perfect facebeat brought it all together.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by MERCY AIGBE ADEOTI (@realmercyaigbe) For her second look, Mercy Aigbe stepped out in a pink lace bùbá and ìró, fully adorned with floral embroidery in silver, pink and gold accents. She kept it monochrome with a pink gele and a matching ipele. We absolutely love the multicoloured clutch purse she paired it with. She could be gunning for monochrome, but […] The post How Do You Serve Drama in Pink and Green? We’re Taking Notes From Mercy Aigbe-Adeoti appeared first on BN Style.

Earlier this week, Priscilla Ojo’s bridal crew gave us a beautiful preview of what was to come with the bridesmaids stepping out in mini Ankara and Kitenge dresses, and the internet could not stop talking about the looks. It was the perfect mix of tradition and playfulness, and it got everyone wondering what the final bridesmaid look would be.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Style (@bellanaijastyle) As the days went by and the excitement grew, fans and fashion lovers tried to guess the colour and theme for the main event. Would they go bold? Would they keep it traditional? Or would it be something completely unexpected? Then the big day arrived, and the bridesmaids did not disappoint. They showed up looking like real-life dolls in soft pink gowns, styled to perfection from head to toe. The theme was clear: Barbie-inspired elegance with a touch of Yoruba charm. The dresses were sweet, stylish, and full of personality. They moved with grace and carried the look so well, adding extra sparkle to Priscilla’s special day. Here are the beautiful outfits they wore. Take a look and let us know which one is your favourite.   […] The post Pretty in Pink: Priscilla Ojo’s Bridesmaids Brought the Barbie Vibes appeared first on BN Style.

If there’s one thing we’re taking away from Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux‘s (now Mr and Mrs Mkambala) traditional wedding, it is that the guest did come to serve style. And serve they did. Yesterday, we spotted the aso-ebi ladies who showed up in style. Today, let’s shift the focus to the mendem – dapper men stepping out in their finest to celebrate the couple.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Style (@bellanaijastyle)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Vawulence headquarters MADAM ELEKTRA (@alvinoflagos__official)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Adeoluwa Prince Enioluwa (@enioluwaofficial)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Abiri Tobi Festus (@folagade_banks)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Steve Chuks (@stevechuks_)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Bankole samuel (@samuel_banks21)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Tobe Ugeh (@tobeszn)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by THE LOVE DOCTOR (@joroolumofin)   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by 𝑴𝒖𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒌 (@king_mubarak_20)     View this post […] The post Mendem!

If you thought Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s first look for their traditional wedding was a showstopper, wait till you see their second look. The celebration is still in full swing, and the couple have returned in a whole new wave of wow. For their second outfit, Priscilla and Juma are giving us rich shades of red and green – and it’s nothing short of stunning.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Africa’s Top Wedding Website (@bellanaijaweddings) Priscilla is dressed in a silver lace gown that sparkles from head to toe. The bodice features a deep V neckline and is covered in shimmering crystals, beads, and sequins arranged in patterns that catch hints of red, green, blue, pink, and white. The long sleeves and shoulders are just as decked out, with textured appliqués adding more drama. Her skirt continues the shimmer story with a scale-like pattern and more embellishments that tie it all together. She finishes the look with a maroon gele, a matching clutch, a maroon ipele draped over one hand, and layers of jewellery picking up the same deep tones.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Priscilla Ajoke Ojo (@its.priscy) Juma Jux […] The post Meet Mr & Mrs Mkambala!

The wedding of the year is underway, and Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux are giving us a lot to talk about. While we’ve shared looks from the aso-ebi ladies and bride’s mother, let’s take a moment to take in the stunning first look of the bride and groom. If anyone could wear pink, orange and purple so elegantly, it’s definitely this couple. Both are dressed in the traditional Yoruba aso-oke attire. The bride (Priscilla Ojo) is wearing a beaded dress with ruffled layers at the hem. Her accessories are minimal, choosing a diamond necklace for a clean, polished look. Juma Jux might be Tanzanian, but an agbada sure looks good on him. The front is detailed with embellishments in orange and touches of gold embroidered down to the hem. This look is complemented by long beads around his neck. His purple staff is symbolic. With it bearing the carved map of Africa, Juma Jux seems to be paying homage to a love that transcends countries, symbolising the union between two African countries; Nigeria and Tanzania. Like the designer described, “this look is a statement in power, poise and precision.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by […] The post #JP2025: Get The First Look at Priscilla & Juma Jux’s Traditional Wedding Outfit appeared first on BN Style.

If “birthday behaviour” had a location, it just might be Habitas AlUla. Fashion designer Sandrah Tubobereni celebrated her last birthday with a dreamy escape to Saudi Arabia’s desert gem, and she did it in the most stylish way possible. From sunrise lounging to golden-hour glam, the trip is serving luxury, leisure, and body goals in one perfectly curated photo dump. Little wonder she hoarded photos for so long. Let’s be honest, Tubo never misses when it comes to fashion. But this time, she’s adding travel girlie to her résumé. Her vacation wardrobe? Tubo woman! And, of course, easy glam and skin that’s absolutely thriving under the AlUla sun. Every look is a reminder that rest and luxury can co-exist — and should.   And here’s the fun twist. Priscilla Ojo also spent her birthday at Habitas Alula earlier this year. Coincidence? Or are the girls quietly naming this the new “it” spot for birthday getaways?   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Priscilla Ajoke Ojo (@its.priscy) We’re starting to think that this desert oasis might just be the ultimate destination for 2025 birthday baddies.

Earlier this year, we declared it loud and clear: 2025 is the year of the pixie cut. From Ayra Starr’s edgy, textured take to Kim Oprah’s sleek, sculpted version, the short crop has been everywhere. It’s bold, stylish, and impossible to ignore. But just when we thought we had seen all the ways this trend could show up, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as BamBam, entered the chat with a pixie cut so soft, so striking, that we had to pause and take it all in. Known for her beauty and often described as a walking ode to peak femininity, Bam Bam actress, and star of the hit romance film Love In Every Word,  just debuted a fresh pixie cut,  by hairstylist Faith Alex, that’s turning heads across the timeline.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Beauty (@bellanaijabeauty) What makes BamBam’s version of the pixie so powerful is the way she wears it without losing an ounce of her signature softness. Rocking a short crop that’s often tagged as edgy or boyish, and still radiating the same romantic energy we know her for. It’s proof that femininity doesn’t come from length, curls, or coquette aesthetics. […] The post Did BamBam Just Give the Pixie Cut a Feminine Twist? appeared first on BN Style.

Basketball star, Okikiola “Kiki” Iriafen made a statement both with her achievement and her attire at the WNBA draft. Kiki was the number four overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Washington Mystics, and that’s such a huge deal. The Stanford women’s basketball alumnus celebrated this significant accomplishment in style. For the occasion, she wore a custom-made gold and brown beaded, sequined dress with a thigh-high slit. Designed by Nigerian designer Nneka Alexandra (Brides By Nona), the dress evoked the style of aso-ebi or bridal wear, serving as a homage to Kiki’s Nigerian roots. @kikiiriafen SNATCHEDDDD!! #fyp #draft #wnba #kikiiriafen #nyc #naijatiktok @BridesbyNona ♬ original sound – Brown Street Speaking to ESPN, Kiki discussed her choice to represent her heritage on this significant stage: “It’s been a few months in the making, but I knew I really wanted to have my Nigerian culture incorporated in some way… I really wanted to showcase my culture on this stage.

Textured hair care brand Bread Beauty Supply has officially been acquired by Cost of Doing Business (CODB), the newly formed holding company founded by Topicals CEO Olamide Olowe the youngest black woman to raise $10 million funding and President Sochi Mbadugha. CODB will now oversee operations at Bread, supporting the brand’s next phase of expansion while serving as strategic advisors. For those familiar with the creative flair behind both companies — from Topicals’ standout campaigns to Bread’s irreverent tone and trademarked “Scalp Thingy” massager — the partnership feels like a natural next step. It’s also a powerful one, marking one of the first acquisitions by CODB. “Typically when a Black-owned business gets acquired, so many things are changed and altered in a way that isn’t serving our community,” Olowe tells ESSENCE exclusively. That reality makes this acquisition especially meaningful for Bread founder Maeva Heim. “They understand what it takes to build a generational defining brand in this market and I can’t wait to see where they want to take the brand,” she shares. And true to fashion, CODB Holdings has maintained the brand’s DNA and mixed with the brilliance of Topical’s Campaigns as this is seen in a new campaign,  A […] The post Bread Beauty Supply Joins New Holding Company Led by Topicals CEO Olamide Olowe appeared first on BN Style.

In a major shake-up within the luxury fashion industry, Prada has announced its acquisition of Versace for €1.25 billion ($1.38 billion) from Capri Holdings, the parent company of Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo. The deal follows months of speculation around a possible union between the two Italian powerhouses. While whispers of a breakdown had recently circulated, largely fuelled by market volatility linked to former President Trump’s tariff policies, sources close to the negotiation say the acquisition is officially back on track. Although the transaction was initially expected to close at €1.43 billion, the final price reflects a €180 million reduction. Industry insiders attribute the discount to ongoing turbulence in the global retail sector, which has been rattled by economic uncertainty and shifting trade dynamics. Despite broader challenges in the luxury market, Prada has emerged as a standout performer. The group posted €5.4 billion in revenue for 2024  a 17% increase year-on-year. A major contributor to this growth was Miu Miu, the label responsible for fashion’s most talked-about pieces this year, including viral micro-miniskirts and satin ballet flats. Miu Miu nearly doubled its profits in 2024, reaching close to £1 billion in sales.   View this post on Instagram   A […] The post Prada Acquires Versace in €1.25 Billion Luxury Power Move appeared first on BN Style.

The “Water” singer and Grammy-winning artist, 23, has been officially named Pandora’s newest ambassador—and in true Tyla fashion, she shines effortlessly in her first of many campaigns for the global jewelry brand. Titled “Pandora Styled by Tyla,” the campaign features a curated selection of designs that reflect the South African star’s “journey, passions and inspirations,” according to a press release.
