Founded in London and deeply rooted in Yoruba heritage, DOLA is redefining what contemporary luxury looks like through handcrafted fine jewellery. Named after the Yoruba phrase meaning “turned to wealth,” the brand places West African identity at the heart of its design philosophy, creating pieces that honour culture while embracing modern craftsmanship. Every DOLA piece is handmade to order using solid sterling silver, gold, diamonds and moissanite, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality, longevity and intentional design. At the centre of the collection is ÀMÌ, a series of sculptural, geometric jewellery pieces that cleverly conceal the DOLA name within their metal links. The design draws inspiration from the Yoruba tone mark, a subtle linguistic detail capable of changing the meaning of an entire word, translating language and heritage into wearable art. Following features in British Vogue and Tatler, as well as a styling placement in the Nollywood film Meadowbrook Hearts: The Transition, DOLA unveils its latest campaign imagery, showcasing the brand’s distinctive blend of cultural storytelling, contemporary design and elevated craftsmanship.

Buying your first wig can be exciting, but it can also be expensive if you start with the wrong one. While some styles look stunning on Instagram, they often require more maintenance, styling or experience than a beginner expects. If you’re just getting into wigs, here are five you might want to skip for now, and why. Bone Straight Wigs Longer Than 26 Inches There’s no denying the appeal of extra-long bone straight hair, but if you’re new to wigs, anything beyond 26 inches can be a lot to manage. The length tangles more easily, requires frequent brushing and maintenance, and can quickly become overwhelming if you’re still learning how to care for your unit. Instead, opt for lengths between 18 and 24 inches. You’ll still get the sleek look without all the extra work. Bouncy Curly Wigs Longer Than 16 Inches Long, bouncy curls are beautiful, but they’re also high maintenance. Over time, the curls naturally loosen with wear, washing and styling, leaving the wig looking more wavy than curly. Keeping those curls defined often means regular styling and using the right products. If you love curly hair, stick to 12–16 inches for your first unit. The curls tend […] The post 5 Wigs You Shouldn’t Buy as a Beginner (And What to Get Instead) appeared first on BN Style.

Who says office dressing has to be predictable? Uche Montana‘s latest look is a reminder that tailoring can feel sharp, contemporary and rooted in Nigerian design all at once. Stepping out in an ivory Emmy Kasbit suit, the actor reimagines classic power dressing with clean lines, structured shoulders and wide-leg trousers that create an elegant silhouette. Instead of a shirt, she wears the blazer on its own, giving the look a confident, modern edge. What sets the outfit apart is the handwoven Aso Oke panel wrapped around the waist like a cummerbund. In rich shades of purple, orange and gold, it introduces colour, texture and craftsmanship without overwhelming the clean tailoring. It’s a subtle but effective way of incorporating a traditional Nigerian textile into a contemporary wardrobe. She finishes the look with a bold red clutch that adds contrast, gold earrings and minimal jewellery, while her soft glam makeup and curly updo keep the styling polished.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Style (@bellanaijastyle) The post Uche Montana in Emmy Kasbit Is Workwear Inspiration, the Nigerian Way appeared first on BN Style.

The Super Falcons have touched down in Rabat ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, and their arrival look was a reminder that team style can be just as impactful as matchday kits. Dressed in coordinated green and white Adire jalabiyas, the squad stepped out in relaxed silhouettes featuring bold tie-dye motifs and statement embroidery running down the front. The intricate embroidered panels added structure and detail to the otherwise easy, flowing pieces, giving the traditional garments a polished finish. The players completed the look with matching headscarves tied in a fila-inspired style, while sunglasses, simple jewellery and watches added subtle personal touches.
