From Concept to Couture: Veekee James Shares the Design Process Behind Priscilla Ojo’s Mermaid Wedding Dress
When Priscilla Ojo walked down the aisle to marry Juma Jux, the world was in awe of the jaw-dropping masterpiece that was her wedding gown. It was a mermaid-shaped silhouette, beaded to perfection, made by Veekee James. And now, the visionary behind that gown, designer Veekee James, is giving us an exclusive peek into the process that made this dress a reality. Veekee shares the inspiration behind her dress, citing God as the major source: “Before I created Priscy’s wedding dress, I went to God that I wanted to create a masterpiece for her.” Priscilla also shared that she had always envisioned herself in a mermaid gown made by Veekee James. “I always dreamt of a mermaid dress. I did fittings, but this was the first time (her wedding day) I saw it fully completed.” And… she got her dream dress! “You (Veekee James) don’t have any bad looks, so I obviously knew you were going to kill it. This is my dream dress.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by VEEKEE JAMES ATERE (@veekee_james) For Veekee, the process wasn’t more than the design; it was a spiritual journey. “I pray over my staff… I have […] The post From Concept to Couture: Veekee James Shares the Design Process Behind Priscilla Ojo’s Mermaid Wedding Dress appeared first on BN Style.

Wunmi Mosaku’s Press Tour Style Is the Definition of Next-Level & It’s All Black and African Designers
There’s a reason Wunmi Mosaku is firmly on the fashion set’s radar, and it’s not just because of her breakout performance in Sinners, the buzzy, box-office smashing Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan collaboration. Her recent press tour has been nothing short of a style revelation. While promoting the film on late-night talk shows, at intimate screenings, and on major red carpets, Mosaku has delivered a masterclass in elevated, directional fashion. Since the tour began in late March, she’s served over ten distinct looks, each one a confident blend of a fashion-forward spirit and her own evolving sartorial identity. Whether in sculptural silhouettes or soft, romantic tailoring, Mosaku continues to thrill, abetted by her stylist Shameelah Hicks Senat. Her willingness to take risks—and to own them—has made every appearance a moment worth watching. In short: Wunmi Mosaku isn’t just a star on the rise. She’s a red carpet force. And the best part? She’s worn almost exclusively Black & African designers; from Harbison Studio to Sisiano,  Zuri Kenya to custom Theophilio, Wunmi and her brilliant stylist Shameela have kept it very much on theme and on point!

There’s something about Wunmi Mosaku on the red carpet that feels instantly timeless. Whether she’s stepping out at the Sinners premiere in New York or making a splash at the film’s Mexico City press stop, the British-Nigerian star has consistently delivered bold elegance—right down to the beauty. With makeup by Joy Adenuga and hair by Dionne Smith, Mosaku’s glam has centred around one clear theme: effortless radiance. Think luminous skin, a soft-focus base, and statement eye moments that feel modern but unfussy. And the hair? A rotation of sleek, sculptural braids that strike the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. It’s vibrant beauty done the Wunmi Mosaku way; clean, confident, and quietly show-stopping. Consider us fully locked in.   Credits Wunmi @wunmimosaku Makeup – @joyadenuga @forwardartists Hair – @dionnesmithhair Styling – @shameelahhicks The post Wunmi Mosaku Serves Up Glossy Neutrals With A Pop Of Colour on the Sinners Press Tour appeared first on BN Style.

Double the Looks, Double the Glamour: Style Highlights from Priscilla Ojo & Juma Jux’s Wedding
One special thing about Yoruba weddings is the tradition of outfit changes. It is common for the bride and groom to have a first, second, and sometimes even a third look throughout the day. This adds more excitement to the celebration and gives the couple a chance to show off different styles. In recent times, this tradition has grown even bigger. Now, it is not just the couple changing outfits. Guests, friends, and close family members have also joined in, showing up in multiple looks that are just as stunning. The result? A wedding full of fashion moments and back-to-back glamour. It is no surprise that Yoruba wedding fashion has caught the attention of many across Nigeria and even beyond. From Instagram reels to TikTok videos, the style, colour, and creativity at these weddings often go viral. Other cultures have started to adopt the idea of outfit changes too, making it a trend that keeps growing. At Priscilla Ojo’s wedding, we saw this in full effect. Not only did the bride and groom step out in more than one look, but many of the guests and family members also had wardrobe changes that left everyone in awe.

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.

How Do You Serve Drama in Pink and Green? We’re Taking Notes From Mercy Aigbe-Adeoti
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.

#JP2025: Get The First Look at Priscilla & Juma Jux’s Traditional Wedding Outfit
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.

Did BamBam Just Give the Pixie Cut a Feminine Twist?
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.

Bread Beauty Supply Joins New Holding Company Led by Topicals CEO Olamide Olowe
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.

Prada Acquires Versace in €1.25 Billion Luxury Power Move
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.
