The premiere of The Return of Arinzo delivered exactly what a major Nollywood moment should: drama, couture craftsmanship, and head-turning, aisle-worthy fashion. Held in Lagos at the Balmoral Event Centre, Victoria Island, the event saw your favourite Nigerian celebs deliver aisle worthy fashion in line with the ‘Fashionable First Lady’ red carpet theme. Here are some of our favourite looks.
Iyabo Ojo in Mubrik
Iyabo Ojo set the tone in a regal, floor-length blue floral jacquard gown before switching into a playful, movement-heavy fringe mini. Both looks were designed by Mubrik.
Mercy Aigbe in Becca Needles n Stitches
Mercy Aigbe stepped out in a gold & silver crystal-encrusted mermaid gown designed by Becca Needles n Stitches. Everything about this look screams bridal: the sweetheart neckline, vertical crystal patterning, sheer nude tulle cape. We love!
Osas Ighodaro in Toju Foyeh
Osas never disappoints! And this look by Toju Foyeh gave us traditional bridal high-Fashion energy.
Chioma Ikokwu in Sevon Dejana & Djec Fashion
Chioma had 3 looks to the premiere and all 3 looks were stunning but our aisle worthy picks of the night had to be her looks by Sevon Dejana look and Djec Fashion

Toyin Abraham in Prudential Atelier
Toyin Abraham’s navy off-shoulder gown designed by Prudential Atelier was stunning. The asymmetric peplum detail, the subtle floral beadwork neckline and the clean silhouette makes this look aisle worthy.
Toke Makinwa in Toju Foyeh
Toke leaned into her signature aesthetic; ultra-glam, high-impact eveningwear perfectly aligned with the night’s energy. We think this look would be perfect for the bride’s afterparty look
Hilda Baci in House of Julyet Peters
This sleek glam look screams civil wedding for a daring bride
Funke Akindele in Somo
Funke Akindele’s purple & gold beaded mermaid gown was stunning. The structured bodice with vertical beadwork, dramatic ruffled hem, thigh-high slit, pink heels delivered aisle-worthy bridal fashion.
Eniola Badmus in Lolarsfinesse
Eniola’s look reinvented the classic black lace look with modern tailoring. The textured lace and the silhouette makes this look aisle-perfect.
Mimi Yina in Medlin Couture
Mimi’s bold fuchsia traditional bridal look proved that traditional looks are not out of place on a red carpet.
Omowunmi Dada in Somo
