Doctor, fashion creator and now bride, Kiky Festus walked down the aisle in a wedding dress that felt less like fabric and more like art.

Her custom Veekee James gown was made to turn heads, and it did exactly that. Designed with input from stylist Baudovin Ononiba, the dress drew direct inspiration from one place: the church.

Veekee James summed it up best when she said Kiky went to church “wearing Church.” For Kiky, it was her absolute dream dress. And every detail proved it.

From a distance, the gown delivered full bridal drama — a sculpted corset, flowing sheath silhouette, dramatic fan-shaped train, and cathedral-length veil.

Up close, the story unfolded. Thousands of micro-beads were hand-stitched across the skirt and lower corset to recreate Gothic architecture. Think pointed archways, lancet windows, soaring spires, and vaulted ceilings — all translated into beadwork on sequinned mesh.

The effect was layered, dimensional, and made you want to zoom in on every photo.

The foundation of the look was Veekee James’ signature corsetry. A sharp basque waist defined Kiky’s figure before the gown flared into its wide chapel train, finished with pointed lace edging that mirrored the crown-like motifs at the neck.

The neckline itself was architectural. A sheer illusion panel rose into a high mock-neck collar crafted from flame-like lace appliqués. More pointed lace traced the sweetheart bustline, echoing the cathedral theme.

The back continued the narrative with sheer illusion mesh, a clean center zip, and vertical lace lines. Her full-length illusion sleeves, matched to her skin tone, featured vertical rows of micro-pearls that created a pinstripe effect. Delicate lace cutouts at the wrists finished the sleeves.

Kiky paired the gown with a cathedral-length tulle veil trimmed in wide scalloped Guipure lace. Worn as a blusher, it framed the beadwork without hiding it.

For beauty, Adefunke styled her hair into a sleek high-parted bun to show off the high collar. Ariyike Glams did glowing, neutral bridal glam. She carried a simple bouquet of white baby’s breath — minimal, to let the gown do all the talking.

Kiky married fellow doctor and fashion creator Akin Faminu in the custom look, and it was clear the dress was more than bridal wear. It was a love letter to architecture, faith, and couture.

Veekee James took familiar cathedral elements and rebuilt them as fashion. The result? A gown that reveals a new detail every time you look at it — exactly what a dream dress should do.

Akin Faminu & Kiky Festus Served 4 Culture-Driven Couture Looks For Their Traditional Wedding

by Women Times on September 9, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Fashion lovers, Akin Faminu and Kiky Festus just raised the bar for traditional weddings.

The stylish couple tied the knot in a ceremony tagged #HookedOnTheFaminus, and their wardrobe did all the talking. From gold brocade to pop-art Vogue prints, they gave us 4 full outfit changes — each one curated by celebrity stylist, The Style Infidel to blend culture, couture, and storytelling.

Look 1: Gold Brocade Royalty

The day opened with classic grandeur.

Kiky came out as the Igbo maiden in a custom Emagine By Bukola gown made with textured gold brocade. The dress had ruby crystal beads, metallic details, and dramatic side draping. She paired it with a red beaded crown, coral beads, and a black ukwu fly-whisk.

Akin matched the energy in a rich brown velvet Deji & Kola agbada with white embroidery. He added layered ivory and coral beads, a feathered cap, and a white ceremonial staff.

Her designer said the look was created to capture “regal, deeply feminine, and unforgettable” Igbo bridal beauty.

Look 2: Vintage Heritage Storytelling

For round two, it was all about history and memory.

Kiky wore Prudential, a sweetheart blouse and wrapper made from a patchwork of vintage Nigerian postage stamps. It had hand-beading, embroidery, and even custom bead portraits of the couple’s faces. She finished it with a pleated pink gele, pearls, and a pink parasol.

Akin went heritage too in a white Deji & Kola tunic over a red, green, and yellow tartan George skirt. He carried a carved walking stick and a vintage pink tasselled umbrella to complete the throwback vibe.

Look 3: Royal Purple Statement

The third change was bold and regal.

Kiky slipped into a deep purple off-shoulder gown by Nichole Stylish with teal and coral geometric appliqués on the bodice and skirt.

Akin answered her with a royal purple Ugo Monye agbada over a bright orange inner tunic. The tunic had traditional Igbo graphics and he layered it with multi-strand coral beads.

It was matching royalty, but make it fashion.

Look 4: Pop-Art After Party

For the after-party, the couple switched to modern streetwear meets high fashion.

Kiky’s second Emagine By Bukola look was a fitted corset mini dress covered in iconic Vogue magazine covers — from Rihanna to Zendaya. The designer said the idea was for her to “wear the archive itself.”

Akin kept it cool in a Deji & Kola graphic button-down with retro magazine prints, dark wide-leg trousers with white stitching, rectangular sunglasses, and light boots

Congratulations to the latest couple in town, Akin and Kiki Faminu.

Medical doctor and menswear influencer Akin Faminu and dentist and fashion influencer Kiky Festus have unveiled the first of four pre-wedding looks ahead of their main wedding celebrations in September 2026.

The couple, who had their civil wedding in April 2026, shared photos from the shoot on Tuesday, giving fans a glimpse of the style to expect in the countdown to their white wedding.

For the debut look, the pair opted for coordinated custom designs from two Nigerian labels. Akin was styled by *Deji & Kola* in a dark forest-green three-piece suit paired with a floor-length velvet trench coat. The ensemble featured wide textured lapels, turned-up cuffs, a blush-pink dress shirt and matching bow tie. He accessorised with a floral brooch and a pocket-watch chain across his waistcoat.

Kiky wore a bespoke blush-pink gown by Firstlady. The strapless corset dress had structured boning, a sweetheart neckline, and soft draping that flowed into a trailing train. Three-dimensional floral appliqués cascaded down the front. She completed the look with a draped neck scarf, emerald drop earrings, and a sleek high bow updo.

The shoot, set under a statement red chandelier, captured the couple in intimate and elegant poses, blending classic tailoring with romantic couture.

According to the couple, this is the first of four pre-wedding looks planned before their September celebrations.

With both Akin and Kiky known for their strong fashion influence, anticipation is already building for the remaining looks ahead of their big day.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s Daughter Meraiah Is Engaged! See Her Dreamy Proposal in Mexico

by Women Times on August 19, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde’s daughter is officially engaged to her partner, Manny, after a romantic proposal in Mexico — and the photos are everything.

Meraiah shared the news on Instagram with a series of candlelit photos captioned with pure romance. She called Manny her “Mr. Intentional” and “LOML,” writing that their love story was “hand crafted by God.”

“It will always be a yes from me now and forever,” she added, ending with a prayer for their future and the new hashtag: #MxM26.

The setup was straight out of a movie: rose petals on the floor, white florals, tall candles, string lights, and a fireworks display lighting up the night sky as Manny popped the question.

Meraiah wore a floor-length white gown with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a thigh-high slit. The details stole the show — feather-trimmed cuffs, a dramatic train, and minimalist accessories: dainty earrings, a bracelet, and a silver anklet. She styled her hair in a high bun with soft curls and went for warm, glossy makeup with a neutral lip.

Manny matched the moment in an all-white short-sleeved shirt and trousers, paired with a silver chain and luxury watch.

And the ring? A large oval-cut diamond solitaire on a slim band. Classic setting, major statement.

Omotola wasted no time celebrating.

“Stop press! Have you heard? My Twinnie is engaged!” she wrote.

Then came the real announcement: “I guess we have a wedding to plan!”

Meraiah has grown up in the spotlight as part of one of Nigeria’s most beloved entertainment families. She’s built her own lane in fashion and lifestyle, and now she’s stepping into her next chapter.

No wedding date has been announced yet, but if this proposal is anything to go by, we’re already watching for the bridal looks.

Congratulations to Meraiah and Manny

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez say “I do”

by Women Times on August 17, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Some love stories begin with fireworks. Theirs began with a sales tag.

Back in 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo, then at the peak of football — walked into a Gucci store in Madrid. Behind the counter was Georgina Rodríguez, a sales assistant who wasn’t even scheduled to work. It was her day off, but she’d stepped in to cover a friend’s shift.

Ten years to the day they met, the couple closed the circle in the most understated way: with a private civil ceremony in their living room in Cascais, Portugal, with their five children as the only guests.

A decade later, “el click” finally came

On August 11, 2026, Vogue confirmed that Ronaldo and Rodríguez tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at home. No stadium-sized guest list. No red carpet. Just family.

Fans first got a glimpse of their story in Georgina’s 2022 Netflix series, I Am Georgina. She recalled the day Ronaldo walked in with his son Cristiano Jr. and friends. “Handsome. Very tall. Instant butterflies,” she said.

For years the narrative around them was told mostly through Ronaldo’s career — five Ballon d’Ors, Champions League titles, stints at Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr, and Portugal. But away from the pitch, Georgina became the anchor. She helped raise their children and built her own brand, while Ronaldo repeatedly called her the “pillar” of his home life.

In that same Netflix doc, Ronaldo was asked about marriage. His answer went viral: they would wed when they felt “el click.” He didn’t know if it would be in a month, a year, or six months — but he knew it would come.

It did. On August 11, 2025, Georgina announced the proposal on Instagram. Exactly one year later, they said “I do.”

A family built through joy and heartbreak

Their journey as a couple has spanned their highest highs and deepest lows.

In 2017 they welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo, followed months later by daughter Alana Martina. In 2022 they had twins again, Bella Esmeralda and Ángel. Bella survived. Ángel passed away shortly after birth.

Through it all, Rodríguez has been a constant presence in Ronaldo’s life off the field.

A wedding at a milestone moment

The wedding also lands at a significant point in Ronaldo’s career. At 41, he made history in 2026 as one of the few footballers to feature in six World Cups. Just before the tournament, Portugal played Nigeria in a warm-up in Leiria, winning 2–1. Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceição scored for Portugal, with Akor Adams netting for the Super Eagles.

For Nigerian fans, sharing a pitch with Ronaldo one more time felt like a full-circle moment — from his Manchester United and Real Madrid glory days to this late-career chapter.

Whether this World Cup marks his final bow is still unknown. But if it does, he’s stepping away with more than trophies. He’s stepping away with the family he built.

Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez.

Niniola Honours Late Husband Michael Ndika with New Single “Raining (O Dun Mi)

by Women Times on August 14, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nigerian Afro-house star Niniola Apata has released a deeply personal new single, “Raining (O Dun Mi),” as a heartfelt tribute to her late husband and longtime manager, Michael Ndika.

The track arrives after a period of mourning following Ndika’s passing in May 2026. Rather than a purely sorrowful reflection, the song transforms private grief into a space of healing, memory, and enduring love. It speaks both to Niniola’s own journey and to anyone who has experienced loss.

Ndika was more than a partner; he was a central figure in Niniola’s career for many years, working closely with her behind the scenes. In “Raining (O Dun Mi),” she channels the weight of that absence into music that feels intimate yet universal.

The Yoruba phrase “O dun mi” conveys profound emotion, which the production softens into something comforting and resonant.

In a message shared with fans, Niniola explained the song’s meaning:“Some feelings are too deep for words. So I put them in a song. Some songs are made to entertain. Others are born from moments that change us forever.

‘Raining (O Dun Mi)’ is my deeply personal tribute to a man who was not only my life partner, but an important part of my journey and career.“But this song is also for everyone who has lost someone they love — for the memories that remain, the empty spaces they leave behind, and the love that never truly goes away.

Through music, I honour his memory.”

The accompanying visuals show Niniola in a striking black A-line dress against draped white fabric, marking her first music video release since her husband’s death.

Earlier images of the couple at formal events underscore the partnership that shaped much of her public and private life.

With “Raining (O Dun Mi),” Niniola turns personal loss into shared solace. The single stands as both a private act of remembrance and an open invitation for listeners to hold close the people and moments that continue to shape them.

Peller and Jarvis Officially Tie the Knot in Chic Lagos Civil Ceremony

by Women Times on July 30, 2026

By Prosper Mene

Nigerian TikTok power couple Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, popularly known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis, are officially husband and wife.

The duo legalized their union today, Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at a civil wedding ceremony in Lagos. The intimate court proceedings set the stage for their grand white wedding, scheduled for Friday, August 1, 2026.

A Love Story Months in the Making

The road to “I do” began in June when Peller traveled to Benin City, Edo State, to formally meet Jarvis’ family and fulfill traditional rites, including the payment of bride price. Wednesday’s civil ceremony marked the next legal milestone, with the upcoming white wedding set to be the final celebration with family, friends, and fans.

Styled by celebrity designer Emmanuel Goodnews Icon, the couple delivered one of the most cohesive civil wedding looks of the year.

Peller cut a sharp figure in a tailored, single-breasted off-white suit with structured shoulders and a classic notch lapel. He paired it with a light blue dress shirt, a patterned teal-and-blue tie secured with a sleek tie bar, and finished the look with dark blue leather dress shoes.

Jarvis complemented him in a Prudential off-white textured tweed mini dress featuring a square neckline and delicate blue floral embroidery. She layered it with a matching cropped bolero jacket and accessorized with white pointed-toe pumps, drop earrings, and a statement white hairpiece placed behind a sleek, low bun. She carried a lush bouquet of baby’s breath, tying the entire aesthetic together.

The matching off-white tones, accented with subtle blues, created a clean, romantic palette that felt both modern and timeless.

Announcing the milestone on social media, the couple kept it simple:

“Officially Mr. & Mrs. Civil wedding done…”

With the legal formalities complete, all eyes are now on August 1 for the couple’s highly anticipated white wedding.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Peller.

Mr Eazi & Temi Ajibade Open Up: Life, Love, and New Parenthood Unfiltered

by Women Times on June 15, 2026

By Prosper Mene

There’s something different when you hear parents talk after the baby arrives. The conversation slows down. The jokes land softer and the reflections cut deeper. That is the energy Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola-Ajibade are bringing back to the mic.

The couple, who welcomed their first child last year, have returned with new episodes that move past the headlines and into real life at home. No filters, no performance. Just two people figuring out marriage, fatherhood, and what it means to raise a family while the whole world watches.

In their latest conversations, they’re not just sharing “baby news.” They’re talking about sleepless nights, the small wins, the arguments nobody posts online, and the quiet moments that actually change you. Temi speaks about adjusting to motherhood while keeping her own voice. Mr Eazi opens up about learning to be present, about how fatherhood has shifted the way he thinks about legacy and work.

It’s not a podcast trying to teach you how to parent. It feels more like sitting in their living room while they work it out in real time. One minute they’re laughing about diaper disasters, the next they’re getting serious about balance, culture, and raising a child between two worlds.

Fans have been waiting for this. Since the baby announcement, people have been curious how the couple’s dynamic would shift. The answer, based on these new episodes, is that it hasn’t changed who they are — it’s just added more depth. Their chemistry is still there, but now it’s grounded by something bigger than both of them.

From viral wedding moments to building businesses and now raising a family, Mr Eazi and Temi have let people in at every stage. This latest chapter feels like the most honest yet. Less about the spotlight, more about the life happening off-camera.

The new episodes are out now on all major podcast platforms. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after the “we’re expecting” post, this is it — raw, warm, and very human.
