Every year, the ancient town of Ijebu-Ode transforms into one of the most visually spectacular runways on the continent. The Ojude Oba festival, a glorious celebration of Ijebu heritage, wealth, and community, has officially cemented its status as a premier fixture on the African fashion calendar.

The 2026 edition—themed around honoring the heavy legacy of the land—brought an explosion of rich Aṣọ-Òkè fabrics, heavily structured geles, and a level of pure, unadulterated “steeze” that left social media spellbound. While the traditional Regberegbe (age-grade) groups turned up in immaculate coordinated finery, it was a select group of celebrities and style icons who truly stole the king’s court.

From modern tailored Agbadas to gravity-defying eyewear, here are the style stars who made the ultimate fashion statement at Ojude Oba 2026.
