Only Veekee James could make cooking look like a runway moment.
Stepping into the kitchen like it’s a cultural celebration, Veekee swapped the usual apron for a regal Yoruba-inspired ensemble—and she didn’t hold back. If you’re going to whip up amala and abula, why not serve a look while you’re at it?
She wore a rich, structured red buba, paired with a short aso-oke wrapper that boldly mixed shades of blue, red, and black. Draped elegantly over one shoulder was a matching ipele, bringing even more texture and flair to the scene. But it was the gele that really stole the show—layered, sculpted, and sky-high in that same vibrant striped fabric. It didn’t just complete the look, it commanded attention.
Her accessories? Thoughtfully bold. A chunky red beaded choker, statement bangles on both wrists, a chic clutch, and red heels that tied it all together. It was a perfect blend of tradition, glamour, and confidence.
Yes, Veekee was just in the kitchen—but this outfit was made for much more. From a traditional Yoruba wedding to a lavish owanbe or even a red carpet event soaked in cultural pride, this look knows no boundaries.
