Toyin Abraham’s “Iyalode” Premiere: A Night of Glam, Sass, and Aunty Energy
It was glitz, glam, and a whole lot of extra as the stars turned out for the premiere of Toyin Abraham’s new film Iyalode—and let’s just say, subtlety was not on the guest list.
The dress code? “Channel Your Inner Over Sabi Aunty.” If you’ve spent even five minutes in a Nigerian home, you already know the type: always has advice, always in the mix, and always doing the absolute most. But last night, that vibe took center stage—in the best way.
The red carpet was a fashion parade of drama, colour, and bold choices. From statement sleeves to fabrics that could announce you from across the room, guests came prepared to show up and show out. Toyin Abraham herself didn’t just walk the carpet—she owned it, switching outfits halfway through the event like a true headliner. Mercy Aigbe made a grand entrance in a carriage, then spun into a fresh look for the after-party. Extra? Absolutely. And we loved every second of it.
One thing’s for sure: when Nollywood comes out to play, they don’t hold back. And this premiere proved that going over the top can be the perfect way to make a statement.
Catch a glimpse at how your faves brought the theme to life—you won’t be disappointed.
