There are outfits, and then there are moments. For the Big Brother Naija 10/10 finale, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu didn’t just show up — he ascended.

His second look of the night was less “host” and more “cultural coronation.” Draped in pristine white, layered with a leopard-print vest embroidered with a gold lion head, Ebuka gave us a masterclass in modern regality. The robe flowed with the kind of ease that whispers confidence, while the vest roared authority — a literal power move stitched into fabric.

The accessories? Straight from the fashion archives of Nigerian nobility. A gold crown with a burgundy velvet base (because of course he’d bring his own throne energy), coral beads in warm pinks and oranges, a black-and-gold walking stick that doubled as punctuation, and blue-tinted aviators to remind you: this king still has edge.

The look pays homage to the living legend Pete Edochie — a man whose presence alone could silence a room and whose on-screen gravitas became a benchmark for Nigerian storytelling. In Ebuka’s own words, this was tribute, culture, and showmanship woven together.

And that’s the thing about Ebuka — he doesn’t just dress; he directs a visual experience. Each look this season has been a narrative in itself, and this final one? The grand closing scene. A fashion mic drop that says, “You may announce a winner tonight, but style already found its champion.”

Because when Ebuka wears tradition, he doesn’t just represent — he reinvents.
