Are you ready to truly soak in all the beautiful moments from Juma Jux and Priscilla Ojo’s wedding reception in Tanzania? Because before the real celebrations even began, our eyes were immediately drawn to a particular fashion moment. And darling, it was brought to us by none other than Nollywood legend, Funke Akindele. She simply doesn’t miss.
The dress code was clear, as Funke herself shared with a fabulous wink in her caption: “Queen mother said: ‘GO GOLD OR GO HOME’ so I obeyed!!!” The “Queen Mother” she’s referring to? That would be the bride’s very own mum, Iyabo Ojo. And when Iyabo Ojo speaks, you listen – especially when it comes to style!
Funke did not just “obey”; she delivered. She slipped into a gold fitted gown crafted in that timeless, figure-hugging mermaid silhouette. But this wasn’t just any gold dress; the fabric was alive with intricate beading and delicate embroidery, giving the entire outfit a rich, textured finish that truly made a statement. The off-shoulder neckline added a touch of pure grace, while the dramatic, voluminous puffed sleeves in lustrous satin brought in that undeniable high-fashion edge. It was pure theatre, in the best possible way.
And her styling? Absolute perfection. She accessorized with a show-stopping, crystal-draped headpiece, worn across her forehead like a true queen’s crown, perfectly balanced by simple, elegant drop earrings. Her makeup was soft, polished, allowing her stunning features to shine without ever competing with the grandeur of the dress.
Whether you’re heading to a gala, a glamorous dinner party, a birthday bash, a concert, or a truly fabulous wedding reception like this one, this dress just feels right. It’s the kind of look that makes you stop, stare, and then immediately screenshot for future inspiration.
