There are peacocks, and then there’s Tonto Dikeh as a peacock — a whole different category of majestic. The Nollywood star just stepped out in a look that’s equal parts tradition, modern artistry, and “don’t you dare look away.”

Perched on her head? A sculptural silver gele so tall and regal, it could probably get its own chieftaincy title. The gown? An off-shoulder silver bodice dripping with beadwork in jewel-toned greens, deep blues, and shimmering silver — like the peacock decided to retire from the animal kingdom and start a high-fashion career.

And just when you think it can’t get richer, the deep teal satin skirt arrives — embroidered with swirls and feather-like motifs that whisper, “Yes, I’m extra. And what about it?”

Tonto Dikeh seals the deal with a fan made of actual peacock feathers (because commitment to the theme matters), plus bold choker and stacked bracelets that scream statement.

If you’ve been searching for a masterclass on how to channel nature’s most flamboyant bird into Nigerian red-carpet energy, class is officially in session — and Tonto is the professor.
