Pregnancy is clearly not slowing down Veekee James.
The celebrated designer, who recently created looks for the traditional wedding of Simi Sanya and Femi Dapson, just delivered a maternity fashion moment that is impossible to ignore. And if you’ve seen the photos, you already know why.
Veekee stepped out in a black sheer mesh gown that runs from a fitted turtleneck all the way down to a sculpted mermaid hem. The fabric hugs closely through the body, making her baby bump fully visible and intentionally part of the look.
Extending from both sides of the gown are long sheer fabric panels that sweep outward like wings, creating a dramatic silhouette that transforms the entire image from a simple maternity photo into something far more editorial.
The effect is bold, sculptural, and unmistakably Veekee.
To soften the all-black palette, Veekee added a gold chain belt featuring letter and charm pendants that sit delicately at her waist, introducing warmth and contrast to the look.
Her accessories continue the gold theme with large ornate earrings set with amber-toned stones and a sleek gold cuff bracelet.
Beauty-wise, the designer kept things polished and confident: long straight hair draped over one shoulder, a strong defined eye, and a neutral lip that allowed the gown to remain the focal point.
The setting of the shoot also feels intentional. Veekee stands before a green botanical tapestry against a cream wall, with a patterned rug beneath her feet a rich backdrop that complements the dramatic simplicity of the gown.
Veekee first announced her pregnancy on February 3, 2026, alongside her husband Femi Atere with the caption: “And two shall become 3. Indeed, this is what only GOD can do.”
She later revealed that the couple had been trying to conceive for about a year, describing God as “a timely God who makes everything beautiful in His own time.” The internet responded exactly how you would expect — with waves of congratulations and excitement.
And here’s what makes the moment even more impressive.
While Veekee is out here embracing maternity fashion in a sheer mesh gown, she is also actively designing Simi Sanya’s second look and reception dress for the #MeetTheDapsons26 traditional wedding — all while working remotely abroad.
Baby bump, high-fashion maternity style, and bridal design happening simultaneously. Veekee James is clearly not interested in slowing down anytime soon.
