Veekee James has had quite the fashion year. In 2026 alone, her designs have taken centre stage on red carpets, at film premieres and down wedding aisles, with each look offering its own take on glamour, structure and intricate detail.
Here are some of the Veekee James looks that have stood out in 2026 so far, a selection from a year that is still unfolding:
1. Osas Ighodaro, A Mama Deola Wedding Story premiere (September 2026)
For the film’s “White Wedding Couture” themed premiere, Osas wore a custom gown in a warm nude tone beneath layers of ivory lace, starting with a sheer illusion corset bodice. The structured top featured boning and crystal and pearl embellishments that continued down the fitted long sleeves, while floral lace appliqués travelled down the floor-length skirt. The gown extended into a sweeping chapel-length lace train, finished with a matching floor-length veil.
2. Nomzamo Mbatha, AMVCA 12 (May 2026)
Co-hosting the 12th AMVCA in Lagos, South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha was styled by Veekee James in a fully beaded black gown featuring a deep plunging neckline paired with a turtleneck.
3. Osas Ighodaro, AMVCA 12 (May 2026)
For the 12th AMVCA in Lagos, Osas Ighodaro wore a custom Veekee James gown featuring a sculpted metallic bodice, sheer detailing and a dramatic full skirt covered in circular embellishments. The silver-toned look was finished with a sweeping train, creating a striking, almost sculptural silhouette on the red carpet.
4. Veekee James herself, A Mama Deola Wedding Story premiere (September 2026)
As her own muse for the same premiere, Veekee wore a white ballgown with a structured basque-waist corset and a full, floor-sweeping skirt. The bodice featured a sheer illusion yoke and cap sleeves, with rows of crystals and beads arranged across the chest in a swirling architectural pattern.
5. Kiky Festus’s wedding gown (September 2026)
For her wedding to Akin Faminu, Kiky wore a custom white gown built around cathedral-inspired micro-beading, a sculpted basque corset, and pearl-pinstriped illusion sleeves. The design translated the architecture of the church itself into the gown, with window motifs and arched patterns running across the skirt.
6. Jarvis Wedding Gown (August 2026)
For her traditional wedding to content creator Peller, Jarvis wore a deep red Edo bridal ensemble by Veekee James featuring elaborate geometric beaded embellishments, a matching headpiece, and wrist cuffs.
7. Simi Sanya’s wedding dress (March 2026)
For her white wedding to Femi Dapson, Simi wore a Veekee James gown built around crystals and beads arranged in geometric patterns and lines across the bodice, with a long train adorned with flower appliqués.
