Fashion designer and content creator Veekee James has just won the prestigious Force of Influence award at the 2025 Trendupp Awards, and honestly, she deserved every bit of it!
The award night, which took place on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the Balmoral Event Center in Victoria Island, Lagos, was a celebration of top digital creators and influencers in Nigeria.
Hosted by the ever-vibrant KieKie, the event brought together some of the biggest names in the content and influencer space, with music, red carpet glamour, and lots of cheering moments.
The Trendupp Awards is all about celebrating people who are doing amazing things on social media, those who are consistent, creative, and making real impact with their content. And this year, Veekee James came out on top.
The Force of Influence category is the biggest award of the night. It’s not just about having a lot of followers. It’s about how much your content connects with people, how consistent you are, and how much influence you truly have online. The winner is chosen by a panel of industry experts, and Veekee was their top pick.
Veekee James showed up in a stunning emerald green velvet gown that hugged her curves perfectly and flowed beautifully to the ground. The highlight of the outfit was the bold coral-red beaded cape sitting on her shoulders like a piece of art.
It was dramatic, elegant, and very unique, just like Veekee herself. Her hair was styled in a high, braided bun, and her accessories were simple yet classy, allowing the outfit to do all the talking.
From fashion tutorials to styling videos and inspiring posts, Veekee James has grown to become one of the most respected voices in fashion and content creation in Nigeria. Her work speaks for itself, and this award is simply proof of how far she has come.
Congratulations to Veekee James on this well-deserved win.
