When Veekee James steps out, it’s not just fashion, it’s a whole moment. And at the star-studded premiere of Toyin Abraham’s new epic film Iyalode, she didn’t just show up, she shut it down.
Veekee rocked a stunning red beaded Kente gown that screamed royalty, drama, and extra everything the “Oversabi Aunty” theme of the night called for.
The dress was a perfect blend of tradition and glam: figure-hugging silhouette, rich hand-beading from top to toe, and structured puff sleeves that brought all the drama. And that bold red fan? She held it like a true queen serving looks and attitude.
The theme “Oversabi Aunty” wasn’t random. It was inspired by Toyin Abraham’s over-the-top energy at Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s wedding, where she was the life of the party.
That same big energy carried into the premiere and the stars didn’t disappoint.

Iyalode is set to hit cinemas on June 6. Directed by Adebayo Tijani and produced by Toyin Abraham, it’s a powerful Yoruba epic filled with culture, power, and royalty.
With a cast that includes Kehinde Bankole, Wale Ojo, Bukky Wright, and Femi Adebayo, it promises gripping storytelling and strong female leads just like the name Iyalode (which means a titled woman or female leader in Yoruba culture) suggests.
So yes, the movie is going to be a must-watch. But Veekee James? She already gave us a fashion masterpiece before the lights even went down.
