Nollywood stars stepped out last night for the “Reel Love” premiere, bringing glamour, style, and a touch of romance ahead of its February 14th cinema release. With a Black Tie dress code in place, the cast and guests made sure to dress the part.

Lead actor and co-executive producer Timini Egbuson made a statement in a deep burgundy velvet blazer with an asymmetric lapel, giving classic black tie a bold upgrade.

Dakore Egbuson–Akande brought a refreshing pop of colour in a stunning pink power suit, with a blazer dripping in shimmering embellishments that added just the right amount of sparkle. She layered it over a simple white top. With perfectly matched nails and a short, chic hairstyle, she effortlessly balanced elegance and boldness.

Directed by Kayode Kasum and written by Ife Olujuyigbe, “Reel Love” boasts a stellar cast including Shaffy Bello, Muyiwa Ademola, Funke Akindele, Bimbo Ademoye, Jay On Air, Hermes Iyele, Atlanta Bridget Johnson, Efa Iwara, Lilian Afegbai, and TJ Omusuku. The film promises a mix of love, drama, and unexpected twists—just in time for Valentine’s season.

Here’s how the cast and guests showed up.
