The “Oversabi Aunty” Premiere Gave Us Big Fashion Looks

Everything about the premiere of “Oversabi Aunty” had us in awe. From the synopsis alone, the film already feels like one to look forward to. Produced by Toyin Abraham, “Oversabi Aunty”  is a new comedy-drama that leans into family dynamics, centring on a meddlesome, “oversabi” aunty whose constant interference causes tension in a marriage. With a cast that includes Toyin Abraham, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, Jemima Osunde, Efe Irele, Mike Ezuruonye and Queen Nwokoye, the film promises plenty of humour alongside familiar family conflicts many Nigerian homes will recognise.

While the story has us curious, the premiere itself gave us even more to talk about. When the title of a film is “Oversabi Aunty,”  you already know the fashion would not be quiet. Guests arrived dressed boldly and unapologetically, leaning fully into a sense of excess that felt fitting for the occasion. There were high, sculptural geles in all kinds of styles, shiny lace fabrics sewn into iro and buba and other creative silhouettes, as well as flowy agabadas finished with generous embroidery.

The overall mood was clear from the moment guests stepped in: nothing about the night was meant to be subtle, and that was exactly the point. Every look celebrated flair, confidence and cultural expression, and it made the premiere just as memorable as the film it was introducing.
