What happens when the host of an event decides to show up in a show-stopping outfit? It marks the beginning of an exciting and unforgettable event. Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as Kiekie, returns as the host of the Trendupp Awards 2025 in exquisite attire. The event host and brand influencer always makes a fashion statement whenever she appears at an event. Kiekie returned for the third time as the official host of the Trendupp Awards in glamorous style.
The Trendupp Awards is a platform dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the significant contributions of content creators, influencers, and brands within the African social media landscape. The event took place at The Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace, Victoria Island, Lagos, on July 13, 2025.
For her first look, Kiekie adhered to the dress code, which specified “Black Excellence.” She wore a stunning single-button jacket with a notched lapel and padded shoulders. A pleated white shirt with small black buttons was visible, complemented by a black bow tie, all over a voluminous, floor-sweeping long gown. The lower part of the dress flared from the waist, creating a wide silhouette that draped elegantly to the floor. A metallic sheened corset cinched the dress at the waist, creating a defined silhouette. Kiekie completed the look with a wide-brim hat, adding a touch sophistication and elegance suitable for a red carpet event. This outfit, designed by Mai Atafo, is indeed unique.
