The premiere of Ajosepo 2: The Gathering last night was a dazzling display of Owambe Glam, with Nollywood stars turning out in full traditional regalia to celebrate the film’s release. Held in Lagos, the event brought together top actors, filmmakers, and fashion icons who embraced the theme with elegance and flair, transforming the venue into a vibrant, high-society wedding celebration. The movie, directed by Kayode Kasum, continues the story of Jide and Mary, two years after the first film, as their upcoming wedding reunites their chaotic families for a fresh wave of drama, laughter, and hidden secrets.
Timini Egbuson, who plays groom Jide, stood out in a rich, deep blue Agbada with a structured fit that exuded traditional sophistication. He accessorized with a red fila, multiple rows of red coral beads around his neck and wrist, and carried a white ìrùkẹ̀rẹ̀, a ceremonial staff that added regal gravitas to his look. His choice of attire reflected a grounded yet powerful interpretation of Yoruba wedding fashion, setting a tone of authenticity for the evening.
Bolaji Ogunmola, portraying bride Mary, dazzled in a cream-coloured aso-oke ensemble featuring wide sleeves and intricate purple rope embroidery on the neckline and cuffs. Her overlapping skirt matched the top with complementary purple detailing at the hem, while a flawlessly tied white gele completed the bridal aesthetic. Her outfit was a masterclass in understated luxury, blending tradition with modern elegance.
The rest of the guest list followed suit, with stars like Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe, Tomike Adeoye, Mike Afolarin, Blessing Nze, Efe Irele, Kamo State, and Eniola Ajao arriving in custom traditional designs, vibrant geles, and luxurious fabrics. Each guest brought their own flair to the Owambe Glam theme, contributing to an atmosphere of celebration and cultural pride.
Ajosepo 2: The Gathering stars Timini Egbuson, Bolaji Ogunmola, Mike Afolarin, Tomike Adeoye, Toyin Abraham, and others, and is set to hit cinemas nationwide on Thursday, May 28, 2026. The film promises to deliver the same blend of humor, family dynamics, and emotional depth that made the first instalment a hit.
