Not every wedding stops Lagos traffic, trends on social media, and redefines what elegance looks like—but Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s traditional ceremony did all three, with fashion and beauty moments that felt both intimate and iconic.
Who doesn’t love extravagant Nigerian weddings that embody the phrase “go big or go home?” This isn’t just a saying—it’s a standard. For Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood royalty, Iyabo Ojo, that bar was not only met, it was raised. Her traditional wedding to Tanzanian artiste, Juma Jux was a masterclass in cultural opulence, with fashion and beauty looks that had everyone tuned in on social media.
The online in-laws had a field day dissecting standout looks and enjoying special moments. The bold elegance of Nigerian owambe fashion fills me with pride — it’s a culture I hope never dies. Join me as we break down every sequin, sleeve, and all the slay at #JP2025.
Royalty: Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s first traditional look
If you’re familiar with Nigerian weddings, you’ll know multiple looks are the norm. One look simply isn’t enough. The traditional wedding of Priscilla Ojo & Juma Jux kicked off on Thursday, 17 April 2025, with the couple’s appearance in a regal splash of royal blue and pink aso-oke, with a purple haze, symbolising royalty and power. Styled by Emmanuel Goodnews and designed by Couture by Tabik, these outfits were rooted in culture and excellent craftsmanship. It was a moment of heritage and haute couture that showed a rich display of traditional Yoruba craftsmanship elevated by custom couture design, meticulous embellishments, and flawless modern styling.
Priscilla’s dress was a structured masterpiece. A sculptural, form-fitting mermaid silhouette that captured her graceful and daring fashion muse essence. The fusion of aso-oke, intricate beading, and sequins hugging her curves before flaring out into a striking, fan-shaped hemline, resembling blooming petals all tailored into a structured long-sleeved dress. Priscilla was an ethereal vision to behold in this outfit, with the shiny details catching the light as she walked, danced, or simply stood still. Her gele was neatly and moderately layered in a matching tone to frame her beautiful face.
To complement the ensemble, Priscilla Ojo wore a matching purple asooke gele sculpted into a soft crown by Sammy Inventions, and a regal ipele that fell gracefully across one shoulder. Her jewellery, courtesy of Boz Jewellery, featured a delicate leaf-inspired necklace paired with matching drop earrings—an elegant, understated choice that perfectly complemented her bridal look. Although barely visible, she wore stylish, embellished magenta pumps to match her beaded hand fan.
Let’s not forget the beauty! Brides always have an extra glow around them on their wedding day, and Priscilla was no different. Her makeup featured soft, smokey eye look, nude glossy lips, and a rich bronze highlight that played off her outfit perfectly.
Juma effortlessly complemented her energy with a matching royal blue agbada embroidered with orange and magenta motifs. Layered with a matching cap, traditional metallic beads, polished shoes, and styled with a regal purple staff topped with a carved map of Africa, his look was proudly cultural and poetic. A perfect representation of the Nigerian-Tanzanian union. The beauty of this first look was in the drama of the silhouette—structured yet romantic, modern yet deeply cultural.
Culture and couture: Priscilla Ojo & Juma Jux’s second look
Just when we thought we’d seen it all, the couple stunned us with their second look—a breathtaking fusion of tradition and maximalist artistry. Rich, textured, and timeless, this look is reminiscent of a vintage Nollywood romance, channelling culture and couture.
Priscilla glistened in a custom Emagine by Bukola silver lace gown—a walking constellation. A sculpted, form-fitting dress, it was a beaded fantasy sparkling with hand-embellished stones, weaving sequins and crystals—emerald, emethyst, silver and ruby—into a stunning outcome. The intricate 3d floral appliqués trail her long sleeves and the deep V bodice, adding a whimsical detail to the symmetrical lines of her neck and corseted waist. The bottom of the dress featured a slight flare out in a structured, fish-scale shimmer that caught every flash and twirl. It wasn’t just a dress; it was the moment.
She accessorised this look with a crimson maroon beaded clutch and matching ruby-studded necklace, complementing her opulent Sego gele tied in moderately sculptural layers.
Her makeup was more defined this time—darker brows, elevated highlighter matching her sparkle, bronzed out eyeshadow, but maintaining the nude lips to highlight her accessories.
Juma Jux stands tall beside her in his velvet maroon-toned agbada. Pink and green embroidered motifs, white coral beads, and a royal black staff luxuriously highlight his look. His matching maroon fila ties the look together, presenting a perfect harmony of masculine elegance and intentional coordination.
The outfits from #JP2025 were purposeful, grand, and poetic. Each look felt like a carefully written love letter to tradition and individuality. Together with Juma Jux, Priscilla Ojo didn’t just host a wedding; she gave us a definition of cultural style with contemporary fashion.
