The dedication reception for baby Eliana Adeife Atere, daughter of Veekee James and Femi Atere, turned into one of the most talked-about style moments of the week, as guests fully embraced the event's #ElianasFruitGarden dress code.

After a church service where the couple appeared in coordinated all-white outfits for the dedication itself, the reception told an entirely different visual story. Guests arrived in a burst of colour, with chartreuse yellow, burnt orange, and sunshine tones dominating the room, alongside statement fascinators that turned nearly every look into a mini spectacle.

Fascinators Took Centre Stage

Rather than the usual understated headpieces, many guests opted for bold, sculptural fascinators built from feathers, leaves, and florals, each one designed to tie directly into the fruit garden theme.

Hawa Magaji arrived in a flowing chartreuse chiffon gown with an embellished corset, finished off with an oversized green floral headpiece that matched her dress. Tomike Adeoye leaned into warm autumn tones with a fitted, sequin-detailed burnt orange dress, a coordinating leaf-and-feather fascinator, and a small Jacquemus bag in the same shade. Kiky Festus brought the brightness up several notches in a ruched sunshine yellow mini dress, paired with a towering hot pink feather fascinator and matching heels.

More Guests Who Nailed the Brief

The fruit garden theme continued to inspire creative interpretations across the guest list. Mercy Eke opted for a white floral-print gown accented with a delicate pink wire-frame fascinator and a designer handbag, while Priscilla Ojo chose a pleated olive green halterneck dress finished with a structured halo headpiece and a bright yellow clutch for contrast.

Frances Theodore rounded out the standout looks in a corseted olive-yellow midi dress with a beaded neckline, matched with a sculpted mesh fascinator that echoed the overall theme of the day.

A Dress Code Guests Took Seriously

Themed dress codes at Nigerian celebrations can be hit or miss, but the guests at baby Eliana's dedication reception clearly took the brief to heart. From gown silhouette to headpiece design, the #ElianasFruitGarden theme showed up consistently across the room, turning the celebration into a full style moment worth talking about.
