Zlatan Ibile and Davita Omoniyi’s Pre-Wedding Photos: A First Look at Their Big Day Style

Wedding bells are ringing in Zlatan Ibile’s world, and this time the excitement has nothing to do with a new single or music video. The Afrobeats star, born Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, is preparing to celebrate his love for longtime partner Davita Omoniyi with a grand wedding ceremony on 24 October 2026. While the couple’s plans for the big day remain under wraps, their pre-wedding photographs are already offering plenty to admire, from the thoughtful colour choices to the fashion and the easy closeness they share in front of the camera.

A Relationship Built Over Years

Zlatan and Davita have been together for years and share two children. Davita, a UK-based media personality and entrepreneur, reportedly took on the Omoniyi surname following their private civil registry ceremony earlier this year. With their wedding celebration now approaching, the couple are preparing to mark another chapter of their relationship surrounded by family and friends.

The Pre-Wedding Photoshoot: Colour and Contrast

For their official pre-wedding portraits, celebrity stylist Emmanuel Goodnews Icon brought together a lovely combination of pastel ice blue and blush pink against a rich teal studio backdrop. The colours worked beautifully together, with Davita’s gown and Zlatan’s tailored outfit offering two different takes on the same palette.

Davita's Custom Gown

Davita wore a strapless mermaid gown by Lasosa By Pam Pam, featuring micro-pleating and ruching across the bodice. The fitted silhouette opened into a voluminous bubble-hem train made from bubblegum pink taffeta, creating an interesting contrast of structure and volume. She completed her look with a high braided ponytail, glowing makeup, a classic tennis necklace and matching diamond jewellery.

Zlatan's Bespoke Suit

Beside her, Zlatan wore a bespoke light blue two-piece suit by T.I Nathan. His jacket featured a structured mandarin collar and concealed button placket, paired with relaxed wide-leg trousers. Dark wire-frame glasses and black patent leather shoes completed his look, keeping the styling simple while allowing the tailoring and colour to take centre stage.

A Striking Backdrop and a Sense of Closeness

The rich teal backdrop made the soft colours of their outfits even more striking, while their poses brought a lovely sense of closeness to the portraits. With 24 October just around the corner, the couple have given a beautiful first look at their wedding style, leaving plenty of curiosity about what they will wear when the celebrations begin.
