Rave Glam Red Carpet: Standout Looks at the Tele x Zikora Premiere

By On Oct 21, 2026

A Nollywood premiere always invites a bit of dressing up, but when the invitation specifies “rave glam,” the red carpet is bound to look anything but ordinary. That was the mood at the premiere of Tele x Zikora, where cast members and guests arrived in bold colours, unexpected pairings and outfits that gave onlookers plenty to take in.

A Campus Romance Headed for Cinemas

Written, produced and directed by Adenike Adebayo–Esho, Tele x Zikora is a campus romance set at the fictional Lagos Metropolitan University. The story follows two young people from very different worlds whose paths cross, setting the stage for a love story. Ahead of its cinema release on 23 October 2026, the cast and crew gathered to celebrate, and the evening’s rave glam theme gave everyone room to experiment with their style.

Standout Looks From the Night

Sophia Chisom’s Unexpected Colour Pairing

Sophia Chisom delivered a colour combination that few would have put together immediately, and somehow it worked. She wore a royal blue longline coat over a matching top with a sharp white collar and cuffs, pairing both with a burnt-orange wrap mini skirt. An orange beret, star drop earrings and white knee-high boots completed her look.

Mike Afolarin’s Cow-Print Moment

Mike Afolarin took a different route with a cow-print shearling jacket, a black top and dark grey flared jeans featuring silver side-buckle details. He finished with a dark cap, keeping things casual while still having a little fun with the dress code.

Genoveva Umeh Goes Head-to-Toe Pink

Genoveva Umeh arrived in magenta and rose-pink sequins. Her dress featured structured shoulders and an asymmetrical skirt with long, shredded ribbons that moved as she walked. She paired it with deep pink tights and metallic heels, making a strong case for wearing pink from head to toe.
