Former Miss Aura Nigeria 2024, Joy Oranezi, marked her birthday with the poise of a queen and the splendor of a star, adorned in an enchanting couture piece by Port Harcourt-based demi-couture artisan, Tice Grandiose.

The exquisite piece, a white-and-gold corseted mini dress with a dramatic lavender train, captured the very soul of nobility, glory, and grace—a sartorial sonnet befitting her journey.
Joy, who dazzled the world last year by breaking into the Top 20 of Miss Aura International 2024 in Turkey, continues to reign as a beacon of excellence and elegance in Nigeria’s pageant world. With the majesty of a Shakespearean heroine, she declared in a birthday post:
“On my special day, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have such an amazing life. Grateful for every moment.”

Indeed, her journey reads like poetry, a starlet of substance who first stole hearts at the Exquisite Queen Nigeria World competition and has since remained a darling of both runway and goodwill. With beauty that rivals Juliet and a mind as bold as Portia’s, she is one of Nigeria’s most cherished queens.
For her birthday glam, Vera, a Lagos-based celebrity makeup artist, wove her magic with soft, sultry glam, while the lens of Segun Wealth captured Joy in timeless frames worthy of Versailles walls.
