Chef Chi stuns in a Black mini dress and lace stockings as she marks a new age with steamy studio photos, weeks after stealing the show at Coachella.
She went from Coachella cowgirl to birthday bombshell, and Nigeria cannot get enough.
Chioma Adeleke, wife of Afrobeats superstar Davido, is celebrating her 31st birthday today, April 30, and she has done it the only way Chef Chi knows how, with class, curves and a whole lot of lingerie.
The celebrity chef and model dropped a series of jaw-dropping studio photos on Instagram that have already sent fans and fellow celebrities into a frenzy.
In the shoot, Chioma ditches the birthday cake for something far spicier. She poses in a skin-tight black mini dress with a plunging neckline, paired with sheer black lace-top stockings. The lighting is pure editorial, with dramatic window shadows cutting across a stark white studio.
In one shot, she is sprawled on the floor, legs stretched out, serving smouldering eyes to the camera. In another, she turns to the side, showing off her famous silhouette in the bodycon dress. Other frames see her perched on a silver chair, legs crossed, arms folded, giving full supermodel energy with glossy waves, smoky eyes and nude gloss.
It is a far cry from the apron, and it is intentional. This is Chioma 3.1, the businesswoman, the brand, the muse.
The birthday shoot comes after a massive month for the mother of twins. Just two weeks ago, Chioma was front row at Coachella 2026 in California, cheering on her husband as he headlined. The couple went viral in matching “cowboy and cowgirl” denim and fringe looks, with Chioma stealing almost as many headlines as Davido’s set.
She is also cashing in on her fashion moment. Chioma continues her lucrative partnership with international beauty giant Juvia’s Place, recently fronting their new campaign, cementing her status as more than just a WAG; she is a full-blown influencer and style star in her own right.
Tributes have poured in since midnight. Davido led the charge with a private family celebration in Lagos, while colleagues like Peruzzi and celebrity chef Hilda Baci posted loving messages calling her “the queen of grace.”
Thirty-one and thriving. From whipping up recipes to whipping necks at Coachella, and now whipping the internet into a frenzy in lace stockings, Chioma is done playing the supportive wife. She is the superstar in her own right.
Happy birthday, Chef Chi. Thirty-one looks dangerously good on you.
