Hawa Magaji chose grace and power over noise as she celebrated Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, and she did it draped in a masterpiece.
The media personality and style muse stepped out in a breathtaking emerald-and-ivory gown crafted by Ijeoma Ihentuge, the visionary founder and CEO of the luxury Nigerian fashion house, Omalified. The dress is a love letter to Nigeria itself — a sculptural wave of deep green pleats and pearl-white accents, twisting dramatically from shoulder to hem. Its fluid yet commanding silhouette evokes the strength and resilience of the Nigerian spirit, while delicate florals tucked into the waist whisper hope and renewal.

Hawa’s glam was a study in understated perfection: soft, glowing makeup by celebrity artist Annabelle, sleek hair laid to perfection by Adefunke, and striking portraits captured by Photo Klassik that frame her as both queen and storyteller.

But it was her words that sealed the moment. “Nigeria is not perfect, but she is ours. And in her, I see beauty and the courage of a people who never give up, even when it’s hardest to keep going. 65 years later, that resilience is our true independence.”
A vision in green and white, Hawa reminded us that style can be patriotic, and hope is always in fashion.
