Miss International Nigeria 2026, Damilola Bolarinde, has officially touched down in Tokyo for the 64th Miss International Beauty Pageant, and she brought major power-suit energy to the arrival terminal.
She shared the news with her followers online. “Konnichiwa, Japan! The warmth of the Japanese hospitality has already stolen my heart,” she wrote, promising to bring the “vibrant energy, strength, and grace of Nigeria” to the global stage.

Bolarinde stepped off the plane, serving absolute style. She wore a bespoke burnt orange double-breasted suit by Kaalon Luxury, designed by Charles Richard Aghedo. The look featured wide-leg trousers layered over a striped shirt, topped with a long striped coat draped effortlessly over her shoulders. A sleek low bun, glossy burgundy pointed heels, and subtle earrings completed the high-fashion moment.
The flawless execution came courtesy of a stacked glam squad. Celebrity makeup artist Okemute Paul Samuel handled her soft-glam editorial face, while Lii Signature, founded by Louis Ihuefo, styled the sleek hair. Odogwu of Jewellery provided the statement accessories.
