Reimagining an African Patriot!

Jiri, as she’s fondly known as, slayed the favored Iro, Buba, and Ipele look from FRK’s well-known image in a sculpting costume with a aspect slit and shoulder piece, completely mimicking FRK for the Lagos-premiere of the namesake biopic by Bolanle Austen-Peters.
Turning heads and making historical past, Jiri’s FRK-inspired look was a powerful inventive transfer on the premiere, a real testomony to her fashion and brilliance that includes a meticulously crafted tube costume with fascinating stripe detailing and a plain higher bust strip that completely matched her shoulder piece. The stylish costume was layered with a white lace buba.
Jiri paired the breathtaking ensemble together with her locs styled right into a prime bun and bangs. She rocked a “no make-up” look and wore a easy pearl choker with matching pin-up pearl earrings.
