From Runway to Red Carpet: Folu Storms Dazzles in Iremitide at AFRIFF Opening Gala 2026

Folu Storms’ latest fashion moment is proof that more really is more.

The actress stepped out in a fresh-off-the-runway creation by Nigerian label Iremitide at the AFRIFF Opening Gala.

There’s plenty to take in here with the strapless, floor-length gown covered in oversized metallic gold paillettes. The overlapping discs create a striking, armour-like texture. We enjoy how the reflective finish brings movement and dimension to an otherwise streamlined silhouette.

A sleek, braided bun allowed the neckline to shine and delicate gold drop earrings from Symbols of Authority adding just the right amount of polish to this stellar look.
