The streets of Ijebu Ode, Ogun state, came alive with Ojude Oba 2025. A cultural fashion takeover in which well crafted outfits, vibrant materials, and bold fashion accessories prevailed.

This year’s event witnessed a flux of celebrities from Nollywood such as Wale Ojo, Ibrahim Chatta, Lateef Adedimeji, Femi Branch, street-hop sensation Lil Kesh, rap icon Vector, and media personality Dod2tun, among others, who arrived in magnificent regalia that lit up social media and sent fans into a frenzy.

Their participation not only offered a modern touch but also highlighted the festival's rising appeal as a cultural red carpet event.

Ojude Oba 2025 was more than just a celebration; it was a cultural highlight. From the Awujale's speech to the stunning parades by age-grade groups (the regberegbes), the festival combined history and trend, tradition and innovation.

This year's fashion display transformed the streets into its runway. Some arrived on horses, carrying on their family's long-standing equestrian tradition, while others walked in as if they were on a red carpet.
