When a premiere theme is clearly defined, the red carpet transforms from a routine fashion parade into a storytelling moment and the Love and New Notes premiere proved exactly that. With an 80s-inspired dress code set by lead actor Timini Egbuson, guests leaned into the decade’s unmistakable style language, delivering bold tailoring, expressive colour palettes, and nostalgic glamour with a contemporary finish.

Egbuson himself set the tone in a golden mustard suit that felt as though it stepped directly out of a classic 80s film scene. The sharply tailored double-breasted blazer, paired with wide-leg trousers, created a confident silhouette, while a burgundy patterned shirt introduced contrast and personality. Rose-tinted sunglasses added the final retro-cool detail, anchoring the theme with effortless precision.

From expressive prints to confident suiting, the Love and New Notes premiere demonstrated how decade-inspired dressing can feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern when executed with intention. With the Valentine’s film set to hit cinemas on February 13, the premiere served not only as a celebration of the movie’s debut but also as a reminder of fashion’s enduring ability to bring storytelling to life.
