Damilola Adegbite’s Dress Game Is Two for Two — and We’re Still Not Over It

Listen. At this point, Damilola Adegbite could host a masterclass in “How to Shut It Down in a Floor-Sweeping Train.” Twice now, she’s stepped out draped in ethereal, sheer drama—and both times, we’ve saved, zoomed in, and screamed “add to moodboard” like our lives depended on it.

Let’s rewind to the 11th AMVCA, where she floated in wearing a nude mesh gown that knew exactly what it was doing. The neckline? Deep and plunging. The slit? High and purposeful. The vibe? Regal, thanks to that choker-style neckline that said “yes, I came to collect crowns.” With gold heels peeking through and a sleek, pulled-back hair moment, it was giving grown, glam, and gorgeously unbothered.

And then came her 40th birthday. Now, some people do cake and dinner. Damilola? She did full-on goddess energy in a champagne-gold, crystal-drenched gown that looked like it was stitched by angels with good taste. The sweetheart neckline, the sculpted bodice, the train that went on forever—it was the kind of look that says, “I didn’t just turn 40. I rebranded it.”

So, AMVCA glow or birthday brilliance? We’re not choosing. We’re greedy like that. Give us both. Print them. Frame them. Manifest them into our lives.

Check out the looks below and prepare to fall in love twice.
