The now-iconic fashion figure made a triumphant return to the Ojude Oba Festival 2025, reminding everyone once again why he holds the unofficial title of King of steeze. But this year? He didn’t just serve one look, he delivered a fashion double-header.

Farooq’s first appearance was nothing short of cinematic. He arrived in a flowing agbada ensemble woven from deep, earthy tones, browns, beiges, and hints of tan, layered with precise geometric embroidery in brown, gold, and navy blue. The embroidery wasn’t just decorative, it created visual structure, forming sharp lines and patterns across the chest and sleeves, giving the outfit a bold, architectural feel.

His accessories? Impeccable. He paired the look with a chocolate-brown fila (cap) and carried a vintage-style walking stick, a nod to Yoruba nobility. And then like a scene out of a royal procession he rode into the arena on horseback, turning heads and cameras alike. The visual? A regal blend of heritage, masculinity, and quiet confidence.

Later in the day, Farooq returned and this time, he brought colour. His second outfit was a vibrant green and yellow agbada, heavily embroidered with leaf-like and spiral motifs, evoking the patterns of growth and elegance. The embroidery swirled across the collar and sleeves, catching the sunlight and drawing attention to the craftsmanship.

He wore the agbada over tailored green trousers, with cuffs finished in a yellow trim that echoed the agbada’s accents. A coordinated green-and-yellow fila sat snugly on his head, tying the palette together perfectly.

But it was the accessories that took this look into unforgettable territory. Coral red beads draped across his neck, a rich contrast against the green fabric. Dark sunglasses, adding a modern edge.  A gold wristwatch, a timeless flex

The entire look was a masterclass in cultural sophistication, a celebration of Yoruba tradition with the swagger of a modern-day icon.

Farooq Oreagba’s return to Ojude Oba isn’t just about fashion. It’s a reminder that culture can evolve without losing its soul. That style is a language, and he’s fluent in both the heritage and the future. In a space where tradition meets pop culture, he’s leading the conversation without saying a word.
