Fresh from her headline-making appearance at the 2025 Ojude Oba Festival as the most recognised female rider, Princess Adesile brought the spirit and splendour of Ijebu Ode to the international fashion stage. Stepping onto the runway at Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) 2025, she did more than walk, she embodied heritage, elegance, and cultural pride.

As the official Cultural Face of AFWL 2025, Princess Adesile was a showstopper in the celebrity filled David Wej showcase, a collection that paid powerful homage to the Ijebu people. Her first appearance radiated tailored sophistication, followed by a striking Ojude Oba inspired regalia by Blackadudu, paired with a statement bag by Tote Londoner, a seamless fusion of tradition and high fashion. She brought the runway to a spectacular close, leading the grand finale alongside regberegbes and fellow equestrian riders, bringing the essence of Ojude Oba right into the heart of London.

From the vibrant blue agbada ensemble adorned with coral beads and a feathered headpiece, to the bold yellow-and-navy aso-oke layers, Princess Adesile’s looks were a visual love letter to Yoruba heritage. Every stride down the runway echoed the same confidence and cultural pride she displays on horseback, proving that whether in the arena or on the catwalk, she rides for history.

Her AFWL debut wasn’t just a fashion highlight; it was a cultural statement, bridging worlds and audiences, and cementing her position as one of today’s most captivating cultural ambassadors.
