It was the premiere of “Gingerrr” recently and it turned out a celebration of style as much as it was of film. With a Peaky Blinders-inspired theme, the red carpet turned into a playground for 1920s glamour with a modern twist.
Celebrity guests fully embraced the theme, from sharply tailored three-piece suits and flat caps to vintage-inspired dresses and cloche hats. It was a nod to the era’s structured, bold look, with a touch of contemporary flair that kept it fresh.
Making it a Nollywood all-star lineup whose fiery charisma drives the film, and Bolaji Ogunmola, who brings depth to the unraveling mystery. They’re joined by the cast – Bukola Adeeyo, Bisola Aiyeola, Kamo State, Wunmi Toriola, Timini Egbuson, Ope Ajayi, and KieKie, who doubles as the creative director, infusing the project with her signature flair.
Adding a local spin, some guests wove traditional fabrics like asooke and adire into their outfits. The combination of heritage prints with Peaky Blinders silhouettes gave the looks a unique edge, showing creativity and respect for Nigerian textiles.
Funke Akindele, Veekee James, Lilian Afegbai, Adesua Etomi, Blessing Nze, Ini Dima–Okojie, and Tola Odunsi all found ways to bring the theme to life in their own style, balancing the vintage with the distinctly modern.
The result was a red carpet that was stylish, inventive, and memorable. Proof that following a theme can be both bold and fun. ‘Gingerrr’ is a bold addition to Nollywood’s 2025 slate, delivering a fresh mix of mystery, comedy, and drama that keeps viewers guessing.
‘Gingerrr’ stands out for its modern storytelling and its ability to balance humor with suspense, making it a standout in Nollywood’s evolving landscape. ‘Gingerrr’ hits cinemas nationwide on September 26, 2025.
