It’s Yemi Alade!
Yesterday (Saturday, September 16), Yemi Alade brought her signature eccentric style to the soil of New York City — and not just in the music video.
As the Goodwill Ambassador for the UN development program representing Africa, the Nigerian Afropop singer attended and performed at the opening of the SDG Action Weekend — an initiative that convened stakeholders, UN entities, and Member States inside the United Nations to set out specific commitments and contributions to drive SDG transformation between now and 2030.

Her blazer designed by Shitta Athena Prisca featured a dramatic butterfly effect as a pleated material is sewn across the shoulders. The 34-year-old star maintained the Barbie-inspired theme with coordinating tassel earrings and completed the look with pink lips and Bantu Knots hairstyle.

“Thank you, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, for inviting my team and I to be part of this important call to action for each and every one of us on planet Earth.” She concluded the post by demonstrating her role as the UN Goodwill ambassador, writing: “Let peace and love reign 💖 ✌️.”
Alade also seized the opportunity to explore the city with chic snapshots of herself pounding the pavements of NY.

We always knew she was not a regular Afropop singer, after all, she’s Yemi Alade, a style maverick in her own right. So how could we expect anything less?
