On a Wednesday evening at Salma’s, guests arrived expecting a typical Lagos launch but were instead transported to a setting inspired by a Spanish coastal village, where the gin carried notes of olive groves and sea breeze.

From the moment guests stepped into the transformed venue, everything felt intentionally different. The scent of fresh rosemary filled the air, citrus fruit installations created Instagram-worthy backdrops, and the lighting captured that summer…

And let’s not forget the award, because everything about Liquorose’s look to the Trendupp Awards was a complete win.

Her gown was a black sequined masterpiece that glistened with every move, giving off that old-school Hollywood allure with a modern twist.
