As Rita Dominic-Anosike celebrated her 50th birthday, the moment called for more than just glamour, it demanded grace, legacy, and meaning. Rising to that call is Nigerian luxury fashion house TUBO, who crafted a custom couture that embodied everything Rita has to represent over the last three decades: poise, power, and timeless elegance. The couture doesn’t just fit, but frames her legacy. Steeped in elegance, and rooted in heritage.

The gown, sculpted in warm ivory, is more than a dress. It stands as a cultural emblem, soft pleated tulle layered over a boned corset, framing Rita’s silhouette with elegant restraint. Hand-strung coral beads and crystal embellishments trace tribal motifs along the bodice and skirt, blending ancestral heritage with modern couture.

In a recent online post, Tubo describes Rita as “A golden queen full of grace, beauty, and strength” and this masterpiece was made to embody and align with the poise, purpose, and legacy of who she is. “I didn’t design this dress around Rita’s milestone. I designed for who she is,” says Sandrah Tubobereni. “It had to feel authentic. It needed to breathe with her.”

The design was masterfully executed, showcasing an elegant simplicity that highlights the couture’s strength and softness, blending modern touches with a nod of tradition. It beautifully balanced the artistry of fashion becoming a stunning piece. 

While Rita Dominic is celebrated for her bold fashion choices, this look felt particularly special. It transcended mere style, becoming a visual tribute to a woman who is confidently in charge of her own narrative. In this dress, her story radiated with clarity, confidence, and a quiet strength.
