tyle speaks one language — an amalgamation of effort and skill. Without the latter, the former falters, rendering one’s endeavors futile. Bearing this truth in mind, it’s evident that Lagos fashionistas embody the essence of authentic style. With each occasion they grace, precision becomes their hallmark, as they effortlessly showcase their flair. Whether it’s a breezy maxi dress or a polished suit, these style stars know just how to work a fit, perfectly tailored to the event at-hand.
Lagos celebrities and influencers also understand the craft of playing with hues. Last week, while some went bold in full code red, others chose calmer tints with personal style in mind. Little wonder the city is the center of excellence. From fashion to commerce, the best often emanates from this headquarters of tenacity and attention to detail.
Check out the latest Lagos celebrity fashion looks that made a mark…
#1. Tiwa Savage
Queen T pulled off the WAG aesthetic in an oversized blazer and baseball hat offering for her Water and Garri press tour. Underneath the jacket, she revealed a sleeveless mini dress that clung to her body, juxtaposing the blazer’s effect. For uniformity, white pumps surrendered the look to a coordinated finish. As easy as this looks, it scored an A for execution.
#2. Linda Ikeji
These days, ripped streetwear pieces call the shots thanks to Ye and Balenciaga. Think a ripped sweater dress styled with tights or denim-on-denim coordination. Media mogul Linda Ikeji adopted a quick Londoner vibe as she headed out in the city’s lights. She layered a mini distressed sweater dress on a white collared shirt styled with sheer tights and white pumps. The look is a spicy finish to any city girl’s night out.

#3. Osas Ighodaro
Nollywood actress, Osas Ighodaro was a sight for sore eyes at the Time 100 gala. She stepped out elegantly clad in a fine Dorhann outfit. The train flaunted multiple ruffles, matching the texture of the sleeves. The monochrome look was a clash of textures, which cumulatively added to her rizz and beauty. The color combo — blue and silver — was the icing on the cake.
#4. Tacha
RED-y or not, Tacha will always come correct. Bold takes often favor the audacious ex-BBNaija housemate’s personality. Mixing business and fun in a Medlin Couture suit, the reality star turned heads. Featuring a shoulder-padded beaded cropped jacket with a pleated mini skirt, the offering was polished with a side serving of sass. She paired this with embellished red pumps and a gold clutch that gathered in solidarity to show off how it’s done. As vast as Lagos celebrity fashion can get, dressing according to the occasion is common knowledge.
#5. Powede Awujo
In recent times, the all-over print fad soft-pedaled with minimalism sitting firmly at the helm of style affairs. But like every tenacious trend, they pick up, snatch the baton, and ferociously target the front lines. Style influencer, Powede Awujo opted for comfy fashion in a colorful, printed two-piece by Nigerian designer Wanni Fuga. Building on the hue splash, she engaged a mini Marté Egele orange bag into the mix. For that rich Aunty-themed weekend soiree, a stylish and comfortable set understands the assignment.

#6. Lilian Afegbai
“Akanchawa Baddie,” as she calls herself, played with related colors on the palette and ate. She wore a fitted Leila Gaby two-toned midi dress with a complementary handbag. Slicked to a pony, Lily Afe’s hair was laid to perfection, her face beat minimal, and her accessories understated. Everything came together for a stylish get-up that can be replicated for the office or seminar.
#7. Stephanie Coker
Be like Stephanie Coker, and woo a sleek maxi dress into your collection. They come in handy even at the most unlikely moments. Styling these dresses can be easy when you know your onions. Simply let the prints talk or choose one with a distinct detail. Perhaps a mesh or silk texture, an interesting print, or consider a draped dress that flatters the frame.
