Even on days short of dazzling events, there will always be an inspiring dose of sartorial energy in the Lasgidi streets. Despite the apparent lull in happenings, Naija style stars didn’t find an excuse to hit the breaks on their personal fashion shows. From an effortless mix of sequins and feather trimmings to understated tweed delights, it seems the festivities have already sprinkled their spirits onto Nigeria’s style scene.
Fashion’s influence permeates our daily lives — evident in the social media pages of our favorite celebrities, the corridors of our workplaces, and even within the walls of our places of worship. It transcends mere clothing; but embodies a lifestyle, communicates a language, and defines one’s personality. These cool looks from Nigerian style stars will further prove that you don’t need a big event to look impressive.
Check out the chic looks spotted on Naija style stars and influencers lately…
#1. Sheer and fringes
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo made it a mission to sizzle our IG TL with her sheer shimmering mini number with navy blue fringe trims. Its appeal stretched beyond the fit to the witty way she styled the sheer trend that’s still on the frontline. From her embellished pink heels to her crystal-studded clutch and silver aviators, the actress was determined to slay and she succeeded.
#2. High-sheen elegance
Mo Abudu, Nigeria’s media mogul and ultimate boss lady, is renowned for her obsession with pristine looks, and this high-sheen coordination ticks the box again. Her metallic coat rocked with a matching satin tank blouse and pants spoke fluently of elegance that doesn’t try to be noticed. You can think of this look as a proclamation of her enduring style power!
#3. Classic tweeds
Kiki Osibanjo said tweeds aren’t going anywhere, and we agree. This gray collared mini dress served to reiterate this for those at the back. She paired the look with a black Chanel purse and chic stilettos in a way that undoubtedly raised the bar for minimalism.
#4. Easy breezy
The ever-stylish YouTuber, Dinma Umeh took oversized clothing to a structured tour in a maxi Atafo set. Striped prints, exaggerated pockets, wide-leg bottoms, and patched denim sleeves all merged in unison. Indeed, baggy can be bold, trendy, and an absolute showstopper when done right.
#5. A different kinda formality
Now, more than ever, brown tones are giving. Tania Omotayo understands this and chose to stun in this hue. She recently sported a brown Emmy Kasbit pantsuit styled with a green graphic sheer bodysuit underneath. Formal and sensual collided, and the result? Femme fatale. Omotayo took a suit and turned it into a celebration of individuality.
#6. Knits and tints
Beverly Naya rendered warmth and chic in a fine wool dress by Hertunba that featured tassel trims. Cool, right? But that’s not the best part. Thanks to this look, the magic of royal blue on dark skin was on full display. Naya’s fit is a statement-worthy proof that blue is more than a color. It’s a graceful hue for the unapologetically melaniated ladies! Perhaps, it’s going to be a blue Christmas.
#7. Shimmers and clouds
The shimmer on Anita Adetoye was enough to light up the night at a Moët & Chandon event. The celebrity makeup artist snapped in a black glittery off-shoulder dress with dreamy white puffy sleeves. Glitters met clouds in this coordination, and it resulted in a shimmering love affair.
