f I had a penny for every time I said “the holiday spirits,” I’d be swimming in a pool of money. But it’s almost delusional to ignore the energy out here.

Simply put, Lagos is ready and the celebs are outside, pumped with the holiday vibe and rendering looks that deliver. If you are still sorting out your last-minute looks for all the events you emotionally agreed to attend, don’t call in sick at the last minute. Peruse these Nigerian celebrity looks for maximum slay.
These Nigerian celeb styles are giving exactly what they should give…
#1. Black minis
As colorful as the season presents itself, a black mini outfit should be ready in your closet. Rita Dominic got the message and donned an Elvira Jude peplum top and asymmetric hem mini skirt to a fine conclusion. The embellished details on the top evoked the same chic vibe as her glossy platform heels and Lady Dior bag. The only dash of color was her red lippie, which had no other choice but to pop and give this look a refined feel. This is one Nigerian celeb style to adopt this season as trusted colors like black shouldn’t be negotiable.
#2. White boubou
A sleek boubou is the number one rich Aunty look in the Lagos streets. Ex-BBN star, Liquorose proved this in an all-white sheer agbada from Elegante by Kikelomo. She vamped the coordination with a statement pearl necklace and earrings. This is a luxe getup that works for most occasions because casual is boring this season.
#3. The corset factor
Over centuries, corsets have maintained relevance in women’s fashion. It’s easy to see why as a simple way to portray femininity with fashion is to play up your frame. While some might prefer less figure-flaunting coordination others choose to emphasize it. Tiwa Savage often chooses to do both. But this time, she decided to flaunt her curves in a House of CB black number with a crepe corset bodice and silky satin draped skirt. The luxe textures make this a perfect black tie look. You can opt for a simple pearl necklace to flatter the strapless neckline.
#4. Dolled up
It’s one thing to choose a mini dress, and another to opt for one with a personality. Actress, Adunni Ade did the latter in an off-the-shoulder Jeaneel Couture dress with exaggerated sleeves that cascaded into a flowy train. The embellished number was in sync with her metallic mini bag, catching the light with each sway. She completed the look with open-toe heels and a sleek hairdo that allowed her bare neckline to take its moment. This outfit is a wedding guest favorite.
#5. Snatched in red
Being trendy and distinct is an art, and Ini Edo found a way to do it in this red number that advocated for holiday shenanigans. After all, what screams Christmas like the red hue? If you have a red carpet event or a birthday shoot on your calendar this season, take inspiration from Edo and turn heads. The secret is to keep the hair, face beat, and accessorizing at a bare minimum as the dress is an occasion in itself.
#6. Blue-tiful structures
It’s clear that high slits aren’t taking the back seat as the detail has continued to mark its territory on most frocks, especially those worn to high-profile events. This ubiquitous Nigerian celeb style understands how to flatter a woman’s frame, and this blue number on Osas Ighodaro is proof. She paired the shoulder-padded Tubo number with silver bow-detailed heels that jazzed things up.
#7. Tye dye raffia
Embracing traditional textures and updating them for contemporary fashion is a fashion-forward train of thought. Fashion designer, Sandrah Tubobereni played this card in an Éki Kéré offering that was simple but outstanding. The fit, a tye-dye skirt with raffia details styled with a white button-down shirt and a pink structured bag, is a laidback but stylish way to welcome the festivities.
