ome days you’re on top of your style game, serving back-to-back looks that catch the eye. Other days it seems you’re in a closet pickle and everything you throw on looks like an utter travesty of fashion. Dressing to pack a punch can be quite a task. While you try to put in the effort, it might end up being too much or too little. So how do you ensure you play a winning card each time you leave the house?
The next stop is to step out of your know-how and draw motivation from those whose wheels are still running fine. To hit that mark, we’ve collated beautiful looks from popular Nigerian celebrities. These are the ones who can tweak a simple blazer into a high-fashion delight and straighten out any doubt you ever had about oversize pleated pairings. Simply put, if you ever encounter a style rut, dial-up Nigerian fashionistas to spring you out of inertia.
Check out the interesting looks seen on popular Nigerian celebrities that punctuated the Lagos fashion scene…
#1. Creme de la class
In the world of bright and striking colors, cream never tries too hard to be noticed. Oftentimes, it is seen as a gentle shade that serves old money vibes. This is also an advantage because while all eyes seem blinded by a spectrum of bright colors, a classy cream outfit is quiet in its luxurious expressions. Celebrity chef and Guinness World-Record-breaker Hilda Baci served bawdy oddy in a cream bodycon dress with minimal jewelry and a wavy hairdo. Her melanin fiercely popping on purpose and an aura of elegance heralded this look perfectly.
#2. Metallics for the win
Nigerian actress Toni Tones released more shots from her Guardian Life Magazine feature, and this look from Medlin Boss packed a full punch. This is one number you rock to elevate your rizz and announce your presence in a room full of baddies. The brown mini dress and shimmering heels had one thing in common: sparkle like a diamond. And her glowing, brown skin added more allure.
#3. Bold prints
Another way to incorporate major glam is by wearing a bold print dress. One of the main reasons why bold print dresses are so attention-grabbing is their ability to create a visually cohesive and streamlined appearance. By sticking to a single print, every element of the dress — from its intricate patterns to its fabric — becomes part of a unified whole. The boldness of the print commands the viewer’s attention, drawing their gaze to the intricate details and captivating design. Eku Edewor‘s blazer dress by Fruche exudes a sense of confidence and sophistication, helping her make a statement without being noisy.
#4. Blinged drip
Talented artiste Simisola Bolatito Kosoko (Simi) wore a monochrome skirt set by John Davidson to the Nigerian Idol live eviction show. The highlight of this look was the catchy embellishments and Simi’s high energy. With the clever use of stones, crystals, glass, or choice adornments, you can effortlessly infuse glam into your ensemble. Popular Nigerian celebrities have been spotted finessing different embellishments in countless ways. These sparkling accents have the power to make a statement and catch the eye of onlookers, unequivocally enhancing your appearance.
#5. Black power
A black dress has an undeniable allure that can make anyone stand out in public. Black is often associated with minimalism and its power lies in its ability to command attention without doing too much. The Yvet Elizabeth dress worn by Anna Banner is a classic example of Black Power. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the beauty queen’s number was intriguing, to say the least. A dress like this creates an air of confidence in a subtle and refined manner.
#6. Tulle-tally ethereal
It goes without saying that every woman should keep a tulle dress for special events. When it comes to allure, only a few fabrics can measure up to it. Tulle, with its lightweight and sheer composition, adds a delicate appeal to an otherwise basic appearance.
For her birthday shoot, Veekee James donned a cadet gray tulle dress, its layers of floating fabric gracefully dancing around her catching the light and creating an enchanting visual display. The number championed the beauty of the fabric: soft-spoken yet with reverberating sartorial exploits.
#7. Pretty pleats
Maxis and oversized outfits have long been at the forefront of fashion trends. When it comes to injecting her unique oomph, Mimi Onalaja tends to answer the call with volume. This time, her combination of an oversized button-down shirt by Zara tucked into pleated breezy pants by Bloom by FBD created an irresistible duo made in style heaven.
The beauty of the maxi outfit lies not only in its ability to capture comfort and style in one shot but also in its accessibility. It’s easy to style and can be worn anywhere. Also, the timeless appeal of purple ensures it remains a popular choice for fashion enthusiasts and trendsetters alike.
