ouchdown Lagos — the city that never sleeps. Just as there’s always a fun place in Lagos blustering with folks who want to let their hair down, there’s no sleeping on the fashion side either. When it comes to fashion, Lagosians understand how to leverage intricate details to elevate basic clothing, and we’ve seen a good number of that recently. If the colors choose to lay low, the cuts scream in contrast, resulting in notable moments that underscores the city’s affinity for fashion that delivers.
Judging from numerous representations, the season officially calls for a taste of drama. If the fabrics aren’t spiraling to form a coordinated decoration, the prints become the well-deserved class act. With a vast fashion appetite, eating and leaving no crumbs was the response to the slay menu.
Check out the fashionable Lagosians from last week…
#1. Toke Makinwa
Sheer is to a frame what toppings are to pizza. Toke Makinwa stepped out for a fun night in the city of Lagos in a purple Banke Kuku number. The delicate fabric against her luscious skin was a femme fatale result, and the high slit offered an expedient gratification. When your dress parts into a sexy slit, let the shoes be the finishing punctuation.
#2. Adeola C. Adeyemi
Black girl luxury is often expressed in a style that resonates with your personality. It’s an intentional self-awareness act and a commitment to choosing the best life has to offer. We say all these to herald a lush, draped dress with superior textures and a beautiful woman with a knowing strut. Businesswoman Adeola Adeyemi chose to dazzle in an off-white mono-sleeve dress styled with a silver mini bag and strappy metallic heels. This look should be enlisted in a curation of 1000 ways to look rich instantly. A full serve.

#3. Bolanle Olukanni
Dressed in a sleek African print two-piece, Bolanle Olukanni soft launched her upcoming show. The LadyBeellionaire offering featured a sequin decoration at the jacket’s hem, while the belt and sleeves interior were cut from a different cloth (literally). Suits will always be a mature and conservative option for the person who loves to make a sophisticated statement.
#4. Bunmi George
Snatched in a metallic midi dress by Desirée Iyama, fitness enthusiast Bunmi George emphasized why she’s the apple of her husband’s eye. It may come off as a simple midi dress, but the conspicuous floral detail, cinched waist, and texture set this look on a pedestal. This is what you wear to show off your revenge body. A sight for sore eyes.
#5. Mimi Onalaja
Tie-dye prints on a boubou dress spices up the otherwise relaxed concept. Yes, it automatically becomes fun and makes you look like a bag of money. Mimi Onalaja showed how it’s done in a Bloom by FBD dress to celebrate the Ramadan holidays on the Gram. When rocking a boubou, put your energy into the textures and colors to show out.
#6. Diana Eneje
Diana Eneje wore a corset top with spiral layers on the bust and sleeves. She styled it with a high-slit skirt ruched at the hips. The combo was a complete wedding guest ensemble that will introduce you to a crowd even without words spoken. She finished the look with multicolor sandal heels to throw more weight on the cool asymmetric top.
