Preparedness is an often underestimated trait, yet it’s one we should all strive to cultivate. This principle applies not just to career and life goals but also to everyday style. Interestingly, Nigerian celebrities seem to have mastered this fashion code to near perfection. Whether they’re spotted at a high-profile event or simply running errands, they consistently serve looks that scream effortlessness and intentionality. It’s a lesson in always being ready for the spotlight, even when you least expect it.
The past few weeks have been nothing short of a fashion extravaganza on the streets of Lagos. From high-profile events to casual outings, the city has become a runway for glamorous on-and-off-duty looks. Take, for instance, the Lagos Canvas event, which brought together dignitaries like the Governor of Lagos State and the crème de la crème of Nollywood. The style on display was nothing less than spectacular, with attendees serving head-turning ensembles that blended sophistication with creativity.
Meanwhile, as the new year progressed, stars were busy responding to their RSVPs in style, showcasing jaw-dropping outfits and Instagram-worthy moments. These looks weren’t just about making a fashion statement—they were a masterclass in how to turn heads and own the spotlight courtesy of Nigerian celebrities.
Check out how Nigerian celebrities delivered fashion at the Lagos Canvas and other events…
#1. Ini Dima Okojie
Style experts predict that playful prints will dominate this year’s fashion scene, and by the looks of things, it’s undeniable. Nigerian actress Ini Dima Okojie perfectly embodied this trend at the second edition of Lagos Canvas, where she dazzled in a colorful shorts set. The pink metallic shorts paired seamlessly with her pumps, while the pastel button-down shirt—adorned with playful character prints—added a striking contrast to the predominantly pink hue.
Together, the prints, colors, and impeccable fit created a harmonious and unforgettable look, proving that playful prints are not just a trend but a statement of confidence and creativity. So, if you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, it’s time to embrace this trend and let your wardrobe shine with personality and flair.
#2. Beauty Tukura
Denim’s place in any fashionista’s closet is unquestionable, with at least one day a week dedicated to showcasing a fresh denim look. Former BBNaija housemate Beauty Tukura recently elevated her denim game, stepping out in a bodycon floral print top tucked into uniquely crafted distressed jeans. The jeans featured an exaggerated turn-up hem with belt loops for added aesthetic appeal, creating a standout detail.
To complete the ensemble, she layered on a sleek white tailored coat—a move that often seals the deal in any outfit. Paired with a structured mini white bag and embellished pumps, her look was a masterclass in balancing edge and elegance, proving that denim can be both versatile and show-stopping.
#3. Eki Ogunbor
Black and white could easily teach other color combinations a thing or two about longevity and relevance. Yet, despite its enduring appeal, there’s no shortage of fresh ways to style it. Take, for instance, Eki Ogunbor, who gave these hues a modern twist with clashing patterns and strategic cutouts.
Her Atuche Woman skirt, versatile enough to pair with other coordinates, was styled with a scallop-hem crop top—mismatched in prints but unified in color. To keep the look polished yet edgy, she opted for simplistic silver heels and a black bag, proving that even the most classic palette can feel fresh and ritzy when styled with intention.
#4. Priscilla Ojo
It’s never too early in the year to refresh your party collection, and shimmers are here to stay—holiday season or not. Priscilla Ojo perfectly illustrates why sequins have become a mainstream must-have, stunning in a heavily embellished House of Dova dress paired with an equally dramatic, ornate cape. This look is a masterclass in bringing red-carpet drama to life: think fully sequined pieces, a snatched waist, and statement accessories like an elaborate cape. Whether you’re heading to a glamorous event or simply want to turn heads, sequins are your go-to for making a bold, unforgettable entrance.
#5. Shaffy Bello
It’s undeniable that brocade continues to reign supreme, and for good reason. Actress Shaffy Bello recently proved this point, serving pure opulence in a stunning BHS Signatures ensemble. She paired a fitted blouse that flaunted tiered puffy sleeves with a leaf-print midi skirt, elevating the look with elegant rosette heels. The gold hue and form-fitting silhouette worked in perfect harmony, creating a look that was nothing short of luxurious. So, when the next owambe (party) comes calling, take notes from this golden, sleek masterpiece and step out in a style that demands attention.
#6. Mercy Aigbe
At the Lagos Canvas, actress Mercy Aigbe paid a modern tribute to craftsmanship in a stunning Ejiro Amos Tafiri creation, as the designer herself might describe it. The predominantly sheer outfit featured structured lines and an irregular silhouette, which, though asymmetric, achieved a perfect balance in proportions. The soft, neutral tone of the attire maintained an air of sophistication, while subtle pink accents added a refreshing contrast, making the look both daring and elegantly refined.
#7. Adeola Adeyemi
Bows on everything continue to dominate as a hot trend, whether as bold statement details or subtle accents to amplify girly charm. Reality show star Adeola Adeyemi embraced this fad at The Real Housewives of Lagos event, wearing a striking bow-detailed outfit by designer First Lady. At the heart of the corset blouse sat a prominent bow, demanding attention, while the peplum design perfectly complemented the structured frame and flared pants.
