WWeek after week, the Lasgidi tailor’s sauce retains a spicy taste. Some opt for conservative approaches, while others opt for a punchy approach – either way, the results are a continued high-performance achievement in the ever-changing fashion landscape. From the ‘gram to the streets and the red carpet of the 2023 Afriff Awards, Nigerian celebrities are undeniably raising the bar, and others are humbly following.
Check out the chic looks Naija stars spotted at the 2023 Afriff Awards and other events…
#1. Surreal white
For the AMMA awards, Grace Aigbe was an ethereal sight in an all-white outfit. The look, a sheer statement blouse and wide-leg trousers from Anjy Luminee couture, was the right way to spice up the event. Fresh and flawless, Aigbe’s white outfit exuded a timeless opulence, like a whisper of serenity woven into fabric.
#2. Velvet plush
The following is none other than Nse Ikpe Etim and her graceful outfit for the Afriff Awards 2023. The actress spoke of elegance in a black velvet dress with asymmetrical drapes from Vicnate, paired with an embellished bag and heeled sandals. For jewelry, she opted for diamond earrings and a bracelet that added more sparkle to the conversation. This offering indeed enveloped the star girl with an aura of timeless elegance.
#3. Swirls and a bow
Nigerian actress, Ini Dima Okojie was spotted in a Derin Fabikun print dress that did justice to her body. The printed satin and lace dress showed off draping around the waist and bust in a way that evoked graceful femininity. The supporting star of the ensemble was her bow-shaped headpiece that sat proudly like a crown.
#4. Luxurious shine
On this point, Angel Obasi needs no introduction to Nigerian style conversations, and this offering explains why. Recently, the style star dazzled in a majestic gold and black draped trouser set from Isi Atagamen. The elbow-length sleeves and plunging neckline showed off enough skin to up the ante. She completed the look with a beaded bag, dainty jewelry, oversized sunglasses and her signature hat.
#5. Texture mix
Who would wear (and create) such an attention-seeking number? Jennifer Oseh, Naturally. Recently, the fashion designer (and influencer) stepped out to turn heads in a colorful kaftan from her line, Wild Kulture. The dress seamlessly blended textures – satin, aso-oke and Ankara – in a way that gave a nod to Nigeria’s vibrant culture. Oseh styled this look with a statement pink hat, pearl jewelry and oversized sunglasses that heralded her maximalist approach to fashion.
#6. Mono sleeves
Beverly Naja wore a one-shoulder midi dress from SB Youme to the 2023 Afriff Awards. The printed number with a drawstring slit featured a statement puffy sleeve for maximum impact. The actress completed the look with gold oversized hoop earrings and simple sandals, resulting in an eye-catching ensemble.
#7. Robes and raffia
For the GTCO fashion weekend, Lola Ogunnaike opted for a tie-and-dye dress with raffia fringe at the sleeve ends and hems. The blue and white robe was paired with peach wide-leg trousers and matching shoes for a balancing effect. Ogunnaike embodied Africanism by using tie-dye and raffia to create an eccentric offering. To match the color of the raffia, she added a beige bag into the mix.
