#1. Pastel colors with beads
Lagos born, Temi Otedola attended the British Fashion Awards in a beaded baby pink Standing Ground number that turned heads. The beads were strung together like sea pebbles in a pleated, asymmetrical train. The high neck dress was simple but with a heavy look of elegance. Soft shades continue to win season after season, so wearing them in accents or as a monochromatic delight works for all parties involved.
#2. Rippled glow
Less is more is not in the vocabulary of some of these stylish Nigerian celebrities and influencers. ICYMI: Going fast is the name of the game this holiday season. Necklines and hems decorated with ruffles combined with exaggerated fabrics that flow in wavy volumes are the to-do for the holidays. Nigerian designer, Mimi Yina checked all of these off as she served chic in a yellow high-neck ruffled top paired with wide-hem trousers. This is a great way to announce your presence without words.
#3. Pieces of chic
Designer, Lisa Folawiyo played the sharp card with the cut-out trend at the Future Face Global event. She wore an oversized blazer and high-waisted wide-hem trousers – all with exaggerated cutouts and tie details – from her brand. Folawiyo is known for her eclectic taste in fashion, and although famous for combining various prints, this look still passed the vibe check. Her accessories – a beaded bag and chunky earrings – made for a beautiful combination.
#4. Orange stripes
Tis the season for Owambe (celebrate). If you are in Lagos, you already know that it is wedding season and the aso-ebi is out! Tania Omotayo attended a traditional event in Ile Ife, Osun State, looking like royalty in an orange striped print set and matching headgear.

#5. All-over prints

#6. Black shines
Black and silver is a complementary duo that never misses. As the saying goes, when in doubt, wear black. I dare say: use some silver for a touch of glamour. Nigerian designer, Yutee Rone heading to the 2023 Future Face Global event in a black, bejeweled look from her brand, Yutee Rone Atelier.
