If I had a penny for every time I said “holiday vibes,” I’d be swimming in a pool of money. But it’s almost delusional to ignore the energy here. The Christmas decor is ready, shopping has been checked off the to-do list, events are being answered in advance and the looks on the mood board are finally taking shape. Simply put: Lagos is ready and the celebrities are out, full of the holiday atmosphere and the rewarding looks that it brings. If you’re still trying to figure out your last-minute looks for all the events you’ve emotionally agreed to, don’t call in sick at the last minute. Check out these Nigerian celebrity looks for maximum win.
These Nigerian celeb styles give exactly what they should give…
#1. Black minis
No matter how colorful the season presents itself, a black mini outfit should be in your closet. Rita Dominicus I got the message and put on an Elvira Jude peplum top and an asymmetrical hem miniskirt for a nice ending. The embellished details on the top evoked the same chic vibe as her shiny platform heels and Lady Dior bag. The only hint of color was her red lip, which had no choice but to pop and give this look a sophisticated feel. This is a Nigerian celeb style that will be adopted this season as familiar colors like black should be non-negotiable.
#2. White bouboe
A sleek boubou is the number one rich aunty look on the streets of Lagos. Ex-BBN star, Liqueur proved this in an all-white sheer agbada from Elegante by Kikelomo. She accessorized the coordination with a statement pearl necklace and earrings. This is a luxurious outfit that is suitable for most occasions, because casual is boring this season.
#3. The corset factor
Over the centuries, corsets have remained relevant in women’s fashion. It’s easy to see why a simple way to portray femininity with fashion is to play up your frame. While some may prefer less show-off coordination, others choose to emphasize it. Tiwa wanted often chooses both. But this time she decided to show off her curves in a black House of CB number with a crepe corset bodice and a draped silky satin skirt. The luxurious textures make this a perfect black tie look. You can opt for a simple pearl necklace to flatter the strapless neckline.
#4. Dolled up
It’s one thing to choose a mini dress, and another to choose one with a personality. Actress, Adunni Ade did the latter in an off-the-shoulder Jeaneel Couture dress with exaggerated sleeves that ended in a flowing train. The embellished number was in sync with her metallic mini bag, catching the light with every wave. She completed the look with open-toed heels and a sleek hairstyle that showed off her bare neckline. This outfit is a favorite with wedding guests.
#5. Caught in the red
Being trendy and distinctive is an art, and Ini Edo found a way to do it in this red issue that made the case for holiday scandals. After all, what screams Christmas like the shade of red? If you have a red carpet event or birthday photoshoot on your agenda this season, let Edo inspire you and turn heads. The secret is to keep the hair, face and accessories to a minimum as the dress is an occasion in itself.
#6. Blue-tiful structures
Clearly, high slits are not taking a backseat as the details continue to mark their territory on most dresses, especially those worn at high-profile events. This ubiquitous Nigerian celebrity style understands how to flatter a woman’s frame, and this blue number on Osas Ighodaro is proof. She paired the off-the-shoulder Tubo number with silver heels with bow details that brightened things up.
#7. Tye dye raffia
Embracing traditional textures and updating them for contemporary fashion is a fashion-forward mindset. Fashion designer, Sandra Tubobereni played this card in an Éki Kéré offering that was simple but exquisite. The fit, a tye-dye skirt with raffia detailing, styled with a white button-down shirt and a pink structured bag, is a relaxed yet stylish way to welcome the festivities.
