The person who said too many cooks spoil the broth should have made it contextual as Nigerian celebrities have been on sartorial sway in recent weeks. Their ensembles can be compared to a three-course meal served on a platter in a Michelin-starred restaurant; the stars are prepared to a range of high marks, almost like a leg day buffet.
The silhouettes were widespread and powerful enough to serve both day and night. A handful stood out with even more creative embellishments, like ruffles, cutouts or metallics. It didn’t matter if they were wedding guests, starting a business, attending movie premieres, or walking to a meeting place; these Lagos celebrities and fashionistas confidently fixed their poses and wardrobes to achieve remarkable style coordination.
Check out the chic looks Lagos celebrities and fashionistas have shown off in recent weeks…
#1. Osas Ighodaro
Wearing black with silver accents is an old trick in the books, but it’s still relevant. The combo exudes class and an effortless look of elegance. Actress Osas Ighodaro wore a black velvet dress with a high slit and a metal rosette on the bust, finished with statement earrings and black strappy sandals. The fabric chosen was lightweight, easily the best choice when braving Nigeria’s hot weather. This week, wear that black dress you’ve been saving for a special day. Put on the beautiful silver accessories and head to that special event.
#2. Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori (Kie Kie)
Sequins and aso-oke are not your regular collaboration, but rely on social media influencer Ki Ki to make it work. Looking like an ’80s Afro stunner, she was the perfect wedding guest in a sequin Accost Collection halter dress, paired with an equally okay headpiece. The red shade was an overdose, but still not too much. Her lipstick surrendered to the theme, and yet her mini chain bag was all RED to make a loud statement. She amped up the look with Catseye sunglasses and gold jewelry that made an impact.

#3. Mitchel Ukachukwu
Don’t forget to incorporate pastels into your wardrobe choices this week; they are subtle and difficult to ignore. It’s almost as if they are programmed to be noticed, yet exude an aura of effortlessness. There’s not enough to say about this pastel midi dress from Beauty Queen Mitchel Ukachukwu. For added dimension, the queen added a modest denim peplum belt to the midriff. It’s safe to say it does very subdued (although in today’s viral landscape the word has become completely spurious).
#4. Nonye Udeogu
Once the ember months arrive, Nigerians catch the holiday bug. This also includes resting on the idea of vacations and ease of living. Of course there is a last minute rush to score goals, but style becomes a serious matter. That is the mood influencer Nonye Udeogu gives this yellow two-part copy. From the lightweight fabric, the backless silhouette, the loose maxi skirt, the statement jewelry and the sleek hair, the ensemble hit all the right buttons. An intentional inclination toward rest is always an idea worth cuddling with. Prepare yourself for the holidays with stylish resort wear that can be dressier or more relaxed depending on the occasion.
#5. Toke Makinwa
That’s definitely big boss energy Toke Makinwas general aesthetics. To launch her perfume in Abuja, the star girl wore a long-sleeved Draped Banke Kuku dress with a shape-hugging fit. High necks resonate with swept-back bangs to avoid a busy look, and Makinwa went this route with her hairstyle. An overall neutral outfit still makes room for a pop of color, and in this scenario, blue and red entered the group chat as a mini bag and evening sandals, respectively.

#6. Priscilla Ajoke Ojo
Another event was the content creator Enioluwas The premiere of ‘All of Us’, a star-studded affair, with celebrities and influencers packed as if they were on a single bus to the American dream. Influencer Priscilla Ojo graced the occasion in a black cut-out Udiahgebi dress. The seductive off-the-shoulder gown featured a center cut and a scandalous side slit. With the news of her engagement to the Tanzanian singer Juma Jux Splashed all over the internet, the influencer hasn’t stopped taking heat for her fashion views. She accessorized the look with pink bow-adorned heels with an impeccable execution.
#7. Iyabo Ojo
Finally, actress and beautiful mother-in-law, Iyabo Ojo, applied print in a KY Luxury mini dress on the ‘Gram. The dress was a beautiful color combination, completed with lots of ruffles. She livened this up with tinted glasses, an embellished clutch and heeled sandals that served the sass.
