Fashion is a personal expression, where individuality and unique tastes reign supreme over conventional trends. While it’s fine to embrace the latest styles, it’s the distinctive touches that truly elevate the fashion landscape. This past week, Lagos celebrities took center stage at Toke Makinwa’s Thanksgiving celebration, showcasing their personal styles which resonated with their identities. While ruffles and florals made a statement with form-fitting frocks, others boldly layered contrasting textures for a more eclectic look, proving that fashion is all about breaking the mold.

In Lagos, whenever there’s a party, it’s time to refresh your mood boards with fresh interpretations of both trends and classics. This season, stars are embracing harmonious color combinations while experimenting with varied textures. Although the silhouettes in Lasgidi may occasionally lean towards the predictable, the styling is anything but ordinary. Even a classic rich auntie boubou delivers both comfort and visual appeal, proving that elegance can always be a feast for the eyes.

Check out how Lagos celebs dressed up for Toke Makinwa’s Thanksgiving and other events…

Last week, Tiwa Savage dropped her latest track, Forgiveness, promoting the single on Instagram in a strikingly layered sporty ensemble. She paired a fur-trimmed bomber jacket with a graphic tee, cargo pants, and lace-up sneakers, accentuated by a checkered shirt tied around her waist. This messy girl aesthetic draws inspiration from the ’90s grunge and goth trends. While it may seem effortless, this look is meticulously curated to embrace a playful chaos that feels both refreshing and rebellious.

Sleek golden separates unite to create a powerful statement. Mastering the art of pairing an off-shoulder crop top with a flirty wrap skirt for a sultry look, without crossing into the realm of tacky, is a true skill. Nancy Isime dazzled in a silk gold Bfyne set at the Glenfiddich Sleeve launch. She accessorized with drop earrings, navel jewelry, gold sandals, and a structured chain-strap handbag. The ensemble beautifully highlighted her caramel skin against the evening lights, leaving just enough to the imagination.

The fitted bodice hugged her figure perfectly, while the flowing low-waist skirt created an enchanting silhouette, complete with a neck scarf cascading to the floor. The dress spoke volumes in fabric, texture, and aesthetics. She complemented the look with a sleek ponytail and laid edges, opting for a small black purse that allowed the dress to take center stage.

Sustainable brand Banke Kuku unveiled their latest collection, “Oceans,” in Lagos this past week. Fellow designer Tubo Bereni attended to support the brand, stunning in an all-over-name boubou adorned with tassels at the back. She added a pop of color with a red handbag and complemented the look with a chic pixie cut. This ensemble was a comfortable nod to eco-friendly fashion—a refreshing trend in Lagos. Why not rock a black and white boubou this week to your favorite relaxation spot for that rich aunty vibe? And while you’re at it, choose a brand that prioritizes sustainability.

Entrepreneur Tracy Nwapa turned heads on Instagram in a Sandro embellished crop top paired with a Regalio all-over rosette mini skirt and silver platform heels. The disco-inspired top added the perfect nightlife sparkle, featuring shiny stones in a range of soft tones. This weekend, why not hit the party scene with your girls in a disco crop top and show off those legs in a mini skirt? Opt for towering heels and keep accessories minimal—a blush pink mini bag to complement the top and a sleek center-part hairstyle will complete the look perfectly.
