There is never a shortage of fashion on the streets of Lagos. And if you count the successive high-brow events, you will understand why Lasgidi is the fashion capital on the African continent. From award shows to movie premieres and casual parties, we’ve been fed satisfying looks, and like a glutton in beast mode, we only crave more.
Whether it’s the slinky display of lightweight fabrics barely clinging to the frame in abandon or cheerful red carpet ensembles working overtime to stay steadfast in the unfaithful spotlight, the simple way to describe the past few weeks in Lagos is to say that the fashion bug has chosen to stick around for a while to make its presence known. How else can we explain the overload of fashion on our timelines?
Check out the latest style shots of Lagos celebrities that inspire…
#1. Jemima Osunde
Actress Jemima Osunde has been on a serial killing spree, especially during her press rounds for the film Water and Garri Tiwa wanted and the rest of the team. In one instance, she was a sight to behold in a green blazer styled with sheer bottoms and pumps. The sheer pants were an easy win with their glittering details, and her subtly patterned shoes elevated the look even further. For a touch of old Hollywood glamour, she kept her wavy hair loosely up and added statement earrings to complete the look.

#2. DJ Cuppy
DJ Cuppy was spotted at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival in a sleeveless, embellished dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. She paired it with a vintage-inspired necklace that added a chic boho look to the elegant piece. Since this was in a French city, she pulled off a French girl aesthetic with her tossed hairstyle and subtle facial movement.
#3. Bimbo Akintola
Nollywood veteran, Bimbo Akintola looked every inch luxurious in a Vicnate ensemble. She wore a black velvet maxi dress with a silky cape at the African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards. What’s striking about this fit is its effortlessness amid hard-playing ensembles. The evening was peppered with flamboyant offerings, enlivened with decorations, but Mrs. Akintola chose to step out in a poised outfit built on charisma and simplicity.
#4. Nancy Isime
Nancy Isime knows how to create a good resort look. This time she posed in extra breezy pleated pants paired with a cropped top and accessorized with costume jewelry, statement sunglasses and a chic headscarf. This is the right holiday destination to spice things up sexy volume.
#5. Hilda Baci
A tight-fitting red dress has an unspoken allure. Chances are that the shade plays a major role in the intrigue associated with such a dress. Hilda Baci put this to the test for the premiere of Water and Garri, wearing a red maxi dress with a plunging neckline accented with embellishments, puff sleeves and ruffles at the hips. This way you are the beauty of every occasion.

#6. Nonye Udeogu
One of the main highlights of fashion has always been the fusion of tradition and contemporary. It would be so boring if we stuck to the familiar and refused to give in to fashionable adjustments. Style Influencer, Nonye Udeogu layered on an agbada-inspired boubou over a white collar shirt and casual sandals, then a headscarf infused for the culture. There’s nothing more refreshing than referencing your roots with modern expressions.
#7. Genoveva Umeh
Perhaps one of the most underrated looks from the 2024 AMVCA Genoveva Umeh’s ensemble. The texture of this Sóró Aso turtleneck dress was a rich auntie service, and the generous fluidity of the fabric lived up to expectations. While the dress did its thing, she used a bow-detail hairstyle to tie up any loose ends, and used artsy arm bracelets for a sharp, daring statement.
