From playful twists on classics to viral fashion moments, here are five times she left us all taking notes (and screenshots) this year.
1. The Metallic Tolu Bally Royalty Moment
Tolu Bally’s take on modern royalty was nothing short of breathtaking. She layered a dazzling electric-blue metallic drape over a crisp white shirt, merging traditional glam with corporate chic. What made this ensemble trendsetting wasn’t just the regal fabric or dramatic brooch detailing, it was the bold blend of structure and shine. It’s not every day you see a look that says “CEO and Queen” all in one frame. Her sleek ponytail, minimal accessories, and pointed heels sealed the look in true Tolu Bally fashion.

2. Ankara, but Make It Haute
Just when we thought we’d seen it all with Ankara, Tolu brought her signature spice. In this vibrant green-orange ensemble with dramatic sleeves and a perfectly cinched waist, she reinvented the asoebi silhouette for the modern-day African belle. The fabric? Loud. The design? Louder. Paired with a matching head wrap and an elegant bag, she gave us a high-fashion moment that celebrates culture while redefining how we wear our roots.

3. The Earth-Toned Tolu Bally Eleganza
Every now and then, a look comes along that makes you fall in love with fashion all over again. This brown ruched gown with cascading tulle ruffles did exactly that. It’s a mix of classic couture and editorial drama, from the high neckline and sheer sleeves to the textured layers that hugged her figure like art. With her soft makeup and swept-back fringe, Tolu turned brown, an often overlooked color into the new luxe. After this look, earthy tones have never looked more desirable.

4. The Golden Goddess in Silk
Silk on melanin is a match made in fashion heaven, and Tolu proved that with this gold satin wrap dress that screamed confidence and sensuality. With a daring thigh-high slit, a subtle front knot, and a deep neckline, she gave us a masterclass in grown-woman glam. This outfit wasn’t just about shimmer, it was about power and poise. Whether for a cocktail event or fashion editorial, this is how you command a room.

5. The chocolate-brown outfit
Now this is super stylish! It’s a matching top and pants set, kind of like a jumpsuit but with separate pieces. The top is a snug, long-sleeved shirt with a slightly low neckline. The pants are skinny and go all the way down to the ankles.The fabric looks smooth and shiny. Her makeup added pretty natural to this look, focusing on enhancing her features. Tolu is wearing simple and elegant all in one piece.
