5 Times Tolu Bally Sets Trend with Coolness
Nigerian fashion icon Tolu Bally, the creative genius behind 2207 by TBally, isn’t just a designer, she’s a trendsetter who effortlessly blends boldness with sophistication. 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.

There have always been celebrity co-signs and viral moments with Tolu Bally. From Tiwa Savage to Ini Edo, A-list stars have embraced Tolu’s designs, turning her pieces into instant sell-outs. Her looks dominate Pinterest boards and inspire “Get the Look” YouTube tutorials. Even international brands like Gap (as seen with Tyla’s campaign ) echo her philosophy of comfort-meets-confidence, proof that Tolu’s influence is borderless.
When Nigerian celebs stan a designer, the streets always follow.
Tolu isn’t just designing clothes, she’s curating a mindset. Her trends resonate because they’re authentic, wearable, and unapologetically fun and cool. For Nigerians, she’s proof that fashion is self-expression, not just labels.

Priscilla Ojo Takes on a Soft-Tone Corporate Look
Priscilla Ojo’s style is often youthful, expressive, and fitted to the pace of her public life. But when she decides to explore something calmer, something rooted in simplicity, and structure, it becomes worthy of a second glance. Her recent soft-tone corporate outfit did just that.

She wore a two-piece set made of a soft pink knit fabric. The top is long-sleeved with a round neck. It features subtle sparking stone buttons down the front. The bottom is a high waisted mini skirt paired with a structured handbag from Priscyluxe and white pointed-toe high heeled shoes. Her hair is neatly styled.
This look is simple, soft-toned, yet unique. Where dark tones are becoming the order of the day in the corporate world, this emphasizes the need to stand out regardless.
Soft tones are a great way to elevate a corporate look without going overboard. It also adds a touch of warmth to the overall look.

In an industry where image is everything, her calm tone corporate look is a breath of fresh air. She’s proving that you can be professional and stylish without sacrificing comfort and personality. She’s known for her ability to pull off daring looks, from glamourous gowns, suits, to corporate look is just a reflection of her versatility.
In many ways, this look felt like an update on what a young woman stepping into corporate conversations could look like today. Not over-prepared, not over-dressed. Just sure of her space and dressed in a way that matches that self-awareness.

Chioma Ikokwu Honours Igbo Heritage in Two Outfits
Chioma Ikokwu has always known how to make an entrance, but when she steps into culture, she does it with purpose. Recently, she appeared in two outfits that paid clear, unapologetic tribute to her Igbo roots, not as costumes. She captioned the pictures “I love my culture” and “When culture meets fashion.”

Image: Instagram
The first look is a traditional wedding inspired look. The top is a red off-shoulder, corset-style beaded detailing in front paired with a long, white, layered wrapper with a voluminous, ruffled design around the waist and hips, creating a dramatic silhouette. She finishes this look with her beret-style beaded hat, coral beads around her neck and wrist and a horse tail to make it a full royal regalia.

Her second look was a rich red Isiagu wrapper draped style. The top is a corset made style with a tree root illusion. The bottom features a red draped velvet that mimics double-layered skirts. The skirt is designed with a lion head (Isiagu) strategically placed on it. It’s a prominent motif in Igbo traditional wear signifying strength, royalty, power, and authority. She completes this look with a matching gele, a choker necklace, and black beaded handbag.
The highlight of her second outfit is the styling. Isiagu hasn’t been styled in that way before. She went further to ask a question in her post “Have you ever seen the Igbo Isiagu staple interpreted this way before?”
Wearing Isi Agu isn’t new. But presenting it like this, on this kind of platform, with this kind of calm assurance, is powerful. It reminds us once again that tradition doesn’t belong to the past. It belongs to whoever carries it and how you want it to be reflected.
These outfits were worn for a significant cultural event; for the chieftaincy title celebration of her father and her cousin Obi Cubana in Oba, Anambra.

How Chioma Ikokwu Stepped Out for Juma Jux Concert in Lagos
Chioma Ikokwu makes it a goal to arrive at any event with intention. For Juma Jux live concert in Lagos, she stepped out in a way that was bold, clear, and fully aligned with the energy of the night. There was no guessing or second-guessing. She knew what the event was about and didn’t fail to deliver with her looks.

She wore an army green cropped sports tank top, a matching olive green, cropped bomber jacket that looked like it was made for only her but in a subtle way that said structure and strength, worn open. Her bottom is a high-waisted, slightly fitted cycling shorts which had Gucci logo patterned on it. A light coloured olive green cap is worn on her head. The highlight of this look is her strappy heels. It came with a boot-inspired design making it one of its kind. Not forgetting her blonde bob hairstyle and full makeup. The look is chic and coordinated.
The goal was not just to be live but be present in looks. It’s almost difficult to walk past her without noticing her style. Her look was direct, tough, and well thought out. She didn’t overload the look with extras. Her accessories were clean. A tiny silver chain on her neck, bangles, and wristwatch.

At a concert like Juma Jux’s where energy is high and fashion can tilt into costume territory, she chose something grounded yet iconic. What stood out most was how self-assured she looked. That’s not something you can borrow from a stylist or find in a trend.
