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.

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.

Zlatan Ibile and Davita Lamai shared a new set of photos dressed in tailored suits. The look leaned on clean cuts and simple styling rather than bold detailing, the outfit flows with a sophisticated sense of direction.

Zlatan wore a charcoal grey pinstripe suit paired with a burgundy tie and pocket square. The tailoring hugged his build just right, and the colour choice brought out layers while keeping the look simple.

Davita appeared beside him in an all-white blazer worn with a fitted midi pencil skirt. Her styling stayed composed, with hair in soft waves and pointed-toe heels that kept the overall look organised and thoroughly done. The contrast between both outfits was planned, built around dark tones on one side and white on the other.

The photographs showed coordination through shared tailoring choices, even though both looks differed in colour. Each layer felt handpicked and blended easily.

Both outfits followed the same formal direction while maintaining individual character.

Beyond their public style appearances, the couple have publicly share important milestones in recent years. In July 2025, Zlatan publicly celebrated Davita after she completed her Master’s degree at the University of Birmingham, acknowledging her academic achievement.

Zlatan has also spoken in the past about valuing stability in his personal life, often referencing Davita in that context. While he continues to release music and expand his fashion interests, Davita has largely maintained a private profile, appearing mostly at family or joint events.
