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.

From the waist down, the dress flowed into layered ruffles that go all the way to the floor. The ruffles added movement and it did not overwhelm the outfit. They all sat neat in levels that make the gown appear well-built and intentional.
She completed the look with a wide white hat that gave the outfit a crisp, fresh edge. The hat was not there to overcome the outfit, it elevated it.

Her accessories followed the same calm style. She chose a green beaded handbag that gave a small but noticeable contrast. The gold pieces on her wrist, neck, and ear are simple enough to stay quietly while still adding their own uniqueness. To crown it all up, the yellow colour complemented her smooth shining skin.

Priscilla Ojo: Instagram
What makes the outfit is how tidy the entire outfit feels. The colours did not clash, the pieces did not compete, and nothing appeared like it was added last minute. It shows that she really paid attention to the styling.
The Farin Collection made a beautiful dress, but it’s Priscilla’s calm and steady way of wearing it with her star personality that completes the picture. She doesn’t try to force anything, she just allows it to speak for itself.

Styled from her collection in a short green dress with wide sleeves and an artwork detail resting across the front, you’d definitely look at the outfit twice. Still, it appeared neat and well put together. It didn’t look like it was begging for attention, everything sat in place. Then came her accessories. She paired the dress with white heels and a white purse. Her dark sunglasses tied everything together, and her pulled-back ponytail suited the outfit.

Now here comes the real star of the moment: her long feathered earrings. The kind that instantly catches the eye. They didn’t just complete the outfit; they became the outfit. Even with the other accessories, the earrings were what truly held the entire look together. They added a playful feel to her confident appearance and brought the outfit to life.

Efe Irele Opens Theatre Weekend in Black and White
Efe Irele opened theatre weekend in a black-and-white outfit that fit the tone of the Lagos International Theatre Festival. The event pulls a mix of actors, directors and cultural guests, and she arrived in a look that aligned with her usual straightforward style.

Efe Irele: Instagram
She wore a pin-striped top from ÁNÍKÉ fitted neatly through the shoulders with a clean neckline. She paired it with a long pleated skirt that added ease and a bit of movement without overwhelming the outfit. The combination created a simple, organised look suitable for a busy festival opening.
Her beaded neckpiece introduced a bit of texture, while the white fringe bag added contrast and broke up the darker colours. White sandals matched the bag and kept the outfit consistent from head to toe.

Her makeup stayed subtle, and her hair was styled in loose curls that sat neatly throughout the day. Nothing in the look competed for attention, which kept the focus on the full outfit rather than any single detail.
Efe’s outfit worked because it was comfortable, well-coordinated and practical for a weekend filled with shows, conversations and long hours at the venue.
