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.

Is Destiny Etiko Reviving the Denim Jumpsuit Trend?
Destiny Etiko’s latest appearance in a denim jumpsuit wasn’t something we were expecting. On January 16 she stepped out in a denim jumpsuit, a style that has lost its trend for a while. In a time where celebrity fashion leans toward bodycon dresses and coordinated sets, her choice for a denim jumpsuit feels well-thought out.
The light-wash one-piece depended on its cut. It was form-fitted at the waist, loose through the legs, and gathered at the ankles, giving the outfit a delicate shape. There was nothing extravagant about the design.

Destiny Etiko complemented the jumpsuit with hot pink heeled sandals designed with a large, soft-looking floral appliqués and a pink quilted shoulder bag with a gold chain strap adding structure and style to the look. The accessories mixed easily with the outfit.
Denim jumpsuit have gone through different evolutions over the years. Once commonly worn, then they gradually faded as trends moved toward figure-hugging silhouette and two-piece outfits. In recent times, they have appeared less often in celeb style, Destiny’s choice to go for a denim jumpsuit was quite noticeable. The look didn’t feel like a throwback instead, it felt thoughtful.
Destiny Etiko’s fashion choices often connect with styles many women relate with. This style followed that pattern, appearing comfortable and easy to wear.

The denim jumpsuit also offers utility. As a single piece, it eliminates the stress of combining separate pieces while still delivering a complete look. This simplicity fits into how most people approach everyday dressing.
Is Destiny Etiko reviving the denim jumpsuit trend? It might be too early to say. However, wearing it at a time when it has lost its trend, she has brought attention back to the style.
