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.

What Dede Ashiogwu Wears When She Wants to Be Heard

Published

on

Dede Ashiogwu has mastered a presence that people notice before they even realise it. She leans on black the way some rely on words, choosing shades that carry authority on their own. This week she reminded her followers of that pull with a short note on Instagram: “Make them stop and stare.”

She skipped the usual glamour settings and kept things stripped back, offering no locations or event hints, just a plain background that put her and the outfit front and centre.

Every part of the look feels deliberate. She chose a long black wool-blend suit-dress. It’s double-breasted, drawn in at the waist, and shaped with structured shoulders that give it clear definition. A white collar and cuffs break the darkness, joined by a narrow tie that anchors the look.

The surprise comes from the fringe: long strands hanging from the sleeves, torso, and hem, adding subtle flow to a carefully composed design. Changing the outline just enough to guide the eye, gold hoops and tortoiseshell shades provide warmth while her taper fade keeps the overall effect clean and composed.

Where bold patterns usually take the lead, Dede’s decision to keep it simple carries more impact than any bright print. The tailoring gives form without distraction, the fringe adds gentle energy, and the ensemble feels confident and intentional. She didn’t need a stage or a spotlight. The outfit spoke for itself, and it was impossible to look away.

At a time when many rely on exaggerated layering or oversized forms to grab attention, Uche Montana demonstrates a different approach something rooted in clean, balanced structure. Her recent outfit is put together with clear direction, showing a preference for pieces that work together logically.

The cropped dark leather jacket sets the tone for the look. Its firm shape outlines the upper body, creating a controlled shoulder line while narrowing visually at the waist. By keeping the jacket short and clean-cut, she creates a clean line that naturally draws the eye to the fitted black top beneath it. The mix is clean and purposeful, so the outfit feels focused.

For the lower half, she opts for black leggings, a decision that avoids visual breaks and keeps the body’s outline continuous. This uncluttered base allows the boots to stand out with intention. The tall brown boots add balanced weight to the look without introducing heaviness. Their tone pairs with the jacket in a way that adds dimension but avoids duplication, reinforcing the outfit’s balanced structure.

Her accessories are purposeful and minimal compact sunglasses, subtle jewelry, and a small circular bag. Each item supports the outfit instead of distracting from it. Overall, Uche’s appearance shows a styling mindset centred on order, measured design, and choices that are clear rather than excessive.
