Nancy Isime is not just a talented actress and media personality, she is also a fashion force to be reckoned with. Over the years, she has graced numerous red carpets, delivering show-stopping looks that blend cultural pride and style. When Nancy Isime steps onto a red carpet, the rest of us might as well just go home. The actress  isn’t just serving looks, she’s serving entire five-course fashion meals that leave us both inspired and slightly intimidated. Here are six times Nancy turned red carpets into her personal runway, proving she’s Nigeria’s style queen.   

 

1. The Pearl-Embellished Masterpiece at AMVCA 2022

Remember when Nancy showed up to the AMVCAs looking like a walking jewelry box (in the best way possible)? Her Valdrin Sahiti white gown with pearl embellishments was so extra, even the chandeliers were jealous. Paired with that quirky Simone Rocha pearl clutch, she had fashion critics at BellaNaija scrambling for their thesaurus to find new words for “flawless.”   

 

2. When She Basically Became Human Gold at the ‘Superstar’ Premiere

For the “Superstar” premiere, Nancy said “subtlety is overrated” and arrived as a literal golden goddess. That Xtrabrides crop top and thigh-high slit skirt combo was so shiny, we’re pretty sure astronauts could see it from space. The matching headscarf? Chef’s kiss. It’s what we imagine a Nollywood queen would wear if she won the lottery.

 

3. The Silver & Gold Embellished Gown at Lagos Lifestyle Awards

Hosting duties? More like hosting lewks. Nancy’s silver-and-gold gown at the Lagos Lifestyle Awards had us all wondering – was she presenting awards or was she the award? The metallic masterpiece walked the perfect line between futuristic and regal, like if a spaceship and a palace had a very stylish baby.  

 

 

4. The Red Rose-Design Dress for “Everybody Loves Jenifa” Promo

During the “Everybody Loves Jenifa” promo tour, Nancy proved you can be playful and polished at the same time. That red dress with the rose neckline was giving us “sexy garden party” vibes, and honestly? We’re still not over it. The way she paired it with bold accessories was a masterclass in how to stand out without trying too hard.  

 

5. The Future Awards Africa 2022: Black Ball Gown

For her hosting gig at The Future Awards Africa, Nancy’s black lace-sleeved ball gown was the definition of “quiet luxury.” It was sophisticated enough for royalty but with just enough edge to remind us she’s not to be messed with. The minimal accessories? A power move – when your dress is this good, you don’t need much else.  

 

 

6. Made In Heaven Premiere: Angelic White & Silver Ensemble

Nancy took the “Angels and Demons” theme very seriously for the “Made in Heaven” premiere, and thank goodness she chose team angel. That white and silver ensemble was so ethereal, we’re convinced she borrowed it from actual angels. The shimmering details caught every flashbulb, making her look like she was glowing from within (which, let’s be honest, she probably was).  

 

Nancy Isime’s red carpet evolution proves that she is more than just a celebrity, she is a fashion visionary. Whether she’s embracing African heritage, experimenting with designs, or exuding classic Hollywood glamour, each look tells a story of confidence, creativity, and impeccable taste.

The last time Tiwa Savage made headlines in Lisa Folawiyo’s designs, she was on the cover of Billboard. She returns once again to the desginer’s creation. From that major 2020 Billboard cover to now, Tiwa and Lisa Folawiyo have a fashion history, and it has continued to evolve.

This time, the occasion was more important than a red carpet. Tiwa hosted the grand finale of the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation Berklee in Nigeria programme, an event where over $2 million was awarded to 18 students. She showed up dressed for the moment, choosing Lisa Folawiyo for the occasion.

At the event, she wore a sleeveless crochet top which had alternating horizontal stripes of bright orange and crisp white. The piece was accented with simple beaded embellishments, a signature of the Lisa Folawiyo brand. Tiwa paired it with a matching high-waisted striped skirt that transitioned from blue and yellow tones into a floor-length fringe hemline. The fringe created a glittering effect, adding movement across the hemline and the shape of the outfit.

For her hairstyle, Tiwa Savage maintained her short pixie cut with soft, finger-waved textures. Her makeup featured neutral eyeshadow, a bold red lip and warm, bronzed skin to complement the bright tones of her outfit.

For accessories, she carried a mini satin handbag in a sharp lemon-yellow shade, providing a pop of colour that highlighted the yellow stripes in her skirt. Her jewellery included small hoop earrings, and silver layered bracelets. For shoes, she chose pointed-toe yellow heels adorned with oversized, sparkling crystal bow.

This is not the first time Tiwa has chosen Lisa Folawiyo for a significant moment. Back in 2020, she wore a Lisa Folawiyo blazer on the cover of Billboard’s “Africa Now” issue alongside Davido and Mr Eazi. That look was structured and Ankara-based, a formal statement on an international stage. This one is different, the crochet co-ord is looser, more celebratory, suited for a night that was about Nigeria’s young talent and what is possible when someone decides to build something real.
