6 Nigerian Celebrities That Rocked the Long Mesh Gown Effortlessly
When it comes to style, Nigerian celebrities are not here to play. They’re bold, experimental, and they know how to work a trend until it bends in their favor. One piece that has found its way from casual street wear to full-on red carpet glam is the long mesh gown, and trust Nigerian fashionistas to elevate it beyond expectations.
So, What’s the Hype About the Long Mesh Gown?
Mesh, in all its sheer and breathable glory, has been around for ages. But the long mesh gown takes things up several notches—it’s sultry without being loud, detailed without being busy. The fabric clings, flows, and sometimes shimmers, depending on the designer’s magic. Whether it’s styled with inner lining, left sheer for bold statements, or embroidered to perfection, it’s the kind of dress that lets you serve body, art, and attitude all at once.
Nigerian Brands Doing the Mesh Gown Justice
Before we dive into the queens who wore them, let’s give a shout-out to homegrown brands making mesh gowns a whole fashion moment. Labels like WANNIFUGA, Banke Kuku, and Nivio Official are turning this versatile fabric into head-turning looks—whether it’s for a gala, fashion show, or casual luxury slay.
Now, let’s talk about the women who took the long mesh gown and made it unforgettable.
Priscilla Ojo – Green Glam Meets Street Style

Priscilla didn’t just wear a gown, she wore a statement. Rocking a bold green mesh gown by WANNIFUGA, she stepped out in full Gen Z royalty mode. The word WANNIFUGA was patterned all over the dress in white—yes, branding, but make it fashion.
The gown hugged her figure in all the right ways, with a high neckline giving it a classy finish. Green floral earrings matched the dress’s tone, and she threw in gold accessories like she was born for it. A black quilted handbag with a gold chain sealed the look. Casual elegance with an urban edge? Priscilla ate.
Veekee James – Art on Fabric

If mesh were a canvas, Veekee James just painted a masterpiece on it. Wearing her own Nivio Official design, she looked like a walking exhibition. The gown was a mix of earthy tones—deep browns, reds, blacks—with circular and geometric patterns creating a rich tapestry of culture and class.
The dramatic flared cuffs and high neckline gave it structure. This wasn’t just fashion; it was storytelling. The vibe? Chocolate and caramel, as she perfectly captioned it.
Erica Nlewedim – Sleek, Soft, and Bossy

At the October 2024 WANNIFUGA show, Erica pulled up in a long grey mesh gown that was all kinds of sleek. The high neckline and long sleeves balanced the body-hugging silhouette perfectly. There was no need for drama—the fabric and fit spoke for themselves.
She paired the look with a gold clutch and posed next to a black Mercedes-Benz. Yes, the car matched the vibe. Yes, the cactus in the background added softness. It was a whole mood—modern, luxe, and just the right amount of spicy.
Toke Makinwa – Blue Royalty with a Twist

Toke Makinwa doesn’t just wear clothes, she tells a story. This long mesh gown by Banke Kuku starts with a soft sky blue and transitions into deep navy, like dusk melting into night. Circular patterns float across the mesh, with floral details blooming toward the hem—green leaves and yellow blossoms that make it feel alive.
Then there’s the chest cut-out: unexpected, daring, and just enough. Against a minimalist outdoor backdrop, Toke looked like a queen in her garden, no crown needed.
Tania Omotayo – Garden Goddess Energy

Tania served effortless elegance in a mesh gown that looked like springtime bottled into a dress. Shades of blue, purple, and green danced across the fabric in a floral pattern that was both soft and bold.
With a high slit that added a subtle dose of heat, she paired it with strappy sandals in matching tones, creating a long, lean silhouette. Standing on a staircase with modern decor and potted plants, she brought laid-back luxury to life. The vibe? “I woke up like this,” but in couture.
Hilda Baci – Slay Queen, Kitchen Queen

Hilda Baci knows how to mix business with beauty—and she does it like a true chef at the top of her game. In a vibrant, multicolored long mesh gown with long sleeves and a curve-loving cut, she served soft glam with a bossy twist.
The outfit wasn’t just a fashion moment—it was a reminder. Hilda isn’t only the record-breaking culinary queen we admire; she’s also a style icon in her own right. The gown’s playful colors popped perfectly against the backdrop of a sleek, modern kitchen. It felt like a quiet flex: “Yes, I can cook up a storm and still look like the main course.”
Streetwear edge met high-fashion elegance, and as always, Hilda gave us both—and more

Wizkid and Pharrell Raise the Bar for Male Fashion—and Possibly New Music
Is Wizkid hinting at new music? That’s the question his latest Instagram post has sparked. The images, captured alongside American musician, producer, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, appeared without a caption, leaving fans to speculate. While it’s not confirmed whether new music is coming, the photos themselves highlight how both artists approach visual style.
Wizkid wears an all-black leather outfit, with a fitted biker jacket and tailored trousers that make an impression with their tailored fit. Pharrell Williams takes a different approach, pairing a satin bomber with wide-leg trousers that move freely, showing how fabric and cut shape his look. The black-and-white photos capture the textures, contrasts, and details of both outfits, making the differences between the two styles clear at a glance.

Wizkid’s all-black leather outfit maintains its sharp tailoring. A fitted biker-style jacket with a structured collar is paired with lace-up trousers and pointed boots. A chain necklace and tinted sunglasses add subtle details. The leather continues to define the outfit’s shape and clean lines, showing how careful cuts and material choices elevate the overall look.
Pharrell offers a contrasting approach. A satin bomber with graphic detail is paired with wide-leg trousers and solid sneakers, creating a relaxed shape that emphasizes movement and proportion. The satin introduces sheen, while the trousers provide balance through volume. Minimal accessories allow the focus to remain on the combination of cut, fabric, and shape.

Side by side, the photos show contrast between fitted leather and relaxed satin, structured lines and looser proportions, as well as different textures and volumes. Both looks demonstrate how fabric, fit, and design can define a look without relying on logos or branding.
Whether this collaboration signals new music or is solely a style moment, the images highlight contemporary approaches to menswear. They emphasize how tailored details, fabric choices, and proportions can make each outfit visually distinct, showcasing the thoughtful approach both Wizkid and Pharrell take toward their public image.

She wore a structured denim corset bodice in a light-wash blue. The corset is fitted and tight at the waist. It has visible denim designs: seams, panels and a repurposed denim waistband wrapped around her hips with a leather logo patch on it adding texture to the bodice. On top of the corset she wore a heavily distressed light-wash blue cropped denim jacket. The jacket is oversized with chest pockets, a wide collar and worn patches across the shoulders and front panels. It’s long-sleeved and it was rolled up a bit.

For the bottom, Damola wore a long mid-wash blue denim skirt with a thigh-high slit at the left side and a raw, unfinished hem that pools slightly at her feet adding a rough edge to the full outfit. She paired the look with a structured tote bag that matches her dress. She completed the look with a pair of denim pointed-toe heels that match the outfit.

Oyindamola accessorized her look with silver statement bangles on both wrists, a silver ring and a simple chain necklace. Her makeup was done by Ewatosin Makeovers and it was a soft-glam look with well-defined brows, neutral smokey eyes and glossy nude lips outlined with a darker line. Official flarehair styled her hair in a dark brown bob with flipped-out ends and a deep-side part that sweeps across her face.

Jackie Aina Wears Plunging Crystal Pink Suit to YSL Beauty Celebration
When Jackie Aina stepped out for the recent celebration hosted by Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, she arrived in a plunging crystal-embellished pink suit. She’s known for her sharp eye for beauty and branding.
The suit aligned with the brand’s identity and her perceived personality. Cut in a rich pink fabric, the color choice contrasted with her skin tone and the event’s evening setting. The blazer was tailored close to the body, with a deep plunging neckline exposing her midriff that replaced the need for an inner blouse or camisole. This design choice highlighted the craftsmanship of the suit and the crystal detailing that traced parts of the lapel and bodice.

Rather than scatter embellishments across the entire outfit, the crystals were placed strategically. The detailing of the jacket highlighted its shape and added texture without conflicting with the base fabric. Under event lighting, the stones created a soft shimmer that registered clearly in photos but still maintained its design.
The trousers followed the same tailored structure. High-waisted and fitted through the hips, they fell into a straight, slightly relaxed leg. With the blazer already detailed, the clean bottom made the look feel soft.

She opted for minimal jewellery, which allowed the crystal work to act as the primary accessory. Her earrings were delicate. She wore a Saint Laurent Amalia slingback pump. The pointed-toe structure of the heel gave off a sophisticated and classic look.
