Nigerian Celebrities Who Take Fashion Risks.
One undebatable fact is that the Nigerian fashion scene is very daring. In a world where fashion is mostly performative dress ups, some Nigerian celebrities have made decisions to stand out. They do not just stand out in their crafts and beauty, they also set paces in the ways they choose to style themselves.
These Nigerian celebrities have understood that fashion is not just all about wearing pieces of clothing and makeup. They understand that it is also an art and rebellion. They have chosen not to define their senses of fashion with the standards that everyone goes by, rather they have made a solo path to tow on while others follow.
Some of these Nigerian celebrities include:
Nancy Isime

TV host and actress, Nancy Isime has carved a niche for herself with a fashion style that blends athleticism with elegance. She’s not your average glam girl; she’s fierce, dynamic, and always evolving.
Nancy takes risks by blending sporty and feminine aesthetics. She’s walked red carpets in tuxedos, dyed her hair blonde when it was still the wrongest thing to do, and consistently pushes the envelope with her hairstyles and bold prints.
Her fashion risks also extend into performance and hosting outfits; dramatic shoulder pads, leather corsets, and jumpsuits that showcase her toned physique. She doesn’t shy away from clothing that screams “power.”
Toke Makinwa

Media personality, influencer, and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa lives and breathes high fashion. She’s not afraid of the dramatic, the extravagant, or the sparkly. Her fashion risks often involve bold colors, racy cuts, and luxurious fabrics that scream confidence.
From plunging necklines to neon faux-fur coats, Toke has walked red carpets and graced social events in fashion pieces that only a few coud pull off. Her Instagram feed is a lookbook of high-risk, high-reward fashion moments.

Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage is one of the few Nigerian celebrities who is not only a musical legend but also a fashion icon who constantly reinvents her style.h Whether she’s performing on international stages or attending Lagos fashion week, Tiwa knows how to command attention with her bold and most times, controversial fashion choices.
She is not afraid to use fashion to highlight her femininity, not minding what netizens have to say about her daring fashion choices.
One day she is putting on an oversized jacket with boots then the next day she is rocking a very sultry bikini while having fun at the beach. Her powerful fashion statements often sparks conversations online- both praises and criticism. Tiwa, however, does not care as she remains unapologetic about her fashion choices.
Tems

Tems is one out of Nigerian celebrities whose fashion choices steps out of the ordinary. She does not roll with the regular flashy celebrity fashion, yet she stands out whenever she makes an outing.
She has a thing for comfort and self expression as she favours calm tones, oversized pieces and dramatic outfits that rebels against the hyper feminine expectations placed on Nigerian celebrities.
Shaffy Bello

Shaffy Bello has redefined what it means to be stylish as a woman over 40. She is elegant, regal, and absolutely fearless in her fashion choices. Her presence at any red carpet event immediately raises the bar.
She embraces bold prints, dramatic ruffles, oversized jewelry, and high-fashion pieces. Shaffy wears fashion with the confidence of someone who knows herself and doesn’t need validation.
Her fashion risks are deeply tied to embracing age with style. She proves that older women can be just as daring and fashionable, challenging ageism in the entertainment industry.
You might want to have a rethink when next you have to step out in a fashion piece. You can choose to work with the normal or choose to step out of the ordinary.

Akin Faminu’s Funky Colour Combination Is Hard to Ignore
Akin Faminu knows exactly who he is when it comes to style, and that clarity shows in everything he wears. His latest shoot, captioned “Matcha” and photographed by Kimilokan, is proof of that.
He wore an oversized, single-breasted blazer from Cruxin a bright chartreuse with a distinct, heavy textured weave, structured shoulders and wide lapels. He paired it with oversized, wide-leg trousers in an olive-to-forest green gradient. The pants featured ripped detailing near the thighs and a contrasting pattern around the hem.

His accessories included a leather duffle bag in glossy, bright Kelly green featuring dual handles and front utility pockets, also from Crux.xyz. A metallic gold brooch shaped like a hand was pinned to the right lapel of the blazer. He added round dark-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame, a thin choker-style necklace, and multiple rings. He completed the look with rounded-toe platform shoes that mirror the bright lime yellow of the blazer, peeking out from beneath the wide trouser hems.

It has been a busy year for Faminu personally too. He married Kiky Festus in April this year. He was also at Ojude Oba 2026 last week, wearing a layered Aso-Oke look in rich wine, gold and blue tones that many people could not stop sharing. A full year by any measure, and his style has kept up with every moment of it
His tailored shoot for Deji and Kola shows the other side of his personal style entirely. Burgundy and navy blazer, cream trousers, dark loafers from Adamskahz, and a tan leather briefcase from Deji and Kola. Quiet, sharp, and just as considered.

Dabota Lawson’s Italian Getaway Is a Vintage Fashion Dream Come to Life
Dabota Lawson celebrated her birthday on June 2nd in Positano, Italy, with a series of birthday photographs which she captioned “Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes. I wish you all of God’s choicest blessings. Cheers to an iconic year.”
Positano is one of the most photographed places in the world, with its pastel buildings climbing up the cliffs and the Mediterranean stretching out below.

Lawson was photographed wearing a pristine white bodycon dress with a ruched torso, soft hip folds and an asymmetric draped off-the-shoulder neckline.
For accessories, Dabota wore a vintage-style headscarf tied under the chin which had a bold black-and-white border design, paired with white-rimmed square sunglasses with dark lenses. She carried an elongated leather clutch in a vibrant pastel yellow. For jewellery, she wore a silver bracelet and a wristwatch on her right wrist.

Photo: Instagram
Her makeup consisted of defined brows, warm earthy tones and a nude lip. Lawson wrapped up her look with silver open-toe stiletto heeled sandals with a criss-cross strap design.

Back in May, Dabota was seen in a white blazer suit with crystal detailing on the shoulders and cuffs for the launch of her Dabota Cosmetics store. That look was tailored and formal. This one is looser, relaxed and vacation-ready.

Chioma Ikokwu Just Gave Us the Ultimate Lesson in French Riviera Chic
If you have been a fan of Chioma Ikokwu on Instagram, you already know that dressing well is something she takes seriously. The Good Hair Ltd CEO and Real Housewives of Lagos star posted some photos on her Instagram from her visit to Èze, a hilltop village on the French Riviera, with the caption: “Somewhere between the sea and the sky, deep in the South, lies a little piece of magic called Èze.”

Photo: Instagram
Chioma wore a white, short-sleeved cotton shirt dress from Celine with a buttoned collar, button-down front and a crystal-encrusted monogram on the left chest pocket. The dress featured a pleated, midi-length skirt and was cinched at the waist with a thin white belt finished with a gold buckle.

Her accessories included a wide-brimmed woven straw hat with a pearl trim attached to the brim. She carried the Celine Mini Triomphe Classic Panier bag with a tan leather top handle and a leather logo patch on the front. She also carried a traditional white paper and bamboo parasol in her right hand. For jewellery, she wore gold earrings and layered metallic bracelets.
Ikokwu completed the outfit with pointed-toe white slingback kitten heels featuring a fishnet overlay across the front. Her beauty look included a smokey eye and a glossy nude-pink lip.

Back in April, Chioma hosted her Chioma’s Closet pop-up in a mint green tweed halterneck jumpsuit with a deep V-neckline and wide-leg trousers with green fringe at the hem. Next to the Èze photos, the difference were clear. She switched between a relaxed, easygoing style and a super chic, minimalist look. Chioma definitely cares about her clothes.
