Lagos Fashion Week 2025 may have ended, but their looks are still unforgettable. Some celebrities played it safe, others went overboard, still they all came styled in their best outfit. Here are eight celebrities whose outfits stood out.

Idia Aisen

Idia described as versatile and iconic in Sevon Dejana Brand black tuxedo dress that’s covered in butterfly details. The shoulders were sharp and structured, and she carried a small Chanel black handbag. Her blonde hair was the perfect match for it.

Mercy Eke

Mercy Eke appeared in LFJ mini dress with nothing on the back, front covered with circular discs arranged like petals from top to hem. Her hair was styled in a pulled back ponytail. She wore white heels and carried a pink bag completing the outfit.

Omowunmi Dada captioned, her picture, “ate it and left no crumbs” in a Weiz Dhurm Franklyn black mini dress paired with a jacket with gold teardrop embellishments. Sheer and lace detailing at the hemline. She held a pink purse with her, and the red curtain background made the pictures come out well.

Chioma Ikokwu

The style queen herself expressed gratitude on how proud she is about Nigerian fashion dressed in Imad Eduso white sheer top tucked in satin skirt, and a jeweled belt, but what really made the look noticeable was the feathered thigh-high boots. Her camouflage cap was unexpected, yet it complemented the outfit.

Teminikan

Green couldn’t have looked any better as Teminikan chose a Mulãwwan bright chartreuse green gown with bubble hems stacked on top of each other. The colour alone was a statement, and the shape gave it a fashion feel. She kept her bag and heels black.

Hawa Magaji

Hawa wore a ASO Nigeria turquoise lace dress that had tassels from the hem and structured shoulders that gave it shape. The dress flared out at the end, and she wore jeweled heels

Elozonam

Elozonam looked sharp in his Kulture X plaid. The fitted top, wide-leg trousers, and wide hat was a perfect combination. It exuded classic old-school style.

Lily Afegbai

Hertunba opened the official runway shows at Lagos Fashion Week 2026 on Thursday, October 29, with its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, titled New World. Presented by designer Florentina Agu at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, the collection brought together the brand’s familiar handwoven Akwete skirts and fitted dresses with shorter silhouettes, fringe, lace, sequins and wooden beads.

Lagos Fashion Week 2026 runs from October 28 to November 1 under the theme CRAFTED: Heritage. Innovation. Circular Futures.

The idea behind New World came from Agu’s desire to imagine a society where women could dress freely without the fear of being judged or restricted by expectations of modesty. As a firstborn daughter raised in a strict religious household, the designer explained that her upbringing still influences some of the clothing choices she feels comfortable making, despite her independence. She used the collection to picture a different Nigeria where women could express themselves through fashion without such restrictions. This thinking brought about the shorter hemlines, playful cuts and more revealing designs introduced to the collection.

Across the display, fringe appeared as a major detail, worked into garments using materials such as beads and wool. Lace and wooden beads were also introduced into some of the designs, while sequins were used on a black maxi dress. The colour selection included blue, cream, brown and black, with red appearing in the beaded details. Among the standout designs were a blue and cream mini dress with fringe detailing and a black sequin maxi dress.

One of the woven designs was a black-and-white co-ord with a geometric pattern. It consisted of a bustier with a flared peplum and a matching column skirt, worn with a sheer black cape in a lattice design.

Founded by Agu in 2020, Hertunba works with Nigerian artisans who contribute to the making of its garments through weaving, threading and tailoring. The brand draws on indigenous weaving techniques and also reuses excess textiles from production, turning them into wearable pieces and home accessories.

The collection followed a see-now, buy-now approach, with Agu working with her artisans months ahead of the show to make the designs available online immediately after the runway presentation.

Nigerian fashion label Orange Culture presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, titled The In-Between, at Lagos Fashion Week 2026. Unveiled by designer Adebayo Oke-Lawal on October 28, the collection explored longing and self-appreciation through printed garments, contrasting colours and distinctive cuts.

The presentation began with large pieces of fabric hanging from the venue’s ceiling, each carrying messages about love and self-acceptance. Models later appeared in garments made from soft fabrics and cut into different shapes. Oke-Lawal said he wanted guests to connect with the presentation personally and see it as an opportunity to appreciate themselves.

Among the looks was a red and black dress with a deep side cut-out. Another featured a flowing two-piece set in pink and butter yellow chiffon. Other outfits combined contrasting shades with printed fabrics, while some featured loose shapes and unexpected proportions.

Some of the prints drew inspiration from the floor tiles in Oke-Lawal’s childhood home, which was destroyed in a fire. The designer brought this memory into the collection through patterns that referenced the former home. The range also included new crochet pieces, introducing a different approach to the label’s use of fabric and texture.

Oke-Lawal also challenged the usual divisions between menswear and womenswear. A red crocheted top previously worn by a woman in an earlier collection returned as a menswear piece in The In-Between. Its reappearance reflected the label’s approach to clothing without assigning particular styles to one gender.

Founded in 2011, Orange Culture is a Lagos-based fashion label that draws on Nigerian influences in its contemporary designs.

The presentation was part of the opening-day activities at Lagos Fashion Week 2026, which ran under the theme CRAFTED: Heritage. Innovation. Circular Futures.

Frances Theodore wore an off-the-shoulder black mini dress with red beaded trimming along the neckline. The dress had a transparent black skirt that flowed to the hem, finished with red and black feathers. She completed the look with sheer black opera-length gloves.

The collection moved tailoring away from the usual suit, mixing strong cuts with gentle details. For ATAFO, a woman in formal clothes is free to leave old rules behind, and the show treated power dressing as something that can feel soft and feminine.
