There’s probably a blazer sitting in your closet, shoved to the back after that one job interview. But Naija celebs are proving that blazers aren’t just office wear anymore; they’re now style essentials, with stars like Beauty Tukura, Veekee James, Tiwa Savage, Liquorose, Akin Faminu, and Adekunle Gold showing how blazer goals can inspire your next outfit.

Beauty Tukura turned a simple pinstripe into a statement. Her navy blazer set, tailored with mid-thigh shorts, balances polish with playfulness. Pearl clusters lining the cuffs and hem gave it a refined edge. Oversized shades, a polished ponytail, and silver strappy heels sealed the look. Swap the shorts for trousers and it’s boardroom-ready; keep them and it’s perfect for a night out.

Veekee James has built a reputation for sharp custom fits, and her black double-breasted blazer proves why. Designed with an asymmetric hem and paired with wide-leg trousers, it showed off her signature balance of structure and softness. Known for styling Nollywood stars like Tomike Adeoye at the AMVCAs, Veekee makes tailoring modern and versatile. For everyday wear, a neutral-toned version with a bold lip works as refined power dressing.

Tiwa Savage’s beige tweed blazer at a “Ralph’s Club New York” event was far from ordinary. Oversized with wide lapels, it draped over sheer gold pants and strappy heels. The chunky knit texture nodded to vintage fashion while still reading contemporary. Off the carpet, the same blazer could easily top jeans and a white tee for a Lagos-ready look.

Liquorose showed her flair with a blazer shifting from orange to pink, layered over a white shirt and wide-leg pants. Gold hoops and finger waves gave it retro polish. From her AMVCA-winning looks to recent monochrome moments, she proves bold colour and sharp tailoring can work in harmony. For a similar vibe, pick a bright blazer and keep the rest simple.

Dr. Akin Faminu swapped his white coat for standout fashion. His chartreuse textured blazer over an olive shirt, accented with a red floral brooch and paired with baggy denim, created a striking play on contrasts. With Yoruba-inspired Adire in his past collections and a best-dressed win at the AMVCAs, Akin blends tradition with global polish. A colourful blazer with chinos and a pocket square is an easy way to capture his confident style.

Adekunle Gold has mastered relaxed sophistication. His grey checkered double-breasted blazer over a white shirt was simple yet commanding. With cornrows and a statement ring, his look carried understated confidence. From Adire-inspired fits to standout Afropunk performances, AG shows how blazers can shift between casual and elevated. Adding bold accessories is his go-to trick for instant polish.

Blazers are no longer just for job interviews or office cubicles. From Beauty’s pearl details to Adekunle’s laid-back checks, Naija stars prove these jackets are versatile and personal. That forgotten blazer in your closet? It might just be the piece that turns your next look into a statement.

Ini Dima-Okojie arrived in white styled by Okolo Obiechina of Swazzi. Wide-leg trousers, a tailored coat, and a pearl-fringed hat set the tone, while the walking stick in her hand completed a look that was more character study than accessory play.

Lily Afegbai wearing LDM

Lily Afegbai chose a plaid suit from LDM that showed how sharply a pattern can be cut. The jacket carried sharp lines, trousers fell neatly over her shoes, and the whole suiting balanced strict tailoring with ease.

Bisola wearing SOMO

Bisola Aiyeola, who also produced the film, wore a custom SOMO design. Her structured dress ran perfectly into matching knee-high boots, the two pieces working together as if they were one continuous garment.

Adesua Etomi wearing House of Julyet Peters

Adesua Etomi made a return to public events in ivory from House of Julyet Peters. An overcoat layered on a sleeveless vest dress in fine wool, the minimalism of tone allowed the sharpness of cut to do the work.

Kie Kie wearing Soft AIV Couture

Kie Kie turned the theme into theatre with a trench coat from Soft AIV Couture. She leaned into the mafia-boss mood, a cigarette in mouth, and the attitude to make it convincing.

Timini Egbuson, delivered on the theme, styled by Yomo Daj. His three-piece tailored set mirrored the original Peaky Blinders look, from the proportion of the waistcoat to the fall of the trousers.

Bolaji Ogunmola wearing LDM

Bolaji Ogunmola, another co-producer, stood out in butter-yellow LDM tailoring. The three-piece carried the same formal cut, but the choice of colour gave it a memorable edge.

Every look on the carpet came back to detail: coats with weight, hats with authority, boots and cigars used not as accessories but as part of the language of the night. ‘Gingerrr’ asked for ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and the Lagos premiere delivered it with discipline and character.
