Nancy Isime brings a seasoned ease to this Lanre DaSilva Ajayi gown, worn during the designer’s 20th anniversary celebration. Her caption “Once a Model, Forever a Model” sets the tone for the moment as a natural return to a space she’s always been comfortable in.

Shot by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, she leans into a dress that does the work on its own. The gown comes in a full, structured form covered in oversized appliqué florals cut in velvet and set over a dotted sheer layer that gives the fabric depth without reducing its force. The saturated mix of red, yellow, and green aligns with LDA’s trademark approach to bold design and intricate handwork.

Her styling remains intentional. The gold drop earrings offer a counterpoint without pulling focus away from the dress, and the straight, neat hair keeps the attention on the dress. It shows the kind of clean beauty direction often used in Vogue’s eveningwear stories where the garment leads.

Nancy tags Dabota Lawson, Beauty Tukura, and Idia Aisien because they also walked the runway at the anniversary event, creating a shared moment among women with long-term ties to the fashion scene. The caption reads more like a nod to familiar ground than a staged setup.

The final impression is clear and controlled: a unique piece, a capable team, and someone who knows exactly how to wear a dress built for presence.

Hilda Baci has proven time and again that her influence extends far beyond the kitchen. Her recent appearance in a yellow dress serves as a strong example, demonstrating not just how to wear the colour, but how to elevate it.

From her Instagram post, she wore a floor-length, one-shoulder gown with a short sleeve on the right hand and a draped cinched detail across the bodice and waist. The fabric gathered at the left side and flowed down into a slightly asymmetrical hemline. She opted for single accessory on her wrist.

Her clothing choices are clearly intentional. They reflect her persona. Her personality is defined by her endurance, persistence, and ambition in challenging the odds and remaining resilient. The colour works well because it highlights her dark skin tone, building a contrast that is warm and vibrant. It’s also a colour that draws focus. She seeks to be seen and her colour choices ensure that.

This dress also reflects her unapologetic confidence and self-expression. In a world where high achievers are expected to conform to conservative styling, Hilda has repeatedly defended her figure-hugging choices.

Something to draw from her styling is how she has mastered how her skin tone and her colour choices make a strong contrast.

Define a more perfect monochromatic powerful look than this all-white suit by Chinenye Nnebe. She redefined this outfit, using it as a canvas to project confidence and an audacious sense of self.

The pant suit is a loose-fitting, oversized white blazer, a matching button-down inner shirt worn under the blazer and wide-leg trousers. Where most people would pair this look with safe choices like a neutral heel or a metallic clutch, Chinenye Nnebe takes it up a notch by making a revolutionary difference by pairing this look with a red baseball cap and a matching Adidas branded canvas transforming a potentially formal outfit into a defiant streetwear style.

Beyond the attention drawn with her baseball cap and footwear, her white underarm clutch bag takes center stage. It’s like that extra finishing in an outfit you never expected to turn out well.

The beauty of this all-white suit lies in its monochromatic purity. It is bold because it requires intentionality and carefulness; any flaw in styling can be noticed. Her choice of hue sends an unspoken message: she’s meticulous, polished, and ready to command attention while being fiercely minimal in her fashion choices.

This outfit works perfectly for any event or shoot because of the effortless styling. The neutrality of the white is perfectly activated by the intensity of the red. A contrast between cool and calm. She’s setting a trend that doesn’t conform to the normal fashion landscape.
