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.

Chinenye Nnebe Owns the All-white Suit Look
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.

Chioma Ikokwu Wears Lanre DaSilva Ajayi’s SS26 Couture at the Designer’s 20-Year Celebration
Chioma Ikokwu arrived at Lanre Da Silva Ajayi’s 20th anniversary fashion show in Lagos wearing one of the standout looks from the newly released SS26 “Anniversary Collection.” The event marked two decades of the designer’s work and brought together long-time supporters of the brand and industry observers.

The dress she wore came straight from the runway and remained the main element of her appearance. The bodice used transparent panels reinforced with black contour lines, allowing the internal construction to be visible while still holding shape. Instead of relying on embellishment, the design focused on firm structure and precise shaping. The skirt shifted from the fitted bodice into layered black-and-white tulle arranged in uneven tiers that created volume without overwhelming the overall form.

This look reflects the direction of the SS26 collection, where Lanre Da Silva Ajayi leans more toward sculpted forms and technical control than the intricate detailing associated with some of her earlier work. The approach marks a clear shift in how the brand handles contrast, texture, and dimensionality.
Chioma kept her styling minimal. Black gloves, simple heels, and defined makeup ensured the dress remained the central focus. Photos taken across the venue show the piece maintaining its form consistently, reinforcing the designer’s intention for the dress to perform well both on and off the runway.

The brand highlighted Chioma’s appearance in its #LDA20 posts, and coverage of the anniversary event noted her look as one of the pieces that best represented the collection’s emphasis on structure, clarity, and controlled design. Many guests attended the milestone show, but Chioma’s choice stood out because it allowed the craftsmanship of the piece to remain fully visible without distraction.
