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.

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.

Is Destiny Etiko Reviving the Denim Jumpsuit Trend?
Destiny Etiko’s latest appearance in a denim jumpsuit wasn’t something we were expecting. On January 16 she stepped out in a denim jumpsuit, a style that has lost its trend for a while. In a time where celebrity fashion leans toward bodycon dresses and coordinated sets, her choice for a denim jumpsuit feels well-thought out.
The light-wash one-piece depended on its cut. It was form-fitted at the waist, loose through the legs, and gathered at the ankles, giving the outfit a delicate shape. There was nothing extravagant about the design.

Destiny Etiko – Instagram
Destiny Etiko complemented the jumpsuit with hot pink heeled sandals designed with a large, soft-looking floral appliqués and a pink quilted shoulder bag with a gold chain strap adding structure and style to the look. The accessories mixed easily with the outfit.
Denim jumpsuit have gone through different evolutions over the years. Once commonly worn, then they gradually faded as trends moved toward figure-hugging silhouette and two-piece outfits. In recent times, they have appeared less often in celeb style, Destiny’s choice to go for a denim jumpsuit was quite noticeable. The look didn’t feel like a throwback instead, it felt thoughtful.
Destiny Etiko’s fashion choices often connect with styles many women relate with. This style followed that pattern, appearing comfortable and easy to wear.

Destiny Etiko – Instagram
The denim jumpsuit also offers utility. As a single piece, it eliminates the stress of combining separate pieces while still delivering a complete look. This simplicity fits into how most people approach everyday dressing.
Is Destiny Etiko reviving the denim jumpsuit trend? It might be too early to say. However, wearing it at a time when it has lost its trend, she has brought attention back to the style.
