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

Chimezie Imo has been in the U.S. for several weeks, sharing a series of street-style looks on Instagram, from Brooklyn to Times Square. A common thread across these outfits has been a focus on monochromatic shades. Yesterday, he posted a new look that marked a departure from his usual street style something more elevated. With the “Sinners” track ‘Magic What We Do’ by Ludwig Goranss attached to the post, it became clear he was paying homage to Michael B. Jordan’s dual characters in the film, captioning the photo: ‘Meet me at half past 4’.

He wore a mid-length charcoal grey herringbone overcoat with notched lapels and buttoned front. He layered it with a yellow and brown plaid vest paired with a white shirt and a burgundy-coloured tie running straight down the middle. For his bottom he wore wide-leg, high-waisted grey trousers that matched the cool tones of his overcoat.

Chimezie accessorized his look with a grey flat cap that complemented his black leather gloves and a bold red Telfer bag as a statement piece. His outfit was completed with black patent leather shoes.

The strength of the look comes from its layering. Many men avoid waistcoats, but Chimezie wears a full three-piece outfit. The plaid waistcoat under the wool overcoat provides a break in the solid tones of the coat, while the burgundy tie matches the red in his bag, completing the outfit.

He carried black leather gloves in one hand, adding a classic accessory to the outfit.

His style leans heavily into a vintage-inspired smart-casual look that emphasizes on layering and texture as he combines formal elements with modern streetwear style.

Mercy wore a long-sleeved bodycon mini gown featuring a colourful celestial-inspired graphic print from Lale Season. The dress has a turtleneck that creates a smooth shape. The print transitions from a yellow and orange sun motif on the chest to deep blue night sky pattern near the hem. The sleeves has a multi-coloured design with hints of floral details.

The fabric had a slight sheen. The turtleneck neckline gave the top half a defined shape while the rest of the dress stayed fitted all the way to mid-thigh. Pairing long sleeves with a mini this short can be difficult to style but the proportions worked here. The length sat just at mid-thigh and the outfit created a clear, balanced proportion.

For footwear she wore black strappy heeled sandals with gold hardware at the toe and ankle. The shoes complemented the dress without drawing focus. A single gold bracelet and on her wrist and simple earrings was the only jewellery on display.

Mercy often chooses standout pieces. She picks statement-making pieces and wears them without dialing anything down. This dress was bold from every angle.
