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:

Toke has been showing consistent style choices. In one of her recent posts, she wore a Lisa Folawiyo dress that shows a designer exploring bold colour combinations.

The print consists of green, blue, and yellow, in a colour mix that differs from her usual work. The gown showcases a fitted cape style with a slight opening at the side of bust. It has volume at the edge, while the brief length ensures it remains easy to wear.

Lisa Folawiyo is known for intricate designs and embellishments, but this style emphasizes colour structure. It’s clean, and more pared-back than what she is recognized for.

Toke Makinwa: Instagram

Toke completed the look with green platform that mirror the shades in the print. It added height elevation and vibrancy, maintaining the overall effect without overwhelming the dress.

A neutral shoe would have dulled the effect and diminished the dress’s impact. Her short haircut and bold makeup kept the focus steady, letting the dress be the main attraction.

Toke Makinwa: Instagram

The dress worked well because every element of it felt intentional. Toke Makinwa carried the look with ease.

The confidence in her look unifies the entire appearance. When a strong piece meets someone who knows how to wear it, the outfit speaks for itself.

The outfit works perfectly for such an event which celebrated two decades of excellence and achievement in the fashion industry. Not a small feat. Her outfit is chic without being stuffy, and glamourous without being overly traditional and dramatic even though you might have expected her to be considering the kind of event it is. Her outfit strikes a perfect balance between evening-wear elegance and party-ready fun, which allows her to move freely and socialize.

An interesting element of her outfit is the artistic design in the front area. It’s a perfect conversation started because when you see the design you can’t help but admire loudly and for such a high-profile event, making more premium connections is key. Her outfit reflected her style: bold, body-confident, and undeniably luxurious.

Priscilla wore a yellow Farin Collection dress to the Bozdiamond event, and only the colour made a striking appearance. The dress had a halter neck that frames her shoulders in a clean, simple, shape. There was a nothing extra on it.

From the waist down, the dress flowed into layered ruffles that go all the way to the floor. The ruffles added movement and it did not overwhelm the outfit. They all sat neat in levels that make the gown appear well-built and intentional.

She completed the look with a wide white hat that gave the outfit a crisp, fresh edge. The hat was not there to overcome the outfit, it elevated it.

Her accessories followed the same calm style. She chose a green beaded handbag that gave a small but noticeable contrast. The gold pieces on her wrist, neck, and ear are simple enough to stay quietly while still adding their own uniqueness. To crown it all up, the yellow colour complemented her smooth shining skin.

What makes the outfit is how tidy the entire outfit feels. The colours did not clash, the pieces did not compete, and nothing appeared like it was added last minute. It shows that she really paid attention to the styling.

The Farin Collection made a beautiful dress, but it’s Priscilla’s calm and steady way of wearing it with her star personality that completes the picture. She doesn’t try to force anything, she just allows it to speak for itself.
