When it comes to slaying Medlin Couture’s luxurious designs, Nigerian dancer and influencer Liquorose never misses. From sleek pantsuits to jaw-dropping evening gowns, she embodies the perfect mix of confidence, sexiness, and sophistication, making every outfit feel both aspirational and relatable. 

Whenever Liquorose steps out in a MedlinBoss fit, you know it’s about to be a moment. No over-the-top fashion jargon, no trying too hard, just pure, effortless slay. The kind that makes you screenshot, zoom in, and ask, “Where did she get those shoes?!”  

Here are five times she made us all wish we could raid her wardrobe:  

1. The Royal Blue Dress

This dress wasn’t just worn, it was owned. You know that one outfit that makes people do a double-take in the club, then whisper, “Who is she?” Yeah, this was that dress.

The blue chic dress definitely hugged and defined every curve like it was custom-made (because let’s be honest, it probably was). That high slit? Strategic.  

The details that made it stand out, the silver beading that caught the light just right, no cheap sequins here. Pairing it with strappy silver heels, thin straps, no ankle butchers.

With just one dainty bracelet (because the dress was the star). You could flaunt this to a Red carpet (if you’re fancy). 

VIP section of a club (if you’re that girl). Honestly, Anywhere you wanna leave people offended by how good you look.  

2. The Black Sequined Dress

Let’s be clear, this wasn’t just a dress, it was a whole cinematic moment. Like, if this gown walked into a room, violins should’ve started playing. Old Hollywood? More like “I am the main character in every classic film you wish you starred in.”  

The dress had head-to-toe sequins that sparkled, thigh-high slit and a plunge neckline. The feathered hem made every step look like a slow-motion movie scene.  

The black satin shawl and opera gloves,   

netted fascinator with feathers, pure 1920s giving “I might poison your drink later” energy.

A strappy silver heels and a  single pearl bracelet with slicked-back waves, red lips. This would be all fun for a Met Gala afterparty. 

3. The Sleek Black And Silver Fabric

This dress will make everyone else look like they got dressed in the dark. The kind of dress that makes photographers trip over their own feet trying to get the shot. If Cinderella’s fairy godmother had a glow-up, this would be her final form in Liquorose.

The black fabric is so sleek, it looked painted on. The deep V-neck with sheer detailing is a subtle seduction. That asymmetrical silver wing cascading down one side is pure art.

Like a high-fashion butterfly decided to perch on her and never leave. Not a single bead was out of place. Dangling earrings pieces One delicate sparkle of bracelet on the wrist, because sometimes one is enough when the dress is doing this much. Award shows where you’re nominated should have you looking this good.  

4. The Floral Black Dress

This dress is a typical black & brown-white dress that stole the show without even trying. You know that one outfit that makes people stop mid-sentence just to say, “wow” Yeah, this was that dress. Not too loud, not too quiet, just perfectly unforgettable on Liquorose body. 

The beautiful colour  Play was definitely turning heads, black bottom half, sleek, slimming, white top with floral detailing, fresh, feminine, but still grown woman.  

That high slit was just enough leg to keep it sexy, not scandalous. Going for strappy heels (nude or metallic) to keep the focus on that slit. Thin gold hoops + one delicate bracelet, to let the dress shine. If you’re  a wedding guest, this would do perfectly. 

5. The Sunshine-Yellow Fringe Set

This dress is the kind that makes you screenshot, zoom in, and immediately text your group chat: “Where can I get this?!” It’s safe to say Liquorose is a fashion goddess. The vibrant yellow is not for the faint-hearted, but Liquorose wears it like it’s her signature shade. 

Bright, bold, and unapologetic, perfect for standing out in a sea of basic neutrals. The flare pants with just the right amount of drama, swishy, fun, and leg-lengthening magic.

Shoulderless top with fringes that move with every step, adding playful energy to the look.  

This was definitely giving Retro vibes but making it modern. Like ‘70s disco met 2024 street style. Rock this with a nude or metallic heels to keep legs looking miles long. Minimal, maybe a cuff bracelet or small hoops for accessories.

Let the fringe do the talking. This is a Girls’ night out, a summer party, or literally anywhere you want to be the best-dressed in the room. 

Which one of these dresses would you be adding to your favourite Liquorose collection?
