Tiwa Savage Goes Full Daring in a High-Slit Gown

Tiwa Savage is not slowing down. The Queen of Afrobeats recently hit 800 million streams on Spotify and launched her own music foundation to support and mentor the next generation of African artists. That extends to her music is the same one she brings to her fashion choices. Her style has leaned into bolder styling over the years, and her latest look which she shared on Instagram on April 9, 2026, with the caption “She doesn’t step out, but when she does it’s a moment”.

Tiwa wore an avant-garde black floor-length gown that had a high neckline and long sleeves, creating a covered upper half that contrasts sharply to the lower half. Over the dress she layered it with a bolero jacket with hundreds of layers of 3D florals. In addition the dress had a thigh-high slit that gave it a modern touch.

For accessories, Tiwa chose gold statement pieces including two wide gold cuffs on her wrists, rings on her fingers, and gold drop earrings. She styled the look with a micro Fendi Baguette bag in gold. Her shoes were black pointed-toe heels with gold tips. Tiwa’s hair was styled in her signature pixie curls and her makeup included warm tones and a nude lip.

This is not her first major appearance this year. Back in March, she walked the MOBO Awards red carpet in a structured off-the-shoulder gown covered in 3D silver metallic tiles. This one is the complete opposite, all black, clean lines, a thigh-high slit, and gold accessories were precisely selected. Both look had one thing in common, they were both tightly constructed.
