Who Wore it Best? Highlights from This Week’s Style Stars
Every week, our favorite fashionistas step out, and we can’t help but pause, and soak in the style magic they serve. This week, the girls didn’t come to play—they came to slay, and we’re here for every glitter, pleat, fringe, and fierce pose. From elegant silhouettes to daring colors, here are the standout looks that had us double-tapping and screenshotting. So, who wore it best? Let’s dive in.
Lilly Afe: A Blend of Breeze and Boldness

Lilly Afe
Lilly Afe gave us a perfect mash-up of soft elegance and cultural pride with her look, and honestly? It was a fashion sermon. She rocked a two-piece ensemble that looked like something straight out of a dreamy, seaside fashion fantasy. The top? A halter-neck made of pleated, sheer mint green fabric, delicate yet fitted, cinching the waist like a soft corset before falling gently.
Then boom! The skirt came in with the drama, a vibrant, African-inspired maxi that popped with swirling teal, orange, black, and white patterns. It was giving Motherland meets Milan. She paired it with a crisp white rectangular bag and sleek pointed white heels peeking from under the skirt. With her blunt bangs and long dark hair framing her face, she had worn this to an event, and the whole look was effortlessly chic—modern, rooted, and unapologetically stylish.
Beverly Naya: Subtle Luxe with a Twist

Beverly Naya
Beverly Naya does not miss, and she didn’t this time either. She stepped out in an olive green midi dress that whispered luxury in the classiest tone ever. The fabric looked buttery smooth, like something between silk and satin, and it hugged her figure like a custom dream. The neckline? A simple high cowl neck that said, “I don’t need to try hard.”
But the real spice was at the hem, soft fringe detailing in the same olive hue that swayed with her every move. It was the perfect little touch of playful glam. Add to that her off-white clutch, matching statement earrings, and a gold watch? Whew. This look was perfectly picked for her dinner date. Her hair was styled in a polished updo, and the vibe? Grown, graceful, and glowing.
Prudent Gabriel: Sharp, Stylish, and Sleek

Prudent Gabriel
Spotted in a photoshoot, Prudent came through looking like a walking piece of modern art on her very own design from her brand, and we loved it! Her body-hugging midi dress played with color and geometry in the most interesting way. Burgundy red formed the base, clean and rich, while a dusty blue panel sliced right down the center, stretching from shoulder to hem in a sharp, almost futuristic cut.
It gave “boss woman with an eye for edgy elegance.” The structure of the dress was bold but balanced, and her sharp bob hairstyle added even more power to the look. She kept accessories simple, just a gold bracelet and her nails done to perfection. The whole fit was modern, fashion-forward, and a masterclass in how to make a statement without shouting.
Veekee James: Royalty in Sequins and Silk

Veekee James
Veekee James did what needed to be done at the wedding ceremony of Nashaira Belisa. Her gown? A rich, regal mix of deep purple and emerald green that screamed red carpet royalty. The bottom half sparkled with purple sequins, like a galaxy of stars sewn into fabric—while the top half cinched her waist in a corset-style emerald green bodice that brought all the drama and all the elegance.
She didn’t stop there. A matching emerald chiffon flowed from the waist like a queen’s cape, and the purple headwrap? Perfectly sculpted, echoing the sparkle of her dress. Her metallic purple purse tied everything together, and with makeup that highlighted her natural glow, the whole look was pure opulence. If there was an award for coordination, she’d win it hands down.
Tolu Bally: Sleek in Lime and Lace

Tolu Bally
Tolu Bally served futuristic glam with a soft touch of sensuality. She wore a lime-green floor-length gown that fit like it was made by the fashion gods themselves. It had a snatched bodice with a plunging neckline and a cheeky keyhole detail that kept things spicy. But the real moment? Forest-green lace accents around the neckline and waist that added just the right amount of contrast and flair.
Then came the drama, long lace gloves climbing all the way to her shoulders. It was giving Old Hollywood meets Afro-glam. A delicate silver necklace was her only accessory, letting the dress do all the talking. She had worn this design from her brand 2207bytbally to celebrate with Damilola Adegbite (Adedamee) on her birthday and trust us, it had a lot to say. Tolu didn’t just wear a dress; she made a statement.
Each of these women brought something unique to the table, elegance, edge, sparkle, tradition, or a mix of all. Whether you’re team Lilly’s print-meets-pleats, Beverly’s subtle luxe, Prudent’s architectural chic, Veekee’s royal shimmer, or Tolu’s lacey lime glow, one thing’s clear: Nigerian style stars are in a league of their own.
Let us know your fave in the comments, because choosing just one? It’s not so easy.

Chimezie Imo Pays Homage to Michael B. Jordan’s “Sinners” Look
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 Eke Wears Colourful Celestial Mini Dress by Lale Season
On March 10, 2026, Mercy Eke stepped out in a visually striking outfit and she captioned it with “Doing the least, but somehow it’s still doing the most” and the caption said everything.

Mercy Eke – Instagram
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.

Mercy Eke – Instagram
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.

Her hair was styled long and wavy with a middle part, sitting past her shoulders. Her makeup was classic full-glam, complementing her features.
Mercy often chooses standout pieces. She picks statement-making pieces and wears them without dialing anything down. This dress was bold from every angle.
