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 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.

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 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 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.
