Nigerian celebrities don’t hold back when it comes to fashion. They know how to keep us on our toes. From casual streetwear to royal-inspired outfits, they make dressing up look natural. August was no different, but what made the month stand out was that many of them leaned into blue shades.

These six stars stepped out looking fresh and striking. This line-up is a style masterclass worth taking notes on.

Here’s our best dressed in the month of August:

Medlin Boss: Mimi Yina

Medlin Boss called it her bloom season, and she proved it with this outfit. Dressed in green. the leafy details and rose design gave it a nature-inspired feel.

The short length added a chic energy to it, while her heels gave it an elegant vibe. She styled her hair in a straight bob with a side part and wore a beautiful gold watch to complete the look.

Diana Eneje

If there’s one person that keeps the Gen Z fashion industry inspired, it has to be Diana Eneje. Spotted on the streets of Tokyo, playfully calling herself the best dressed in Tokyo, the influencer wore a white crop top paired with oversized denim jorts.

She embraced the necktie trend, substituting it for a belt and giving the outfit a standout edge. She elevated the look with black knee-high sneakers and a small blue Birkin bag. Her ponytail hair was not left out as it complemented her outfit. This is the perfect balance of street style moments.

Tomike Adeoye

With a heart filled with gratitude towards her fans and loved ones, Funke posted a picture dressed in an oversized denim cropped jacket with wide-legged pants. The jacket slipped off one shoulder for a relaxed touch. One pant leg is designed with a bold patch detail. She finished the look in simple sleek back hair, makeup, and accessories.

Omowunmi Dada brought drama in an asymmetrical black dress with gold designs. The hemline and high slit gave it a daring look, while the black heels kept everything classy. Her glowing skin along with wet-look curls softened the drama of the dress. If fashion had a face, it would have been her.

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu

This list will be incomplete without the man of the hour, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and last month, he didn’t fail to show us why. Stepping out for the Big Brother Naija live eviction show on Sunday, he wore a deep blue agbada adorned with white embroidery, layered over a light blue under ensemble. His white turban, crowned with a feathered plume, made the outfit nothing short of regal. He sealed the look with dark blue shoes. Inspired by HRH Muhammadu Maccido, Ebuka embodied it without a doubt.

From the blooming season to inspired looks, August’s best dressed showed us that fashion is never one-size-fits-all. These stars didn’t just dress, they told stories, each one as bold as their unique personalities.

Mimi Yina was seen recently in a dress by Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, and it was unique one. The hot pink colour was the highlight of the gown, but the details of the outfit are what makes the dress noticeable.

The dress has a dramatic high-low silhouette, with a short, fitted sequined skirt visible at the front and a long flowing train that falls to the floor. The gown appears to be made from a pleated fabric, giving it a voluminous texture. It has a halter-neckline and is designed with large flora-shaped bows, one at the waist and the other one near the knee.

She paired the outfit with simple silver strappy heels and minimal jewelry. Everything worked well with the strong outfit. Her hair and makeup were kept neat and natural.

The outfit design is distinctive. Weiz Dhurm Franklyn took a different approach with this piece, especially in how the details of the dress were handled. On mimi the dress suited her, like it was meant solely for her. With the bright colour adding more character to the overall look.

With bold colours and heavy details becoming more common, this dress still stands out because of how well it was put together. Nothing feels random, from the pleats to the bow placement.

Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has built a reputation not just for his music but also for his personal style. In a recent interview, the Nigerian Afrobeats star shared his approach to fashion, especially his preference for black, and revealed how his mother influences the way he dresses.

Rema often starts with the basics, choosing black pieces as the foundation of his outfits. He explained that black allows him to build looks that reflect his personality without unnecessary distraction. This approach appears consistently in his streetwear, stage looks, and public appearances. He pays attention to details such as accessories and fit, combining comfort with a sense of personal expression.

Family also plays a role in his choices. Rema said his mother values him dressing in ways she considers responsible and presentable. He described this as guidance rather than limitation, a reminder of his upbringing and the values that shaped him.

In discussing style, Rema noted that clothing is a form of self-expression. He also touched on relationships, explaining that while financial stability matters, style and presentation are more important when considering a partner. This perspective mirrors his approach to fashion: thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in personal standards rather than trends or external pressures.

Rema – Instagram

Rema’s comments provide insight into how he balances public image and personal values. For him, fashion is more than appearance; it is a way to express identity, stay connected to his roots, and respect the expectations of those closest to him. By prioritizing simplicity, consistency, and responsibility, he demonstrates that style can be meaningful without being showy.
