Grace is often described as many things, but elegance and poise are common references. Nigerian designer Lisa Folawiyo wore a lace turtleneck maxi dress with such grace. It was a fair sight and indeed elegant. The color-tiered dress was a regal wonder, and fit perfectly with her subtle accessories. Plus, her short haircut was the right choice to show off her squared, sexy shoulders.

#4. Alex Asogwa
Big Brother Naija star Alex Asogwa wore her Product Experience Specialist hat at the Africa Marketing Technology and E-commerce conference. A highlight of this appearance was her Nelo Woman cut-out dress with multicolor circles that emphasized her frame. She styled this with fuschia pink pumps and a matching mini bag for a girly vibe. Such a dress could be a tool in the hands of anyone in the micro-flirting trend, as it doesn’t come on strong but screams effortless confidence.
#5. Prudent Gabriel
Modest fashion is IN. Recently, the trend has racked up traffic, and the search for conservative pieces has skyrocketed. Back then, there were limited options and undesirable silhouettes, but that’s become a thing of the past. Nigerian designers like Prudent Gabriel are part of the gang that has taken conservative dressing to elite status. Recently, she posed in a champagne high-neck blouse styled with a below-the-knee flare skirt and nude shoes for a charming take on quiet luxury.
#6. Kehinde Bankole
African prints have become one of the global leading patterns. High-end designers are open to the versatility of these prints, and the runways can attest to this. Actress Kehinde Bankole has been on press rounds for her new movie “Funmilayo Ransom Kuti,” and she’s been a delight, heralding prints in a simple light. For her Channels TV appearance, she wore a halter neck dress by Ruktem Couture that merged varying prints. A well-fitting flare dress always favors solid pumps, and this get-up attests to it.
#7. Bella Okagbue
It might be raining cats and dogs in Lagos, but in Cliff Bodrum, the summer sun is out in full energy. For such an atmosphere, a sundress is a must-do, and a floral option seen on the beautiful Bella Okagbue is how to do it. Looking fresh out of a period drama, the deep neckline frock snatched her waist, and its soft pink tones brought a dose of feminine energy.
