The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of looks on Nigerian style stars that varied from carefree and fun and to elevated and classy. The stars scurried about in trendy ensembles with a certain flair that even the simplest of looks had a certain je ne sais quo about them. The sequins and shimmers were also a class act, with other embellishments tagging along for a hot sartorial ride.
As the stars “secured the bag,” they dressed in befitting outfits worthy of the occasion. The result was a slew of sharp Nigerian fashion looks that rode on individuality and leveraged long-standing fads. However, the colors were simplistic, but the silhouettes dripped in finesse—a balanced fit for a regal reference.
