This year, Nigerian female celebrities definitely upped the ante when it came to their style game. The result was an increase in the number of actresses and musicians who captured our attention with their remarkable fashion choices. From their casual looks to their red carpet style and traditional attires, the women on this list had us glued to them all year long and are without a doubt the most fashionable Nigerian women of 2019.
This year, we turn our fashion focus on Nollywood stars as we continue to shine the light on the steadily growing industry which gained even more international recognition in 2019.
While some of these ladies make a return from our 2018 Rave List, there are a number of notable additions to the 2019 list. The leading Nigerian women on this list weren’t afraid to take risks with their style picks including their hairstyles and makeup looks. Another thing they all had in common? Confidence! They owned their looks and delivered with poise. They ultimately made their mark because they were consistent in their delivery of uber-stylish garbs in 2019.
In as much as we welcome the newcomers to this list, we can’t wait to see how their looks will continue to evolve in 2020 even as we also look out to see how other celebrities will help redefine the Nigerian fashion and style culture next year.
Meet the top 10 most stylish Nigerian celebrities of 2019…
