From red carpet glitz to traditional flair, Nigerian celebrities once again proved why they remain style icons both on and off the screen. Last week’s standout looks showcased a blend of cultural pride, modern sophistication, and daring glamour — a reminder that fashion, for these stars, is more than fabric; it’s a statement of identity and confidence.
Here are TCL’s top five celebrity fashion picks that captured attention and set the tone for the week:
1. Baaj Adebule — Regal in Black and Gold
Baaj Adebule channelled pure royalty in a majestic agbada ensemble that fused cultural depth with modern style. His choice of deep black and gold tones exuded quiet power, while the intricate embroidery on the inner top and agbada added a touch of artistry. With his fila (cap), black dress shoes, and traditional bracelets, the actor carried himself like an African prince — timeless, confident, and effortlessly refined.
2. Omoni Oboli — Traditional Grace in Vivid Hues
Omoni Oboli embraced colour and culture in a radiant traditional attire that celebrated African elegance. Her outfit featured a lively mix of purple, orange, and gold, beautifully tied together with detailed patterns and textures. A perfectly wrapped purple gele framed her face, while bold orange and gold jewellery — including a statement necklace — added the right amount of sparkle. The result was a regal, feminine, and effortlessly elegant look.
3. Chizzy Alichi — Burgundy Brilliance with a Modern Twist
Chizzy Alichi turned heads in a sophisticated off-shoulder burgundy gown that balanced structure with sensuality. The fitted silhouette and detailed fabric work highlighted her figure, while the patterned accents and ruffled embellishments brought drama to the outfit. Completing the look with a large matching headwrap and tasteful jewellery, Chizzy embodied a blend of contemporary style and cultural confidence.
4. Dede Ashiogwu — Crystal Perfection on the Red Carpet
Reality TV star Dede Ashiogwu dazzled in a gown that was all about glamour and precision. Her sheer, body-hugging dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and crystal detailing, shimmered beautifully under the light. The structured silhouette, long sleeves, and high neckline gave the look a touch of sophistication, while her sleek, pulled-back hairstyle allowed the craftsmanship of the gown to shine through.
5. Sophia Chisom — The Lady in Red Reinvents Glamour
Sophia Chisom’s red sequined gown was the definition of show-stopping elegance. The sweetheart neckline and sculpted bodice adorned with silver crystals created a striking balance between boldness and grace. Her silver mini purse and diamond accessories elevated the look, while her soft makeup tied everything together in refined harmony. It was glamour at its most graceful — bold, feminine, and unforgettable.
Last week’s fashion round-up proves one thing: Nigeria’s stars are not just entertainers — they are fashion ambassadors redefining elegance, one outfit at a time.
