Lagos has been on a steady style high, and the city isn’t slowing down for anyone. Everywhere you turn, a fresh wave of looks from celebrities, creatives, and fashion insiders sweeps through the streets as if they’re part of a rotating runway. In the past few weeks alone, the fashion crowd has been spoiled for choice: Lanre Da Silva’s dazzling 20th anniversary celebration, Banke Kuku’s earthy Savannah SS26 show, and a lineup of block parties where guests dressed like every angle was a potential magazine cover.
With so many events overlapping, Lagos has transformed into a living moodboard. People are experimenting more boldly—leaning into color, texture, art-inspired details, and silhouettes that feel unmistakably “Lagos right now.” It’s playful. It’s intentional. It’s delightfully unpredictable. In other words: exactly how the stars do.
Here are the standout looks captured at Lanre Da Silva’s 20th anniversary and other Lagos events…
#1. Toke Makinwa
On-theme in her signature Toke Makinwa way, the gorgeous new mom arrived at the Banke Kuku Savannah SS26 show looking all shades of “peng.” She paired a sheer zebra-print blouse with a midi skirt featuring a flamingo motif. The cinched waist and full skirt channeled classic diva, while chunky earrings, a structured clutch, and white open-toe heels amplified the printastic drama. And that pixie cut? A moment.
#2. Laura Ikeji
Bold perfection has a color: red. Enter Laura Ikeji, who leaned fully into her audacious side in a red Julyet Peters powersuit for Lanre Da Silva’s 20th anniversary show. She didn’t stop there—red sunshades, red woven bag, red pumps. Head-to-toe commitment. With the holiday season approaching, this is one way to stay festive while keeping your edge sharp.
#3. Elizabeth Elohor
At this point, loud color combos are a true Lasgidi signature. Because orange and green can work without drifting into Christmas territory, we say: Yes, please. Elizabeth Elohor stunned at the Banke Kuku show in a fitted orange dress by the designer, paired with a green embossed bag. The look was simple yet undeniably chic—perfect inspiration for dinner with the girls this season.
#4. Vanessa Azar
Clock it: yellow is officially the Black woman’s color of the year. Whether worn head-to-toe or sprinkled into accessories, the shade is thriving. Beautypreneur Vanessa Azar embraced the mood in a yellow tulle skirt and white cropped top at Lanre Da Silva’s 20th anniversary event. With Lagos heat rising, sheer pieces are naturally sliding back into mainstream rotation. Try a flirty sheer moment for your evening meet-ups this week.
