Check out how Lagos celebrities delivered New Year fashion with pomp…
#1. Toke Makinwa
Toke Makinwa gave us a masterclass in sleek sophistication with a look that exuded baddie energy from every angle. The tailored black mini dress she rocked wasn’t just a piece of clothing—it was a statement. Adorned with a subtle white pattern, the dress let simplicity do the talking, and boy, did it speak volumes. With its beaded neckline and keyhole detail, it effortlessly balanced playful charm with refined elegance.
The fitted silhouette and snatched waist were nothing short of flawless, while the sleek white pointed-toe heels added a sharp contrast, elevating the look to perfection. Toke proved that true style isn’t about over-the-top frills; it’s about owning your presence. This outfit wasn’t just chic—it was pure “Main Character Energy” in action.
#2. Idia Aisien
Idia Aisien effortlessly reminded us why she’s the silent slayer of Lagos fashion. As 2024 came to a close, she turned heads with an Instagram post that had everyone talking. Donning a sky-blue, tube, body-hugging gown by Lady Biba, Idia embodied grace and glamour. But what truly set the look apart was the jaw-dropping pink floral detail that added a touch of playful elegance.
She paired the gown with pink Mach & Mach double bow mules, a Tiffany blue Chanel bag, and pink earrings that screamed ‘soft life but make it blingy.’ Idia wasn’t here to just turn heads—she came to serve up showstopping fashion, proving once again that she is a force to be reckoned with in the Lagos style scene.
#3. Mimi Yina
Mimi Yina, aka “Medlin Boss,” kicked off 2025 with nothing short of fabulousness. She graced Instagram in a black shimmering gown that had all the right drama—shoulder accents sharp enough to cut glass, intricate beaded designs that caught the light just right, and a lacey train that flowed effortlessly behind her. The pièce de résistance? A bold open-front slit that oozed confidence and power. But what really elevated the look were her accessories: a green bag and pink heels, because Mimi knows how to mix things up with flair. If Medlin’s fashion game is anything to go by, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of sparkle, drama, and unmatched style.
#4. Liquorose
Big Brother Naija’s Liquorose closed out the year dripping in finesse at the premiere of Everybody Loves Jennifer, where her look was nothing short of iconic. She rocked a black, crystal-encrusted, bodycon mini dress with puffed shoulders by Okoro Dozie, exuding both elegance and edge. Silver accessories, bold earrings, and jeweled heels tied everything together, completing a slay that had us all in awe. Let’s be honest—nobody can handle a power shoulder quite like Liquorose, proving once again that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the Lagos fashion game.
#5. Mercy Aigbe Adeoti
Mercy Aigbe rang in the new year like royalty, turning heads on her birthday in a custom Medlin Boss number that had us all gasping for air. The nude corset-style dress, adorned with sparkling crystals, looked like it belonged in a museum. With a jeweled shawl, matching heels, and silver-toned accessories, Mercy effortlessly embodied “queen behavior only.”
If this is how Lagos celebrities are starting 2025, then we’re ready for all the glam, glitz, and game-changing looks. To everyone else, consider this your official warning—fashion season in Lagos never sleeps!
