Lasgidi hasn’t slowed down for a moment. Fresh off Lagos Fashion Week 2025 and heading straight into a buzzing week of events, the timelines are still overflowing with unforgettable looks. From striking appearances at the Anna-Karin Karlsson x Polo Avenue event to premieres, concerts, tours, and private launches, Lagos women have been delivering a steady stream of style moments that refuse to fade.
As the festivities shape the city’s fashion mood, one thing is clear: this season is leaning into richer textures, bolder colors, sharper tailoring, and expressive takes on culture and glamour. This roundup captures the standout looks from the past week, and the women setting the tone for a stylish Detty December.
Check out fab looks from the Anna-Karin Karlsson x Polo Avenue event and other Lagos shows…
#1. Uche Jombo
If you have to ask, “Am I the drama?” chances are, you are. Nollywood actress Uche Jombo arrived at AFRIFF in a carefully crafted Nonnistics ensemble featuring a silver breastplate-style peplum top paired with a black mermaid skirt. She completed the look with long gloves for added flair. Black and silver are a timeless pairing, but here, the intentional tailoring is what truly preached.
#2. Mimi Yina
Leafy greens may be good for the soul, but wearing them? That’s how you cook. Mimi Yina served a fresh, contemporary take at the Anna-Karin Karlsson x Polo Avenue event in a leaf-print shirt paired with black baggy pants. While modern, the print nods subtly to African aesthetics. This is your cue to think of playful ways to rock your greens, then refine the look with black accessories. Just like the designer, consider green-tinted shades, a statement bag, and embellished pumps to finish strong.

On bold days, the stylish woman’s essentials include the right textures, sharp tailoring and a power suit in your corner. Designer Mimi Yina was on to something, as she was spotted boldly clad in a sizzling red ball of fire in a red Medlin Couture leather skirt suit with a high front slit. The ensemble was dangerously sexy and there’s no milder way to put it. This holiday, don’t forget to sport a bold Gucci belt on the midriff of your power suit for a snatched effect. After all, it’s been a full year of hardwork and relaxing in good style is in order. So, slip into this rigout for your end of the year party, especially if it’s at an expensive high brow spot. Your colleagues deserve to be reminded of how much of a bad ass you are. Clock it!
#3. Zainab Balogun
This holiday season, your denim needs to work harder. Regular pairings won’t cut it. Zainab Balogun proved the point at The Boy Is Mine Tour in New York, rocking layered textures with ease. She styled an oversized check blazer over a crisp white button-down and black tie, pairing it with jorts and knee-high boots. Top it off with a cool hat, and you’ve unlocked a polished, boss-babe silhouette with edge.
#4. Fisayo Longe
A fancy ensemble will forever be for the girls who get it. This Ibilola Ogundipe creation on style influencer Fisayo Longe is femininity done right. The Nigerian designer who just showcased at Lagos Fashion Week is known for her luxurious African designs that’s loved on, even on a global scale. And this outfit is one of the testaments of this claim. The metallic wrap skirt and yellow top, adorned with two bold floral appliqués, came together like a mermaid at her peak. And true to form, Fisayo elevated the look with chunky jewelry. Dust off those jewellery boxes; the special earrings and bracelets deserve an outing. This is the season for maximalist accessorising and metallic drama. At your next wedding party, go audacious. There’s simply no other way.
#5. Angel Obasi
Angel Obasi spiralled into the Anna-Karin Karlsson x Polo Avenue event like a walking Pinterest moodboard—colorful, expressive, and impossible to ignore. She wore a striped pink peplum top with white wide-hem pants, complete with her signature structured hat and sunglasses. The asymmetric peplum, balanced by dainty straps, created a breezy yet polished silhouette. Perfect for a buzzing Lagos night, this look nails that blend of mystery and soft transparency.
#6. Hilda Baci
A dark-skinned woman knows the magic that is yellow. It sits beautifully against melanin and commands the room. Hilda Baci embraced the magic in a one-shoulder draped dress that accentuated her figure without overdoing it. For your Friday evening groove, slip into a yellow form-fitting dress, and you’ll quickly realise that the dress is enough for a full slay.

#7. Adeola Adeyemi
“Embellished or nothing” is clearly the hill Adeola Adeyemi stands on. She appeared at the Hertunba show during Lagos Fashion Week 2025 in a royal-blue maxi dress that snapped necks with no remorse. The sleek centre part, the bedazzled fabric, the exaggerated see-through sleeves, and the sweeping hem all worked together in front-row perfection. Gold embellishments added the final flourish. She stood on business, and business boomed.
#8. Teminikan
True to her brand, Nigerian designer Eccentric Nyori created an earthy, art-driven masterpiece for Teminikan. Moreover, greenery and river-path motifs flowed across the look, punctuated by statement earrings for emphasis. Beyond the storytelling, the design itself delivered with its sculpted sleeve and clean fit. Finally, a sleek top bun finished the look beautifully, keeping the spotlight on the dress.
#9. Damilola Adegbite
Igbo Amaka. The Igbo people must be proud of how isi agu has evolved from traditional chieftaincy attire to a beloved modern favourite. Damilola Adegbite’s take proved just how far the fabric can go. She stunned at the 3 Cold Dishes premiere in a design featuring a central suede panel, intricate beadwork, relaxed sleeves, and two playful bows at the hem. For your weekend outing, lean into cultural creativity without sacrificing sexiness.
