The 2022 red carpets experienced major wins and fails regarding fashion, with multiple personalities giving their best shot at staying on theme while remaining stylish.
Stunning on the red carpet has a lot to do with understanding your body type and outfits that suit it more than most people understand. Certain personalities have proven to have an understanding of their body with some show-stopping looks we saw on the red carpet in 2022. However, not everyone dresses themselves – sometimes, the expertise of a stylist is needed.
This list contains personalities from the entertainment industry who have consistently brought their A-game to the red carpet this year.
Toke Makinwa
Extra is one thing Toke Makinwa is always going to be, and this reflects in her styling and fashion choices. The media personality, who employs the expertise of celebrity stylist and costume designer Damola Adeyemi, hit red-carpet looks this year, with her Gert-Johan Coetzee dress for the Bridgerton African premiere. She also stunned in her Matopedia Atelier dress for the Real Housewives of Lagos premiere and her Xtrabrides Lagos look for the premiere of Glamour Girls.
Osas Ighodaro
Osas always exudes class. It’s in the way she carries herself, her poses, the fitting of her dresses, and her physique in general. The actress in 2022 broke the internet multiple times because of her style. One of her outfits that broke the internet was the Veekee James dress she wore for the 2022 Africa Movies Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA), where she won the award for Best Dressed (female) and Best Actress In A Drama.
Sharon Ooja
One synergy that would never fail is Sharon’s styling bond with her longtime stylist Damola Adeyemi. The actress who leans towards foxy styles has managed to never fail on the red carpet. She particularly slayed in a lingerie dress by Idiol Nupo for the premiere of Glamour Girls, a film where she plays the lead. She also made fashion statements at the premiere of Anikulapo, Wakanda Forever West African Premiere, and Flawsome.
Bimbo Ademoye
Bimbo Ademoye’s snatched waist is not the only thing that makes her the perfect muse for designers. It’s how she carries the dresses she wears. From the 2022 AMVCA red carpet to her dress for the premiere of Anikulapo, the Kunle Afolayan film where she played the lead, the movie star has consistently brought unique and form-fitting styles to the red carpet. All her major red carpet looks this year were styled by Oluwaseun Olopade.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu
Ebuka is not your regular host. One of the aspects of Big Brother Naija people look forward to every year is what Ebuka would be wearing for the live shows. He has created a whole fan base for his outstanding range of fashion choices for his hosting duties. Outside of the BBNaija show, Ebuka always brings style to the carpet.
Denola Grey
Denola Grey is not trying to look like everyone else or trying to follow trends. He is just being expressive with his style. When he stepped onto the red carpet in a wine suit set from Atafo for the 2022 AMVCAs, we all knew who was going home with the best-dressed award. From then on, like always, his red carpet outfits were a hit back-to-back.
Enioluwa Adeoluwa
Consistency is key, and Enioluwa brings it to the carpet constantly. The content creator breaks the bounds of what it is to be masculine with his fashion choices. From shimmery and multicoloured suits to eye-catching traditional wear, Enioluwa knows how to stun on a red carpet. One of his most iconic looks of the year was his avant-garde outfit to the Ojuju Ball designed by Emmanuel Goodnews
Ayra Starr
A mixture of street style and y2k is the perfect way to describe Ayra’s style. If she is not slaying in short skirts that have made her the centre of online discussions, she is rocking low-waist jeans and making a hair statement with her consistent and masterful wearing of her signature braided hairstyles.
Kiekie
When you go through Kie Kie’s Instagram page, she seems very playful, and bubbly yet very intentional. That’s how her style is. Her dress for the 2022 AMVCAs was one show-stopper. The fashionista and content creator stunned in a teardrop dress made by Valdrin Sahiti. Consequently, she still upped her game with her dress for the Trendupp Awards, as she wore an Ankara satin dress designed by Emagine By Bukola. Not only did she slay on the carpet, but she also looked good during her maternity period.
Nancy Isime
Nancy Isime knows what suits her, and it shows every time she steps on the red carpet. The media personality and actress does not shy away from exploring daring and bold colours while managing to explore her styles as well. From the short Ankara dress designed by Stitches By Aisy for the premiere of ‘Obara’m’ to her outfit for the 2022 Royal African Young Leaders Forum – and her Valdrin Shaiti dress for the 2022 AMVCAs, there is so much range, yet so much class in each of those styles.
Omowunmi Dada
The closest we can ever get to actresses slaying in high fashion pieces is Omowunmi Dada. The actress is not afraid to try on new things, colour block, or rock unique fashion pieces. Her outfit styled by Style Territory to the screening of Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman was befitting for a met gala look, and she killed it. The dress, easily one of the best-dressed looks of the year, was designed by Somo by Somo.
Iyabo Ojo
It’s not an Iyabo Ojo outfit if it’s not bedazzled, and her stylists get it. At this point, she should be crowned the queen of the red carpet, because she brings the most dramatic and out-of-the-box looks to the red carpet. From her outfit to the King of Thieves premiere to her recent look to the premiere of Ijakumo (The Born Again Stripper), she always understands the assignment.
Ifu Ennada
This year, Ifu Ennada was not here to play. For every major event, she made a fashion statement with her unique and innovative dress styles while caring less about how it will be criticised. With the help of the self-acclaimed King of Fashion, Tiannah Styling, they dominated conversations with their creations. Particularly, her dress for the Ojuju ball was one for the books.
Tjan
All of Tjan’s red carpet-outfits have stood out for their dramatic yet artistic nature. Something only Tjan seems to be able to pull off without looking weird. In September, he went viral for his representation of Obatala for the Ojuju ball, and everyone was stunned. Subsequently, he has stood out for his daring style and dramatic use of makeup, especially with his Halloween outfit.
Mercy Aigbe
Mercy Aigbe is another actress that always understands the assignment. From her dramatic look to the Ojuju Ball to her bold red dress for the 2022 AMVCAs and recently her simple yet elegant outfit for the premiere of the Toyin Abraham film, Ijakumo, she has always stood out on the red carpet.
