Fashion is expressed in different ways by different people. With a show like The Real Housewives of Lagos, which was centred on the opulent lives of six women living in Lagos, Nigeria, we needed to see fashion immersed in cultural richness. The Housewives did just that.
It was important because this sets the narrative of ‘oh! This is how women in Lagos, Nigeria dress’. Week after week, scrolling through comments on RHOLagos, one recurrent statement was how the women had style and how it brought the narrative of ‘one thing Nigerian women would do is dress!’
From Chioma Ikokwu’s classy style to Tiannah’s bold and eccentric choices, these women brought their A-game while showcasing Nigerian talents and fashion brands to the world through The Real Housewives Franchise.
In the multitude of stunning outfit choices throughout season 1 of RHOLagos, we will be picking six outfits that stood out best from each housewife.
Chioma Ikokwu
It was challenging to pick one particular outfit from Chioma’s long list of fashion moments, but this outfit deserves a shoutout. From the choice of fabric to embellishment, the accessorizing and the overall fit of the outfit, it screamed elegance.
The Housewives went to Toyin Lawani-Adebayo’s cultural-themed event dressed like Nigerian queens, but Chioma’s outfit takes the crown. The entrepreneur, dressed in an Asooke gown from Xtrabrideslagos, looked stunning.
She paired the outfit with a $1,995 Jimmy Choo Saeda Ombre Crystal Ankle-Strap Pumps and a Bon Bon Multicoloured Crystal Top-Handle bag from the brand. She finished the look with a dramatic gele tied by gele expert Adufe Gele.
Carolyna Hutchings
The cultural-themed event had one of the best fashion moments in season 1 of RHOLagos. Carolyna also looked stunning with her dress from Xtrabrideslagos. The real estate agent styled by Medlinboss paired this outfit with gold accessories and a $1,250 gold Balenciaga mini handbag.
Toyin Lawani-Adebayo
Fashion goddess, bow down! Like Toyin’s iconic tagline, she always makes bold fashion choices. The stylist who made all her outfits, looked fierce in her Transformer Piece. She wore this outfit on the boat cruise for her birthday trip with the Housewives to Dubai.
The Bohemian-themed outfit can be styled in 10 different ways; iconic, right?
Mariam Timmer
Mariam Timmer always serves melanin beauty and class with her glowing skin and fashion choices. On multiple occasions, the PR expert has rocked dresses from DNA, a Nigerian clothing brand known for its unique weave.
One of her most outstanding outfits for the season was from the DNA AW21 collection. The brown and black dress made Mariam look like the boss lady she is. She paired the dress with a Christian Louboutin Black Suede And Leather Trim Whipstitch Ostri Slingback that cost over $450.
Laura Ikeji-Kanu
Laura is the tux queen, but she went outside her usual choice of clothing for their night at the Billionaire’s Club in Dubai. The entrepreneur wore a green dress by TBally. The dress TBally describes as The Fashion Figure was unarguably the best outfit Laura wore on the show.
Iyabo Ojo
Unlike what most people expected, Iyabo Ojo shocked us and served beauty and style in every episode of The Real Housewives of Lagos. Her outfit for her daughter Priscilla Ojo’s 21st birthday was a head-turner.
The dress, designed by Toyin Lawani-Adebayo, was the perfect balance between drama and style, and we are in love with it.
