Oh to be rich and famous!
There’s plenty of reasons why the species called celebrities hold
such fascination to us lesser mortals. For starters they make more money
than they usually know what to do with, ontop of that they get dozens
of perks on account of the fact that they wield such influence, then of
course there’s the gadgets and cars they never fail to brandish and
finally there’s the fabulous wardrobes that often leave us green with
lust.
There’s certainly more than enough reasons why celebrities anywhere
in the world hold such great amount of appeal and today we beam our
lights on the Nigerian celebrities who never fail to leave us bedazzled
with their fabulous outfits whenever they step out. From the top of
their well-groomed hair to their carefully pedicured feet, these
celebrities never turn out without their best foot forward and that’s
exactly why we’d give a sizeable chunk of gold to raid their closets.
Walk with us!
1.
Genevieve Nnaji: The boss lady of Nollywood
certainly walks the walk. Whether she’s at a red carpet event or just
out and about in town, Miss Nnaji always looks picture perfect in her
trademark effortlessly chic style. The stylish diva stole the show at
the launch of the Ebony Life TV when she donned a blue lacy Deola Sagoe
dress. Earlier in the year, she also had tongues wagging with her
plunging neckline Bridget Awosika dress which she wore for the African
Magic Movie Awards (AMVCA). With her St. Genevieve clothing label under
her belt, there’s never a dull style moment with her.

Rita Dominic: Its no coincidence that Rita always
winds up on several best dressed lists in the country and in 2012, she
beat fellow Nollywood leading ladies Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde emerging as the Best Dressed Actress at the FAB Awards.
Rita reigns supreme in the style department because of her edgy,
eclectic fashion style as well as her ability to always switch things up
and offer a fresh take on trends, this is what puts Rita ahead of her
peers in the style department and also lands her wardrobe on our to-raid
list.
3.
Tiwa Savage: If you’ve seen any of Tiwa’s music videos then you’d probably agree that her closet will be
a treasure chest of the sexiest outfits ever.
Like
a breath of fresh air, Tiwa arrived the Nigerian music scene in 2009
with her tiny shorts, sexy moves and sweet voice. We’d never had any
Nigerian female artiste who was so unapologetically sexy and music
lovers promptly paid attention. A few years down the line, Tiwa has
quickly shot to the top of the Nigerian music scene and much like her
music, Tiwa’s fashion style is very eclectic as she’s never afraid to
try something a little different and far-fetched like her iro and buba
attire to the 2012 ELOY awards. While Tiwa may have had a few misses on
the red carpet, her fashion style has evolved greatly and remains a hot
favourite for her sexy, yet relatable demeanor.

Yvonne Nelson: While we acknowledge that Yvonne
is actually Ghanaian, the vivacious actress is by her own admission a
de-facto Lagosian as she probably spends more time in Lagos than some
actual Lagosians. Yvonne burst into our consciousness with her bad girl
roles in Nollywood movies and yes, her impressive costumes! Yvonne’s
style is a fine blend of haute couture and high street fashion and as
the face of Zaron Hair & Make-up, the style stakes just got higher
for the already stylish diva. As a self-proclaimed beach lover and with
the hot bikini pictures she shares often, we reckon we’d find more than a
few hot bikinis and stylish peplum dresses like the white peplum she
wore at the recently held 2013, City People Awards.
5.
Dolapo Oni: For former Studio 53 extra gal,
Dolaop Oni there are only two words – fashionable and classy. The
stylish presenter/actress is known for her flawless diction and
presenting as well as her chic fashion style both on-screen and
off-screen. In the three short years that she’s been on the
entertainment scene, she has quickly established herself as a style star
and with the classy and trendy pieces the diminutive presenter always
spots, we have no doubt that her closet would be a fashion lover’s
delight.
6.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu: The former
Big Brother Nigeria housemate turned Lawyer/TV host is nothing short of
dapper when he appears on the red carpet. From his playful mix of ankara
to his form-fitting suits, Ebuka never passes up a chance to make a
statement with his fashion style.
7.
Lynxx: Whether he’s donning a native attire, a
2-piece suit or good ol’ jeans and t-shirt, Lynxx always looks like he
just stepped out of the pages of a magazine. Standing at over 6 feet
tall and with a seriously impressive body, Lynxx looks fit to be a
runway model and dresses the part always.
8.
Uti Nwachukwu: Going by his
fashion style and accessories, it is safe to say that Uti’s closet most
probably looks like something out of a GQ magazine shoot. With his bold
use of colours and fashion-forward sense, practically every image of Uti
looks like he just stepped off the runway.
