One thing we love about street style in Nigeria is you get to see just how creative individuals can be. And don’t even get us started on the red carpet fashion.
From pairing sneakers with glam dresses and rocking afrocentric looks, to stepping out in some of the latest threads and looking very haute, the fashion crowd came dressed to impress for Day 1 of this year’s Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week.
Before we go into all the fab of Day 2, let’s take a leisurely stroll through day 1 and check out all the street style & red carpet looks! Who know’s you just might get some inspiration.
Enjoy!

Some clothes no be here at all. No need to mention names, don’t wanna hurt nobadi. :d
More like LEW – Lagos Egungun Week.
I’m cryingggggg
So many “Eboras” in one location…And, yes, the photographer is diabolical!
Mixture of good, goofy, geeky and all sorts…
WHAT an EVIL PHOTOGRAPHER!! Cheiiii look what they did to Di’JA!!!
DiJa should be on the runway not the red carpet…
Tonye love you shouldn’t be exposing those drumsticks.
Her shoes are definitely on point(red carpet). Anyone know the designer? A link for where I could get it would be great
I love all the eclectic looks , the modern looks, the minimalist looks and everything in between. For the first time ever, i am so jealous that i do not have tickets to a fashion event in Nigeria.
Tonye Cole or Garick??? Tonye is really pretty but I don’t know if she is small or plus size? She looks different in size in pictures
Not sure how that removes from her prettiness
It does not. Was just confused by some of Bella Naijas pictures. Even with her short gair,she’s this pretty.
Odikwa ehn…
Di’Ja – means “rumour has it” was wrong. She doesn’t look it. Or, still early stages.
hahaaaaaahahaha …. its still early stage
Early stages of what??? Please feel me in.
Ono was really hawt looking in first picture
Winter jacket in Nigeria is a big no no
When you thought Ezinne can no longer fall hand, she shocks you
Lots of terrible looks as well as lots of good looks
Genevieve is a slayer, men in extra short shorts whats up
I’ve always said it. Bellanaija pls invest in good photographers. People look better when they are on other mediums why? Your site should show the best of people not their worst.
Interesting times are here again #FashionForwardTin
Very disappointing. Nigerian fashion industry professionals you can do better than this. Come on now sigh
YES,
almost what I thought, I used to think she’s smaller, from her music video…
Is Tonye pregnant?
i’m jealous of Papa’s boys – Demilade and the other guy in the paired long robes. I want one of those or two if the price is right 🙂
gender-bending good day, in which the hottest legs belong to a boy 🙂
People be looking like hullabaloo in the name of fashion. Bruno, get in here o…we need your brutal honesty
Love it!! I almost thought this was the streets of New York City, nice blend of everything. Spotted some ‘how you doings’ *wink *wink
Halloween obviously came early this year… What a MESS!
Total mess
I always look forward to this red carpet.
Some these people particularly the men need deliverance. I guess any attention is better than no attention.
Last time I was in naija, it was still in the tropics, calling out all the sweater folks, do you all have malaria?
@ jojo the thing tire me, ‘sweater’ in October in Nigeria? Its autumn where I live and I’m not wearing jumpers! Some people sha.
A lot of men in the fashion industry are gay
True
You are a mean geh! Choi!
My gaydar sees many gay men in the streets of Lagos.
I am wondering if it is this same lagos with at least 29 degrees weather that people are wearing sweater? marvelous really. it is sooooo hot and i don’t get how people can dress like this.
A lot of people dressed like ragamufins!
Sharon round frames= no no for round faces. Taje you reminded me of cullotes and print pizzaz and Abuloma Road back in the 90’s. Tell Michele Prest someone on Bella said that. He’d never guess who. In general I am digging the print ensembles.
Hideous.
What do I know abt fashion sef??? Definitely not much but I think Denola is too formal and that hair colour on Ezinne ages her badly. It adds like 10yrs to her. As for Ozzy, I beg you to invest more time in drama lessons/acting classes. Phonetics not enough, your acting falls flat most times, your expressions off and not convincing etc.
I bet that boy licking N10 sweet wanted to be photographed liked that. #Msheww…
he is showing the guys what he can do with his mouth nah
Abeg everybody fine jor! I liked the way everyone is dressing to suit there personality. If I had the chance I would wear something crazier after all its fashion week anything wearable is fashionable. I’ve seen worse but not from the beautiful people I see here!
Ghanaians watch and learn. I wasted my time to fly to ghana and attend their boring ghana fashion design week with their rude organiser Darryl. Kmt no wonder ghanas top designers have boycotted their show. Lfdw2015 fab vibe with talented designers all the way
