Lagos is at a steady high, and the city is slowing down for no one. Everywhere you look, a new wave of looks from celebrities, creatives and fashion insiders sweeps through the streets as if they were part of a rotating runway. In the past few weeks alone, the fashion crowd has been spoiled for choice: Lanre Da Silva’s dazzling 20th anniversary party, Banke Kuku’s earthy Savannah SS26 show and a series of block parties where guests dressed from every angle for what could be a potential magazine cover.

Because so many events overlap, Lagos has been transformed into a living mood board. People are experimenting more boldly, leaning into color, texture, art-inspired details and silhouettes that feel unmistakably ‘Lagos right now’. It’s playful. It’s intentional. It’s wonderfully unpredictable. In other words: just the way the stars do.

The last time I made a mosaic was in high school art class, and it looked nothing like this masterpiece. In the meantime,Zainab Balogunwore a red beaded mosaic dress from LDS, proving once again that red never repeats the same story twice.

She completed the look with sheer tights, pointed heels, a compact clutch and a chic pixie cut. Perfection.
