Fashion is more than what we wear—it’s a creative art form, merging color, texture, and vision into unforgettable moments. This week, TCL’s celebrity picks spotlight the personalities who transformed fabrics into statements, dazzling us on and off the red carpet. Here’s an in-depth look at TCL’s top five standout celebrity ensembles that defined the week in African fashion and style.
Reality star Topher brought a fresh vision to formalwear with his burgundy suit that was anything but conventional. The blazer stole the show with a striking gradient embellishment: white rhinestones clustered along the shoulders, melting seamlessly into a clean fabric below. This sparkled effect evoked a celestial sky at dusk. Topher paired the look with a crisp white shirt and matching tie, masterfully balancing sophistication and avant-garde style. You can see more from Topher’s look on his own Instagram, where he shares exclusive fashion moments.
This trend—investing in suits with unexpected textures and embellishments—has found favor among global style icons seen at recent high-profile events, such as the Tony Awards, where celebrities like Cynthia Erivo wowed in embellished and structured attire.
Victoria Onywere made a grand entrance with her nude illusion gown completely encrusted in silver sequins and intricate beadwork. A plunging neckline with delicate details and sheer panels gave the look a modern allure, but the drama was undeniably in the off-shoulder tulle sleeves, which cascaded to the floor with effortless grace. The ensemble was a testament to red carpet glamour—balancing daring with elegance.
This high-octane glamour threads seamlessly into global trends, with celebrities like Ana De Armas and Amal Clooney donning heavily embellished gowns recently on the international stage, showing that all-out shimmer and volume remain must-haves for 2025.
Channeling fairytale royalty, Omeche Oko appeared in a breathtaking ball gown featuring a sheer, fitted bodice with vertical beaded accents and a dramatic, plunging neckline. The skirt was luxurious and full, fanning out for a regal silhouette. With her hair styled in an elegant updo and a statement necklace, Omeche truly embodied modern elegance—a nod to both classic and contemporary aesthetics.
This silhouette parallels key moments on recent global red carpets, where stars like Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett have celebrated the power of dramatic gowns and statement shapes.
BBNaija’s Sooj embraced plush luxury with an oversized cream fur coat thrown over a matching pinstriped set. The monochrome palette turned minimalist, but was far from ordinary—elevated by luxe accessories like a designer watch, sleek sunglasses, and bold chain necklace. Sooj’s look was a reminder that sharp accessories and plush textures can transform simplicity into a trend-setting statement.
This clean, monochromatic approach echoes trends from the runways of Paris, where brands like Chanel debuted luxe layers and creamy hues this season at their Fall 2025 show—proving the power of texture and tone.
Former beauty queen Wanni Danbaki closed the list by celebrating heritage in a fiery, multicolored African ensemble. Her red and patterned wrapper, layered with beaded jewelry and a dramatic red shawl with gold embroidery, paid homage to culture while radiating contemporary glamour. The look was completed with a matching head wrap and a hand fan, cementing her status as a champion of traditional-meets-modern fashion.
Her embrace of bold patterns and cultural elements resonates with the global push for diversity and heritage on the world’s red carpets, as also reflected in coverage from international style media.
