As they say, to whom much is given, much is expected. Nigerian celebrities have showcased ah-mazing sense of style this year.
When it comes to red carpets, weddings, casual events and more, they have proven to be on top of their fashion game and that is why we bring you the ten celebs that rocked the fashion world in 2014.
Toke Makinwa-Ayida: This year has been all around awesome for media personality Toke Makinwa. From her surprise marriage to her endorsement with Maggi, breaking into the TV world to her successful vlog series – it’s been simply wonderful. And one more thing; she never fails to impress at events – always looking flawless and the best part is, she has pretty much turned her Instagram page to an ad space for fashion entrepreneurs… not to mention how she elegantly rocked five awesome dresses at the Headies awards which held a few weeks ago.
