Heineken Lagos Fahion Week 2022 | OLOOH

Emerging directly from a vintage movie set, South African artist Tyla arrived at the 2025 Met Gala like a reimagined Hollywood starlet. In a snowy white off-shoulder Jacquemus mini dress with navy pinstripes and a floor cape, she stood with elegance that combined 1930s sophistication with present pop sensibility.

In a gracious surprise that thrilled fashionistas and politicos everywhere, former Vice President Kamala Harris made her Met Gala debut in 2025, featuring a custom-made Off-White gown created by Sierra Leone-born designer Ib Kamara.

Prudent Gabriel Designs is an eclectic Lagosian fashion brand founded by Prudent Gabriel. With a sense of play and a desire to empower women, the brand combines with traditional African textiles to design everything from day-to-evening chic to occasion wear glamour.

The 2025 Met Gala theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” honored the tradition of refined Black elegance—often called Black dandyism—and invited guests to reinterpret it on the world’s biggest fashion stage. Fashion critics hailed the evening as a triumph of sartorial excellence, crediting African designers with setting the tone .
