The Fashion Girl’s Reading List: Books That Shape Style, Identity & Taste
Fashion doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The way you dress, what you gravitate towards, even what you consider “good taste,” is often shaped by what you consume, and that includes books. While trends move fast, style is built slowly. It’s informed by culture, perspective, and a deeper understanding of identity. And sometimes, the most stylish […]
Dressed With Intention: Inside the Nigerian Man’s Style Revolution
There was a time when fashion conversations in Nigeria were largely centered around women. Men were expected to dress neatly, look presentable, and move on. Style, for many, stopped at matching shoes to belts and owning a few well-tailored native outfits for weddings and special occasions. That version of masculinity is quietly evolving. Style Is […]

Met Gala 2026: Cultural References We Spotted on the Carpet
Long after the final flashbulb fades at the Met Gala, what lingers isn’t just the spectacle, it’s the work. The unseen hours, the layered references, the quiet (and not-so-quiet) obsessions that shape a single look.

Fashion Is Art, But Who Understood the Assignment?
At the Met Gala, every theme invites interpretation, but not every interpretation lands. This year’s “Costume Art” brief called for more than visual appeal.

The most successful looks recognised this immediately, treating the red carpet not […]
The Power Tables: Which Fashion Houses Dominated the Met Gala 2026
At the Met Gala, dominance is rarely accidental. Beyond the spectacle of individual looks lies a more strategic narrative, one shaped by the fashion houses that dress multiple attendees, often the evening’s most visible A-listers define the visual mood of the night, and ultimately steer the cultural conversation. Under this year’s “Costume Art” theme and […]
Best Dressed at the Met Gala 2026: The Looks That Defined the Night

The New Rules of Wearing Skinny Jeans
For a while, skinny jeans became fashion’s easiest target. Too tight, too dated, too “millennial.” The narrative was clear: wide-leg was in, skinny was out, but fashion rarely works in absolutes. Skinny jeans didn’t disappear; they just lost their styling direction. And now, quietly, they’re finding their way back into wardrobes, not as a trend […]
Meghan Markle’s Australian Wardrobe Was a Masterclass in Modern Royal Dressing
Swapping Montecito’s ease for Melbourne’s spotlight, Meghan Markle touched down in Australia alongside Prince Harry, eight years after their first royal tour as newlyweds. Much has changed since then. The titles are lighter, the structure looser, but the scrutiny has remained very much intact. If anything, this return carried a different kind of curiosity. No […]
