Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Davido, made an unforgettable appearance at Lagos Fashion Week 2024, donning an exquisite all-brown regalia fabric designed by the renowned Ugo Monye. The annual fashion extravaganza, which began on October 23, celebrates African style and entrepreneurship over five days, featuring a blend of runway shows, panel discussions, and opportunities for emerging African fashion talents to showcase their work on a global stage.

Davido’s majestic ensemble was a sight to behold, adorned with traditional beads and crowned with a chocolate-colored cap, while he wielded a regal staff—emulating a kingly figure. His commanding presence on the runway electrified the audience, earning him rounds of applause. The star walked the runway twice, unveiling Ugo Monye himself on his second walk to thunderous appreciation.

Though he’s globally known for his music, Davido is no stranger to fashion, having previously collaborated with sportswear giant Puma, launching two successful collections. His versatility in bridging global and African trends demonstrates the deep connection between music and fashion, particularly in amplifying African culture.

However, while his presence adds immense star power, it also brings into focus the need for more African celebrities to actively support and promote local designers. Davido’s influence is undeniable, and his participation in events like Lagos Fashion Week showcases how high-profile African personalities can elevate the industry on a global scale. Yet, more involvement from other African celebrities could significantly boost the continent’s growing fashion scene, helping to create jobs, fuel creative innovation, and generate global awareness about African designs.

Africa is brimming with incredible fashion talent, as evidenced by events like Lagos Fashion Week and Accra Fashion Week, but it requires more celebrity backing. Local stars need to wear, promote, and collaborate with African designers more frequently to help solidify Africa’s position in the global fashion economy. The future of the African fashion industry relies not only on designers but also on those in the limelight to bring attention to these homegrown talents.

By embracing and showcasing African fashion, celebrities can inspire the next generation of fashion entrepreneurs and drive the continent’s fashion industry to even greater heights. Davido has set an impressive example, and now it’s time for others to follow suit.
