At the recent Lagos Fashion Week , Nigerian superstar Davido made an electrifying appearance dressed head-to-toe in a sleek traditional outfit by his friend and designer, Ugo Monye. Known for his eye-catching designs, Monye also walked the runway, debuting a new collection that caught everyone’s attention.
Davido’s ensemble, a rich brown piece topped off with a stylish walking stick, showcased the cultural elegance Monye is known for, and brought Davido back to the runway for the second time, following his debut at the 2022 New York Fashion Week for Puma.
This show marked a continuation of the artist’s strong friendship with Monye, who designed Davido’s looks for his traditional wedding earlier in June 2024. Fans quickly took to social media, praising Davido’s loyalty and versatility. One fan wrote, “Davido is the kind of friend everyone wishes for in his circle, always coming through for his homies.”
