‘Sabi girl no dey carry last’ and Ayra Starr is proving just that as she kicks off her electric run with British rock giants Coldplay, debuting a bold new look that’s got fans and fashion critics buzzing.
The Nigerian Afropop sensation lit up the stage in a white asymmetrical top, a metallic-detailed miniskirt, fishnet tights, and black knee-high boots, exuding futuristic glam and fearless confidence. Performing alongside Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Ayra Starr looked every inch the global superstar, matching the band’s cosmic energy with Naija flair.
“It’s a sabi summerrr and back on stageee with the best Band in the worlddd Cold Play,” she wrote on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes photos and full glam shots from the concert venue. One striking image shows her strutting backstage in full performance gear against a rugged scaffold backdrop—owning the scene with signature grace. Another captures her in a black tank and cowboy hat, radiating confidence with a gold choker shimmering at her neckline.
Ayra’s dancers, dressed in star-themed monochrome fits, added flavor and choreography that mirrored her sharp stage presence. Whether hyping the crowd or striking poses off-stage, she held her ground with the poise of a seasoned world tour act.
Fresh from thrilling fans at SummerJam in Saint Kitts and the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the “Rush” hitmaker continues to make waves on the world stage. With her blend of Afrobeat energy and genre-defying sound, Ayra Starr continues exporting the future of African music to the world.
The Coldplay 2025 tour marks a major milestone in her career, positioning her among the few African artists to share the stage with the globally revered band.
