If Lagos fashion had a billboard, this would be it—actress, producer, and entrepreneur Lilian Afegbai just broke the style internet with a breathtaking new shoot, wearing a bold piece by Nigerian fashion sensation LDM (Look Different Marque), designed by the visionary Munachimso Okolo. The message she dropped with the images? “Idia like you’ve never seen before.” And trust—she delivered.

A Closer Look at the Show-Stopping Design
The outfit? Pure Naija opulence with a futuristic twist. Lilian rocks a platinum white bob, her look sharp and commanding. The dress is an avant-garde masterpiece: a navy tulle explosion with layers of volume, adorned with cascading gold chains and chunky gold bead details across the neckline. Black leggings paired with white pointed heels create a dramatic contrast.
Accessories? Oversized gold rings and bracelets, echoing the regal energy of a true African queen. In every shot—whether she’s balancing en pointe, resting with poise, or draped in a plush fur coat—Lilian channels fearless elegance.

Close-up, her makeup is flawless (shoutout to Lagos celebrity MUA Tolu), with bold red lips and sculpted cheekbones. The wig by HairByBube frames her face in vintage Hollywood waves, while the shoot’s creative direction comes from stylist Okolo Obiechina and image consultant Swazzi. The lens? The magic of Lagos photographer Tochukwu.
Made-in-Nigeria: The New Global Standard
The real star here is the designer, Munachimso Okolo, founder of LDM. Since launching in 2021, LDM has set out to redefine African luxury—sourcing fabrics globally but crafting every piece in their Lagos fashion house. LDM’s promise: wear their clothes and you will stand out, not just in Nigeria, but anywhere the world’s watching. This shoot is a manifesto for Made-in-Nigeria excellence—bold, original, and unafraid.

Lilian: More Than a Style Icon
Lilian, fresh off her recent appointment as an Ambassador for the Global Entrepreneurship Festival (GEF), set to be held in Accra in November 2025, she’s cementing her status as a global change-maker. From her AMVCA win for “Bound” to her Big Brother Africa breakout, to launching “Lilly’s Secret” lingerie and gym wear, she’s a powerhouse who keeps breaking new ground for Nigerian women in film, business, and style.

The Bottom Line
Lilian in LDM is a celebration of Nigerian creativity at its finest—where fashion is art, and every piece tells a story of pride, confidence, and unstoppable ambition. This is what happens when local talent goes global: Lagos becomes Paris, Nigerian design becomes the new Black, and every African girl sees a mirror of her power.
Made in Nigeria. Made to rule the world.
