Paris Fashion Week has always been synonymous with grandeur, creativity, and unapologetic flair. This year’s 2025 Men’s Fall/Winter edition, running from January 19th to January 24th, is no different – or so it seems. While the pomp and pizzazz are very much alive, there’s an intriguing shift in the air. Designers appear to be embracing a more grounded approach, offering creations that lean toward wearability – a sharp departure from the exaggerated theatrics we’re used to – without sacrificing the elegance that Paris is known for. Or maybe I’m speaking too soon.
Only time will tell what the rest of the week holds (but it sure seems promising).
Of course, the runway wasn’t the only place serving looks. Nigerian music stars made notable appearances, each bringing their unique style to the forefront. Several of our Naija faves were spotted representing us on the scene, including Davido, Rema, and Omah Lay. Now, I’m sure the mirror, mirror on the wall can tell you who’s the most dashing of them all, but let’s all agree that Omah Lay’s styling has sparked quite the conversation.
If there’s ever a perfect place to flirt with the edge of imagination and embrace the risqué, Paris Fashion Week is the stage, and Omah Lay is clearly here for it.
Omah Lay seems to be going for a bold blend of vintage/classic looks and modern accessorization. He’s effortlessly pulling off a red-and-white patterned suit that screams retro sophistication while keeping things fresh with a twist. His wet-and-set hairdo is giving pure 80s disco night-out vibes, oozing confidence and flair. And let’s talk about that pretty little white designer handbag – a delicate yet bold choice – and the single silver dangling earring that ties the entire ensemble together with a wink of playful elegance. Whether you love it or not, Omah Lay’s look is the ultimate conversation starter, and we’re here for every bit of it.
Paris Fashion Week has only just begun, so who knows what other surprises await us? With such a promising start, it’s safe to say the rest of the week will be nothing short of spectacular. For now, sha, well right now, Naija is representing loud and clear. What do you think of their style choices? Join the gist on our social media pages and share your hot takes!
