Fashion Tigress Fierce: Toke Makinwa, Miwa Balqees and Kim Oprah Spotted in this ₦650,000 Orire Dress

· By Fashion Tigress Team


One dress, 2 colours,3 celebrities.  Nigerian girlies have a thing for the Laila dress from Nigerian designer Orire.

The Laila dress is a perfect example of how to balance volume—a full A-line gown framed by an equally voluminous top and billowing sleeves. 
To prevent the dense volume from overwhelming the frame, the design featured a strategic waist cutout that exposes just a glimpse of skin. Anchored by a tightly cinched waistline, it sculpts a sharp hourglass silhouette amidst the fluid movement of the skirt.
 

All 3 ladies wore the dress differently.Toke Makinwa wore the Orire Lira dress in midi to the opening of EbonyLife place in London, while Miwa Balqees wore the maxi version to the opening of her new store, and Kim Oprah wore hers in pink while on vacation recently..

 The Laila dress is versatile, conservative, but still chic. By keeping the waist sculpted while letting the surrounding fabric flow, Orire's Laila creates a canvas that feels equally appropriate for a high-profile London launch, a store opening, and a luxury getaway.
