If patriotism had a dress code, DJ Cuppy would’ve written it in pink ink and signed it with glitter.

When it comes to flying the Nigerian fashion flag, Florence Otedola doesn’t just talk about supporting local designers — she’s basically the billboard. Whether she’s on a red carpet, spinning tracks, or posting an off-duty fit check, Cuppy wears Nigerian fashion with the kind of pride that feels both intentional and infectious.

Her wardrobe is a walking masterclass in balance: bold yet polished, luxury yet local. Think structured aso-oke meets statement accessories, Ankara reimagined with high-fashion energy, and color palettes so unapologetically bright they could power an entire runway show.

But it’s not just about the clothes — it’s about the message. Cuppy’s “Wear Nigerian” mantra isn’t performative; it’s her way of reframing what homegrown style looks like on a global stage. She’s proof that Nigerian fashion doesn’t need validation from anywhere else — it is the validation.

So yes, while most celebs are still deciding between Paris or Milan, Cuppy’s out here reminding us that Lagos has always been its own fashion capital. And these latest looks? They’re Exhibit A.
