Sanwo-Olu at Lagos Fashion Week

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, surprised guests at the 2026 Lagos Fashion Week after making an unexpected appearance on the runway alongside professional models.

The governor joined the catwalk in an outfit designed by Nigerian fashion designer Ugo Monye, attracting applause from the audience.

Sanwo-Olu wore a regal off-white ensemble that combined elements of a traditional caftan with a kimono-inspired cut. He completed the look with a beige fedora.

As he walked across the runway, the governor acknowledged spectators with nods and flashed peace signs, drawing reactions from the crowd.

The 2026 Lagos Fashion Week, which began last Wednesday at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, is scheduled to conclude on Sunday.

The event, themed “CRAFTED: Heritage,” brings together fashion designers, models, industry professionals and enthusiasts to showcase African creativity, craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
