Pink is clearly having its season in Nigerian fashion, and nobody got that memo faster than Hilda Baci. The Guinness World Record-breaking Nigerian chef and style favourite has joined one of the hottest traditional styling trends in African fashion right now — pairing a bùbá with a mini skirt instead of the traditional ìró wrapper.
Her mini skirt is structured candy-pink aso-oke, the same handwoven Yoruba fabric used for her gele, featuring a sharp wrap design, horizontal draping that emphasises her silhouette, and an asymmetrical hemline that gives the whole look a contemporary edge. The bùbá is a romantic, long-sleeved sheer pink lace blouse covered in floral embroidery and swirling patterns, with bell sleeves that flare at the wrists.

The gele is tied with precision, featuring sculptural folds and a stylised rose-like bloom on the side that leans more architectural than traditional. Layered red coral beads with a central gold pendant sit at the neckline, providing a striking contrast against all that pink lace — a classic accessory that grounds the look in Nigerian heritage. Dark retro oval sunglasses and small metallic earrings bring a cooler attitude to the outfit, while pointed-toe heeled mules with clear PVC sides and an embellished bow detail at the front complete the full picture.
