When it comes to statement fashion, Xtrabrideslagos is always ahead of the game. The brand has consistently delivered stunning pieces that leave their star-studded clientele looking like the icons that they are. And in October 2024, they did it again—this time for Afrobeats superstar, Davido.
Marking his partnership with Martell, Davido needed a look that was nothing short of legendary. XBL stepped up to the challenge and created the Custom Crystal XBL Jacket Set—a dazzling ensemble that looked like pure magic.
The campaign shot was a moment. Davido stood against the lights, his figure frozen in what were actual shimmering crystals. The way the jacket caught the light, reflecting every angle with precision, was an absolute masterpiece.
This wasn’t XBL’s first time dressing Davido. In fact, this marks the fourth consecutive ensemble the brand has created for him. But this one? This was one for the books!
A look this powerful needed the perfect touch, and Yasmeen Ntwari, a master at curating unforgettable fashion moments, delivered just that. She knew this wasn’t just about dressing Davido—it was about creating a vision. The styling was sharp, effortless, and deliberate. Every detail, from the way the jacket fit to the neckpiece made with Martell’s logo, reflected the consideration that went into that moment. Davido didn’t just wear the look; he embodied it.
Xtrabrideslagos is creating a brand that is more than just the clothes. Their pieces are made to command attention, spark conversations, and leave lasting impressions. Whether it’s a dramatic wedding gown or a bold red-carpet ensemble, XBL has proven time and time again that they understand the art of creating show-stopping moments in fashion.
Dressing celebrities isn’t new for this brand. But this crystal jacket? This was different. This piece cemented its place as a brand that understands spectacle, a brand that doesn’t just follow trends but creates them.
Some brands create beautiful pieces. Others create moments that go down in fashion history. Xtrabrideslagos does both. With each custom creation, they prove that their designs aren’t just about fabric and embellishments. They’re about legacy, craftsmanship, and pushing boundaries. They know how to make sure their pieces aren’t just worn but remembered. And if this crystal jacket is anything to go by, we can safely say that there is still more in store for their audience.
