If you don’t know the first name, you probably know the surname.
Daughter to billionaire magnate, Femi Odetola, sister to Dj Cuppy and ubersnazzy fashion blogger in her own right, Temi Odetola has in three short years become one of Nigeria’s biggest fashion personalities, thanks in part to big sis’s extensive ankara wardrobe and her innate fashion sense. She has scored features in British Vogue, Style Vitae and has been chosen as one of the ambassadors for the 2015 Lagos Fashion and Design Week alongside Denola Grey and Noble Igwe.
Temi is a fashion slayer through and through, no matter what she wears. To prove it, we’ve raided her instagram to find our top 7 weave snatching looks from her.
ANKARA CHIC
Not everyone can wear a boxy ankara jacket like Temi does. Paired with polka dot platforms, a fresh face and hair pulled back, she lets the blouson jacket’s prints work it’s magic. We know not all of us are that adventurous so try this look with tights and a blocky heel.

JUST A BABY GIRL
Does anyone do ‘babygirlism’ as good as Temi in this all suede ensemble? Like is there anyone you know (apart from Temi of course) who can wear this much suede without looking like furniture? Show me, I’ll wait.
MIXED PRINTS
Temi mixes prints like a veteran with this Gucci jacket and Celine skirt. The fur is mink and that Celine skirt speaks volumes, as does Temi’s dress sense. All you lessors, the line’s in the back.

FAUX HAWK-IN
I’m definitely going to try this one at least once in my life. And if I don’t look this good, I’m going to sue for false advertisment cos damn!
SLAYING IN GRANDMA’S HAT
She owned the hell out of that ugly hat! Like damn, you have to respect that she made it quirky instead of a fashion fail. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone else cos obvs, you’re NOT Temi.
OWNING THE HELL OUT OF THAT POLYTECHNIC POSE
We all know this pose, right out the polytechnic girl’s handbook, but in Temi’s hands (and a healthy helping of some Rag and Bone and Alexander Wang) she actually makes it high fashion. Warning, do not try this at home, for obvious reasons.
YOU GOTTA RESPECT A WOMAN WHO WEARS WHITE IN A KEKE
Until we see you come out of a keke with your hair still laid and your dress pristine, I shall require you to defer to the queen of the high fashion keke photo.
Bow down y’all! Bow down.
