Nigerian celebrity fashion designer Toyin Lawani has sparked a conversation about changing beauty trends after observing what she described as increasingly similar facial features among some women in Lagos.
In a video shared online, Lawani questioned the growing popularity of facial enhancements and cosmetic procedures, particularly among women she referred to as “Lagos baddies.” She pointed to features such as elongated jawlines and fuller lips as examples of the similarities she has noticed.
“There is something going on in Lagos. Everybody is starting to look alike,” Lawani said, while describing how she could see someone one day and notice a noticeably different facial appearance later.
She went on to ask where some of the women were getting their new facial features, jokingly saying, “Where una dey collect the face?”
Lawani specifically mentioned long jaws and plump lips, suggesting that the increasing popularity of particular beauty aesthetics may be contributing to a more uniform appearance among some women in the city.
Her comments have generated reactions online, with social media users debating the influence of cosmetic procedures, makeup techniques, filters and changing beauty standards on the way people present themselves.
The discussion also highlights the growing popularity of aesthetic treatments and beauty trends in Lagos, where social media has helped accelerate the spread of particular looks and styles.
While cosmetic enhancements remain a personal choice, Lawani's observation has prompted a wider conversation about individuality and whether rapidly changing beauty standards are encouraging people to pursue similar facial features.
The fashion designer is known for her outspoken personality and distinctive approach to fashion, and her latest comments have once again placed her at the centre of an online conversation about appearance and lifestyle trends.
