The #BoF500 Gala, the annual event where the Business of Fashion celebrates luminaries in the fashion world was held on Saturday last weekend and many Nigerians were in attendance. 

The photographer Stephen Tayo and the founder of the streetwear community Street Souk, Iretidayo Zaccheaus, were part of the 2024 BoF500 class, its annual “list of people shaping the global fashion industry, curated by the editors of The Business of Fashion, based on nominations and on-the-ground intelligence from around the world.”

While the event was underway, Nigerians at Paris Fashion Week decided to seize the opportunity to pepper everybody, posting bestie photos with The Bear star Ayo Edebiri, and sharing clips of Wizkid as he performed live at the after-party. 

See below all the Nigerians who made the BoF500 Gala a full-blown Naija-to-the-world affair:
