It’s the 42nd birthday of the ‘King of Fashion’ (KOF), Toyin Lawani aka Tiannah Empire.
If there’s one thing the fashion designer does every year, it’s delivering at least 5 (we’re saying at least 5 as in some cases, it could be more) explosive fashion designs represented by an iconic level of creativity and indelible photoshoots.
Tiannah’s 42nd birthday on March 1, 2024, is no different, as she has delivered as usual. Taking a trip down memory lane, here are our top 5 favorite birthday looks from the celebrity designer and stylist:
2020
To celebrate her 38th birthday and 20th anniversary in the fashion industry, Tiannah soaked herself in gold and bronze and we loved it. Oh, plus she served 20 different looks to celebrate two decades in the industry!
2021
The designer took creativity to another level with her choice of outfits for her 39th birthday photos. One of the dresses was inspired by children’s parties, as she adorned the dress with children’s cutleries. The second dress that caught the world’s eye was one where she incorporated plastic shopping bags. The results? Epic!!
2022
Tiannah’s outfits for her ruby jubilee had the world talking and in awe of her magical hands. Who knew dresses could be made from shoes and snails? We even got a magnificent look from the fashion icon where she looked like a chandelier!! Shine Tiannah, shine!!
2023
For her 41st birthday in 2023, Tiannah tapped into the deep wells of creativity for her outfits. A kitchen utensils-inspired outfit in shining silver, a white dress embellished with fake skulls, a red transformer outfit, and others, made up her 41st birthday photo album.
2024
After opening up about her health challenges on the ‘Real Housewives of Lagos’ reality show, Tiannah has delivered an inspiring and entertaining series of photoshoots to mark her 42nd birthday. One of her outfits is an elegant polka-dot jumpsuit with a matching mask.
However, one of her looks broke the internet. Looking like lettuce in full bloom, we can’t help but check for cryptic messages from this outfit. Lettuce is a vegetable known for its very high level of fertility and beautiful bloom. So, Tiannah, bloom and multiply!
