Ebuka has been setting fashion trends for years and tops this list every year. In 2020 he continued in that stride.

The trained lawyer is even more influential because of one particular platform he’s on. Even amidst the pandemic, he made it to our screens every Sunday via his Big Brother Naija hosting gig.

For several weeks, he dazzled viewers with his array of fashionable fits from top designers. It wasn’t just about who the fits came from; most of it was how Ebuka looked in every fit. No matter who made them or what type of fit it was, It’s ridiculous how effortless and easy it was for him to look stylish in anything.

Ebuka’s emergence and continued dominance in the fashion scene have a lot to do with how he has reflected his personality in everything he wears.

Those who know Ebuka will tell you he’s a quintessential gentleman and you see that in the way he dressed and put a unique spin to every fit. He tops this list over the number two name here because his style is more adaptable and mainstream.

Prince stood out stylistically on the show and has had the opportunity to work with some of the top fashion designers since he got out of the house.

It all started from the house and how the former Mr Nigeria combined outfits. Prince is effortlessly cool in everything he puts on.
