Hilda Baci wearing custom 31st birthday dresses by Clasikq Diane and Firstlady, styled by Emmanuel Goodnews Icon
Hilda Baci has given us two very good reasons to stop scrolling. The Nigerian chef, restaurateur and entrepreneur is 31, and for her birthday, she stepped out in not one but two looks that could not be more different. One came covered in florals, the other in gold, and both were styled by Emmanuel Goodnews Icon.
You might know Hilda for her record-breaking cooking feat or for My Food by Hilda, the food brand she has continued to build alongside her work as a chef and restaurateur. For this birthday, however, the kitchen was not the only place where she had something worth serving.
Look one arrived in the form of a Clasikq Diane floral corseted mermaid gown, and the first thing to notice is the colour. Olive green velvet sits against blush-pink tulle, with 3D floral appliqués, pearls and lacing running across the corset. If you have been sleeping on olive green and pink as a colour pairing, this dress might change your mind. The green gives the pink some depth, while the pink keeps the darker shade from feeling too heavy.
