At the Miss World 2025 World Designer Award fashion shoot in Telangana, India, Miss World Nigeria, Joy Mojisola Raimi, captivated audiences in a self-designed ensemble that blends innovation with cultural homage. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Tiv fabric, her creation reimagines the iconic red-and-black striped motif with a contemporary twist—featuring a structured corset and dramatic, exaggerated sleeves.
The outfit is a powerful ode to Nigeria’s Tiv heritage. Its vivid red and black stripes symbolize strength and unity, while the intricately beaded bodice—resembling armor—pays tribute to the meticulous handcrafting traditions of Nigerian artisans. Every bead, placed with precision, reflects a deep reverence for cultural rhythm and craftsmanship.
The bold silhouette, with its strong shoulders and sweeping overskirt, evokes the essence of a Tiv woman—resilient, proud, and deeply connected to her roots. More than just a fashion statement, Joy’s design is a celebration of identity, heritage, and empowerment.
What sets Joy apart is her dedication to representing the rich diversity of Nigeria throughout the competition. Through her fashion choices, she transcends ethnic lines, highlighting the unity and strength of Nigerian womanhood.
As the Miss World 2025 pageant approaches its grand finale on May 31st, we commend Joy for her creativity, cultural advocacy, and inspiring presence on the global stage. We wish her every success as she continues her remarkable journey.
