When guests arrived for the launch of the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation, the night became more than a charity event. Guests experience a blend of style, music, and culture throughout the evening. Among the many familiar faces present, one look that stood out came from Toke Makinwa.

Toke stepped out in a look inspired by Old Hollywood cinema. It was a reference to the kind of glamour seen in classic films from the 1940s and 1950s.

Toke Makinwa chose a floor length black gown with a pink off-shoulder cape that set the tone. The silhouette followed a traditional Old Hollywood structure. It hugged the upper body and hips before flowing down into a long skirt. The design itself stayed simple, which allowed the structure and fabric to carry the look.

The neckline sat neatly across the shoulders, giving the outfit a balanced shape. No detail was exaggerated. It leaned more toward the dressing style of vintage red carpet dressing where clean cuts defined the look.

Old Hollywood style rarely stops at the dress. Hair and makeup are just as important, and Makinwa clearly kept that in mind. Her hair was styled in a soft-waved waves updo. She kept her makeup neutral.

One noticeable thing about the look was the restraint in styling. Rather than layering multiple accessories, Makinwa stayed with a few carefully selected pieces. A pair of statement earrings and necklace complemented the neckline of the dress. The jewelry choice worked well because it filled the visual space near her face without making the look feel crowded.

What made the outfit stand out was not excess or spectacle. It was the consistency of the styling. The dress design, hair, and makeup all pointed toward the same reference point. Nothing looked random or disconnected.

Old Hollywood style has always been about balance. With structured gowns, defined hair, and strong makeup working together in a controlled way. Makinwa’s appearance at the event followed that formula closely.

On March 9, 2026, Tems shared photos on her Instagram when she performed with UK rapper Dave for a live performance of their hit song “Raindance.” The song became Tems’s first number one on the UK Singles Chart, so there was significant attention on the night. She captioned her post “My darling, can’t you see,” a line from the song and looking at these photos, the answer was written all over the dress.

She wore a white strapless bodycon gown with black polka dots. The fabric had a ruched finish that gave it texture.
For accessories, she went with diamond statement pieces: a thin choker at her collarbone, diamond bracelets on both wrists, and a few rings.

Her hair was styled long and wavy, falling past both shoulders. The makeup was a clean soft-glam look that included well-defined brows, smoky eye with winged eyeliner and a dark ombre lip with a deep brown liner blended into a burgundy center.

For a hot weather setting, white fabric does not hold heat the way darker colours do, it helps maintain comfort. The strapless cut keeps the arms and shoulders free. The fitted shape means the dress stays in place.

Tems is known for her personal, simple, and classic style; this outfit continues that style.

The BBNaija star arrived in a two-piece set crafted from black velvet. She wore a black strapless corset top with a sweetheart neckline and a semi-sheer structured bodice that emphasized her figure. She paired the blouse with a matching velvet skirt designed with sheer panels, vertical stripes and a long fringe.

Mercy carried a mini nude Hermès Kelly bag. She added gold statement pieces: large ornate gold earrings and multiple stacked bracelets and a wristwatch. She wore strappy heeled sandals.

Her hair was styled in loose curls with a center part and slightly pushed back at the front, while her makeup was done in a full-glam style. The strappy gold heels matched the metal in her jewellery and completed the look.

The velvet two-piece set defined the outfit, while the gold jewellery and nude Hermès Kelly bag added contrast and softened the darker tones, paired with strappy gold heels and full-glam beauty, the styling came together cleanly for the Laurent-Perrier Women’s Celebration .
