Toke Makinwa vs Chioma Ikokwu — Who Rules Supreme as Fashion Queen?

Published

on

If there’s one thing Nigerians are known for, apart from our music and food, it’s our fashion sense. And guess what? We’ve got Nigerian fashion darlings who bring their A-game any day, any time.

Guess who they are? TV host Toke Makinwa and reality TV star Chioma Ikokwu. They’re not your regular type of ladies. These are strong, beautiful, and powerful women who leave people whispering from ear to ear whenever they show up.

Is it the red carpet you’re talking about? A high-class event? Or just a casual photo dump? One thing I’m sure of is this: they don’t just dress, they make every outfit count. But let me ask you this question, who do you think really deserves the throne in the fashion game?

That’s a difficult choice, right? Well, that’s why I’m here. Are you a glam elegant queen or a dramatic queen? Let’s break it down together.

Toke Makinwa: Glitz. Glam. Precision.

Toke Makinwa is not just an ordinary stylish babe, she’s a calculated chic boss. For every of her outfits, it seems as though there was a boardroom meeting with the style team who gets the vibe before she shares the outfit on Instagram. In the space of red carpet and luxurious fashion, she thrives. You would never catch her unfresh. Everything about her style screams, “I don’t just dress, I dominate.” let’s start with the off-shoulder black gown. The outfit hugged her in the right part, shines where it should, and had a daring slit at the corner. She hasn’t even started yet.

There goes the blue-embellished number with a luxury coat. It’s a combination of sparkle and drama. Is that all? Definitely not. The golden two-piece moment? It’s styled with jewelry. Toke Makinwa is definitely who she says she is — and her style may not be “simple,” but it is structured. Everything is placed intentionally. Even her casual slay looks planned.

You can tell that for Toke, fashion is not an afterthought, it’s a brand statement. She brings her A-game whether she’s stepping out for brunch or shutting down a gala. One thing is clear about her: Toke doesn’t guess, she calculates and serves.

Chioma Ikokwu: Regal. Artistic. Fearless.

On the other hand, Chioma Ikokwu is not your regular fashion babe. She’s a walking fashion exhibit — no jokes. Every time she shows up, it’s giving a rich aunty and energy vibes.

Let’s talk about that burgundy mermaid gown — off-shoulder, full lace appliques, and the way it hugged her figure? E choke. That dress wasn’t just pretty, it was powerful.

Now breathe — because we’re not done. Remember that asymmetrical slay? One shoulder giving sculpture, bodice snatched like a masterpiece, and that dramatic swirling headpiece? It looked like she was heading straight to the Met Gala, not your regular events.

One thing you can’t take from Chioma is confidence. She doesn’t play it safe. In fact, she doesn’t even try to blend in — she was born to stand out. Each outfit feels like it came straight from a museum. She wears art, not just clothes. From her hair to her poses, everything is intentional.

Let me be honest with you — Chioma is not in this fashion thing to try. She came to own the stage. Period.

Same Stage, Different Spotlights.

Toke and Chioma might live in the same fashion world, but they definitely walk different lanes. From the look of things, Toke is the queen of simple elegance. She knows how to shine without doing too much. Clean, classy, always intentional.

Chioma, on the other hand, is the queen of dramatic couture. Her style screams royalty. It’s bold, regal, and she wears it like she was born to rule the runway.

Now, over to you — Who truly rules supreme as a fashion queen?

If you’re all about glam with poise and structure, Toke is your best girl. But if you live for a bold, statement-making slay, then Chioma is your fashion fave.

At the end of the day, Nigeria’s fashion scene is rich because of women like these. Women who aren’t trying to be like anyone else. And that? That’s what real fashion is — being unapologetically yourself like the queen that you are.

So, which one of these looks made you scream “wow”? Let me know in the comments.

Mimi Yina was seen recently in a dress by Nigerian designer Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, and it was unique one. The hot pink colour was the highlight of the gown, but the details of the outfit are what makes the dress noticeable.

The dress has a dramatic high-low silhouette, with a short, fitted sequined skirt visible at the front and a long flowing train that falls to the floor. The gown appears to be made from a pleated fabric, giving it a voluminous texture. It has a halter-neckline and is designed with large flora-shaped bows, one at the waist and the other one near the knee.

She paired the outfit with simple silver strappy heels and minimal jewelry. Everything worked well with the strong outfit. Her hair and makeup were kept neat and natural.

The outfit design is distinctive. Weiz Dhurm Franklyn took a different approach with this piece, especially in how the details of the dress were handled. On mimi the dress suited her, like it was meant solely for her. With the bright colour adding more character to the overall look.

With bold colours and heavy details becoming more common, this dress still stands out because of how well it was put together. Nothing feels random, from the pleats to the bow placement.

Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, has built a reputation not just for his music but also for his personal style. In a recent interview, the Nigerian Afrobeats star shared his approach to fashion, especially his preference for black, and revealed how his mother influences the way he dresses.

Rema often starts with the basics, choosing black pieces as the foundation of his outfits. He explained that black allows him to build looks that reflect his personality without unnecessary distraction. This approach appears consistently in his streetwear, stage looks, and public appearances. He pays attention to details such as accessories and fit, combining comfort with a sense of personal expression.

Family also plays a role in his choices. Rema said his mother values him dressing in ways she considers responsible and presentable. He described this as guidance rather than limitation, a reminder of his upbringing and the values that shaped him.

In discussing style, Rema noted that clothing is a form of self-expression. He also touched on relationships, explaining that while financial stability matters, style and presentation are more important when considering a partner. This perspective mirrors his approach to fashion: thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in personal standards rather than trends or external pressures.

Rema – Instagram

Rema’s comments provide insight into how he balances public image and personal values. For him, fashion is more than appearance; it is a way to express identity, stay connected to his roots, and respect the expectations of those closest to him. By prioritizing simplicity, consistency, and responsibility, he demonstrates that style can be meaningful without being showy.
