Toke Makinwa Is Untouchable in Hertunba
On May 7, 2026, Toke Makinwa posted some photos on her Instagram with the caption “Outside but Untouchable.” Recently, she expressed to us that Hertunba has a permanent spot in her wardrobe. The media personality and entrepreneur have reached for the Lagos-based label more than once in a short period of time, and that kind of repeated loyalty means Toke does not wear things by accident. Every look is carefully picked out.

Her jewellery were simply stud earrings, silver bracelets and a wrist watch.

Makinwa completed her outfit with gold-coloured strappy heeled sandals.

This is not the first Hertunba look she has worn recently. Her last outing in the brand was a bold striped co-ord, a matching top and skirt in contrasting colours that leaned into pattern and print. This one is different, the all-black midi with its graphic bodice and flowing skirt is a step up.
