Liquorose is never one to blend into a crowd, and her latest look shows exactly why. Styled entirely by herself, the media personality delivered a bold mix of structure and shine pairing a sheer vinyl wrap top with a thigh-high slit skirt.

The key piece? Glossy black boots that climbed to the thighs, giving an edge to the look. Her styling played on contrasts soft layering against structured tailoring, sheer fabrics paired with tactile layers. Gold statement earrings and a nude-toned beauty look tied everything together, while her short pixie cut gave the outfit a sharp finish. It’s visual proof of how instinctively Liquorose understands proportion, contrast, and presence and example of someone who doesn’t just wear clothes but shapes it around her personality.

Her Instagram caption read, “Your cup of coffee? No! Shot of whiskey,” a fitting nod to the attitude behind the look. While she didn’t reveal her destination, her caption and hashtags hint at a possible Hennessy campaign appearance.

Liquorose’s style captures the spirit of Nigeria’s creative scene daring, innovative, and distinctly personal, bold, forward-thinking, and entirely self-defined. In an era where self-styling has become a statement of authenticity, she’s proving that vision and instinct can speak louder than any stylist’s touch.

Toke Makinwa turned 41 this week, marking her first birthday as a mother, and she did it in a dress that made its own statement. The Nigerian media personality, who welcomed her daughter Yakira Eliana in August 2025, celebrated in a custom red gown that instantly dominated social feeds for its structure, intent, and precision.

The gown was everything expected from someone who understands how to communicate through fashion. Cut in a sculpted form with a fitted bodice and flowing train, it projected assurance and attention to detail. The tulle around her shoulders gave it fluidity, while the deep red tone grounded the look in strength. It was not excessive; it was measured. Every choice appeared deliberate, signaling a new stage where Toke is comfortable being seen differently.

Her styling stayed minimal but sharp, with cropped hair, understated makeup, and bold earrings that reflected light just enough to underline the look.

The images from the shoot were intentionally composed. There was no sense of over-performance, only a clear portrayal of a woman whose priorities have shifted.

In her caption, she wrote, “It’s my first birthday as a mom, y’all, say a prayer for me.” The note was brief but revealing. For someone whose public life has always revolved around expression, that kind of simplicity spoke volumes.

Toke has long used style as a form of conversation, but this moment felt more intimate. The red was not for spectacle; it represented definition, a declaration of self on her own terms. It reflected a woman embracing motherhood while maintaining her sense of identity and command of image.

At 41, she is not reinventing herself; she is refining what is already there. The gown did not just mark a birthday, it reframed it. In red, Toke Makinwa did not perform motherhood; she owned the moment completely.

Toke Makinwa surprised us with mother-and-daughter mode in white. She and her baby girl, Yakira Eliana, gave us a memorable beautiful twinning moment we’ve ever come across to celebrate Yaya dedication. Toke wore an off-shoulder dress by Bridal accent that had oversized puff sleeves with ruched detailing flattering her figure.

Her accessories were minimal. She wore a chain necklace, bracelet and a few rings. Her make-up was done in bronze and her short natural hair was styled perfectly. Her understated styling complemented the dress.

Now, for baby Yaya, she came dressed in Dolce & Gabbana. The white christening gown flowed beautifully with delicate hand-applied floral details. She wore a headband designed with flowers at the top.

Just one look at Toke cradling her daughter in that gown would show you a touching moment between mother and child. The occasion was Yakira’s dedication, a Christain ceremony where parents present their child before God and the community. It’s an important part of life and Toke treated it with all the reverence it deserved.

The beauty was in both their matching whites and the joy in her eyes as she looked at her daughter. Away from the spotlight, this is just a mother holding her baby girl.
