While runway collections remained the main attraction at Paris Fashion Week, the streets surrounding the shows continued to offer another style showcase. Among those in attendance was Nigerian medical doctor and fashion influencer Akin Faminu, who appeared in two different looks that reflected his long-standing approach to personal style.

For his first appearance, he wore a two-piece outfit by Trax Apparel a cropped, long-sleeved jacket and matching high-waisted flared trousers. The jacket featured blocks of olive green, navy blue, deep red and yellow, with abstract face designs on the front that gave it a rooted look. He paired the outfit with a black cowboy hat, dark sunglasses and cowrie-shell rings.

The look combined bold colours with structured tailoring, while carefully selected accessories completed the outfit.

For his second look, Akin Faminu switched to a coordinated brown outfit that combined traditional dressing with modern tailoring. He wore a loose-fitting long-sleeved top with wide sleeves, paired with high-waisted wide-leg trousers. A matching wrap detail around the waist added structure to the outfit while maintaining its relaxed silhouette. He paired it with brown Yoruba fila finished with a side fringe, tinted sunglasses, layered necklaces, gold bracelets and statement rings, wearing a brown woven leather slip-on loafers, keeping the entire appearance within the same earthy palette.

Fashion has remained an important part of Akin Faminu’s public identity for several years. Beyond his work as a medical doctor, he has built a reputation for championing African designers and presenting traditional craftsmanship in contemporary ways. Whether attending fashion weeks, award ceremonies or cultural events, his outfits often combine modern tailoring with details that reference Africa’s rich heritage, making each appearance part of a broader fashion conversation.

Akin Faminu has long used fashion as an extension of his public identity. Across international appearances, he has consistently highlighted African designers and their work, and his latest Paris Fashion Week outfits continued that tradition through two different styles of menswear.

Mimi Yina, popularly known as Medlin Boss, attended Funke Bucknor-Obruthe’s 50th birthday celebration in a stylish outfit. The event honored one of Nigeria’s most respected names in event planning, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe been founder of Zapphaire Events. For an occasion this big, the stylist and CEO of Medlin Couture came dressed to match the event.

Medlin arrived in a two-piece consisting of an orange and white patterned A-line tunic layered over high-waisted, wide-leg white trousers. The tunic had a bold, abstract organic motif, styled wide open at the front to reveal a white collar and wide cuffs, giving it a tailored shirt-jacket look. Her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, parted cleanly down the middle. She styled it with an architectural white headpiece.

Her accessories was a cream-coloured leather top-handle handbag with clean lines and gentle hardware. For jewelry, she wore chunky earrings and a gold watch. She completed her outfit with orange satin pointed-toe pumps with a flared heel and an ornate, glittering crystal sunburst brooch at the toe front

Medlin Boss has had her hands full lately too. Earlier this year, she was busy dressing Ini Edo in a black, off-the-shoulder Medlin Couture gown for the actress’s birthday shoot, and BamBam in a white lace gown for hers.

Funke Bucknor-Obruthe’s 50th was always going to draw out the best in Lagos fashion circles, given her standing as a pioneer in the events industry, and Medlin Boss did not disappoint.

Just days before the party, Medlin had worn a completely different look, a brown corset top with a red lip stitched onto the waist, a green and white striped skirt flaring out at the bottom, and green satin heels to match, plus a green and gold beaded bag. Nothing about that outfit looked like the clean orange and white combo she wore to the birthday celebration. One week she was giving simple and neat, the next she was giving loud and dramatic.

Toke Makinwa was one of the guests at the BellaNaija Next Gen Creator House. The event, known as #BN20CreatorHouse, happened in Lagos on June 25, 2026. It was a partnership between BellaNaija and Google Gemini, designed as a one-day workshop for young Nigerian creators aged 18 to 25.

The event was all about teaching them how to level up in content creation, storytelling, personal branding, and growing an audience. They also covered how to use AI responsibly as part of their toolkit. While the event was focused on the next generation, Toke’s outfit showed that she’s still a major style icon who knows how to steal everyone’s attention.

At the event, Toke wore a red tweed halter mini dress with a sharp, elongated collar and a plunging V-neckline by Nigerian designer Weizdhurm Franklyn. The textured fabric carried a simple white grid pattern, and the skirt had asymmetric draping that fell into a long side train finished with long red fringe.

Her hair was made into a full side-parted retro bob styled with soft, Hollywood waves that framed her face. For accessories, she carried a white smooth heart-shaped clutch held at the hip, and wore white-framed sunglasses. Her jewellery was metallic gold chain bracelets stacked on the right wrist, a silver watch and diamond stud earrings. Makinwa complemented her look with white pointed-toe stiletto pumps.

Toke definitely knows how to create a moment at creative events. Back in late March, she moderated a panel at Funke Akindele’s “Creative Blueprint Masterclass 2.0” in an oversized grey suit and layered jewelry, a bold look she captioned, “Call me Ms. Grey.” From sharp, structured power suits to the red tweed gown she wore at the BN20Creator House, Toke consistently proves she can easily shift her look to match the room while always maintaining her commanding presence.
