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.

Uche Jombo arrived at the AFRIFF 2025 Opening Night in a sculpted gown, a breathtaking display of high-fashion architecture and bold colour. She was a participant in a high-profile “Unadulterated Conversation” panel discussion alongside the likes of Davido and David Oyelowo.

Uche, styled by Dozie Jacobs, wore a sculpted canary-yellow gown that balanced volume and grace with fearless tailoring and femininity. The look began with a fitted bodice that had a modern, structured neckline and a subtle keyhole cutout. This provided a clean foundation for the drama that followed: exaggerated, voluminous puff sleeves that rose at the shoulder before stopping just above the elbow.

Instead of playing it safe with neutrals, the look embraced a stunning colour-block. Jombo paired the bright yellow gown with a deep, sapphire-blue rectangular clutch with glitter. This bold contrast was perfectly mirrored in her footwear: a pair of matching sapphire-blue pointed-toe pumps. Minimal jewelry and the impeccable finish by IROB beautyplug completed a composition that was both clean and disciplined.

“The girl took her first walk, and it was worth every step.” Hilda’s Instagram caption read. The recently concluded Lagos Fashion Week 2025 was a spectacular showcase, with several fashion designers and public figures gracing the runway. Hilda Baci took the catwalk for Lush hair, showcasing the brand’s latest hair collection—nova, a brand she represents as an ambassador.

She left the audience in awe with the poise and confidence as she sashayed down the runway. She embodied Lush Hair’s rich brand colour—Pink. She wore a two-toned ball gown consisting of a bright pink strapless top with a sweetheart neckline, attached to a high-low ruffled skirt in lighter pink tone paired with her braided Lush hair. She completed the look with a pair of silver, open-toed high heels with thin straps.

Her outfit and walk reflects the brand’s values of confidence, beauty, and inclusivity promoting a community where women feel empowered regardless of body size, skin tone, or physical ability.

Her appearance on the runway for Lush Hair was an impressive display. One that won’t be easily forgotten by viewers. She walked so gracefully leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
