She wore a royal blue, long-sleeved mini dress, featuring an elaborate, multi-coloured artistic design in the front torso area. The dress was cinched in the waist to give more definition to her hourglass shape. She pairs this look with a gold strappy high-heeled sandals and a small orange handbag, which added a contrasting pop of colour. And of course, a well laid hair and a neatly done face glam.

The outfit works perfectly for such an event which celebrated two decades of excellence and achievement in the fashion industry. Not a small feat. Her outfit is chic without being stuffy, and glamourous without being overly traditional and dramatic even though you might have expected her to be considering the kind of event it is. Her outfit strikes a perfect balance between evening-wear elegance and party-ready fun, which allows her to move freely and socialize.

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.
