The Evolution of Toke Makinwa’s Style From Girl Next Door to Fashion Icon

Once upon a time, Toke Makinwa was just that sweet girl with a charming smile and a girly wardrobe to match. Fast-forward to a few years, she is now one of Nigeria’s biggest fashion powerhouses and is always serving looks, always on point, and forever giving us something to talk about. The Toke we knew has evolved, and her style has grown with her, transforming into a full-blown fashion icon who’s earned her place at the top.
Let’s take a walk down her memory lane and see how Toke moved from a simple girl and became the queen of slay.

Toke Makinwa
Early Days: Simple, Sweet & Safe
When Toke Makinwa first stepped into the entertainment industry as a radio personality and budding TV host, her fashion style was cute, conservative, and very safe. Think corporate dresses, blazers, and the classic pumps that were all invoked in early 2010s Naija. Her style was clean and feminine, a mix between church-girl and red carpet-ready.
She wasn’t out to shock anyone, she was just your regular pretty girl with quality taste. But even then, you could tell Toke had an eye for elegance. She knew her angles, understood the power of a flattering look, and could rock a fitted dress so well.

The Glow-Up Era: Hairs and Bold Moves
Toke’s glow up era began somewhere between her personal reinvention and the launch of her YouTube channel Toke Moments, that time bore a new fashion start.
Bold-colored wigs, flawless makeup, snatched waists, and fierce red carpet looks—Toke began taking risks, and it paid off. She abandoned the “safe zone” and started experimenting with designer pieces, edgy styles, and daring colors. Her love for high fashion became obvious, and she merged streetwear with glam effortlessly.
This was also the season of body hugging dresses, jumpsuits that fitted every curve perfectly, and a steady flirtation with luxury brands like Gucci, Balmain, and Versace. Toke no longer played small, she was serving main character energy.

The International Girl Era
Then came what I like to call the “International Girl” chapter. When Toke started attending fashion weeks in Paris, rubbing shoulders with A-listers, and appearing in Vogue’s street style recaps.
Her style evolved into global, sleek, and editorial. We started seeing her in custom outfits, like oversized blazers paired with bralettes, and feathered gowns, straight from international designers. At this point she was not just dressing to impress anymore, she was dressing to influence. And influence she did.
Stylists and fashion bloggers started citing her as an inspiration. Nigerian designers saw their pieces gain attention after a “Toke moment.” The girl who once wore safe gowns was now confidently pulling off structured dresses, styled suits, and runway-ready pieces. She had officially become a fashion girl.
Brand Toke: Style Meets Strategy
As she evolved, Toke Makinwa didn’t just become a style icon, but also a brand. She launched her own fashion collection “Toke making Luxury”, an exquisite leather bag. She also launched her beauty line “Toke Makinwa Beauty” a brand majoring in beauty, cosmetics, and personal care. An expression of her fashion personality.
She understood what it meant to show up and show out. And she kept her audience guessing, always switching things up. One day she’s in soft, romantic pastels and florals. The next day, she’s channeling her inner baddie in a head-to-toe leather look.
The unpredictability, mixed with her consistency, is what kept her relevant and respected in the ever-competitive world of Nigerian fashion.

Why Toke Style Is Loved
Toke Makinwa’s style journey wasn’t just about clothes. It’s about growth, confidence, and a woman coming into her own. From her failed marriage to business wins, Toke has used fashion to reflect her evolution—and Nigerians have watched every step of the way.
She’s taught us that you can be soft and sexy, classy and bold, playful and powerful. You can move to any desired level you want in life and your style should evolve with you.

Final Word
Toke Makinwa didn’t just stumble into fashion greatness—she walked into it head high, looks and all. From a simple girly to a full-blown style queen, her evolution has been a joy to watch.
If there’s one thing to learn from Toke, it’s this: never be afraid to switch it up, serve looks, and own your game. Because fashion is not just what you wear, it’s how you show up in the world. And Toke? She shows up fierce.

Mimi Yina in AMIRI—Confident, Clean and Unmissable

Some people just know how to wear clothes. Mimi Yina is one of them. Her recent look in an oversized AMIRI denim shirt dress is a reminder that you don’t have to shout to be seen—you just have to show up in style.
The denim piece, loose and relaxed, carries bold AMIRI lettering across the front. It’s cut short enough to feel fresh and modern, with white piping that gives the look structure. It’s casual at first glance, but everything about it—from the fit to the finish—says premium. It’s styled clean—no extras, no fuss here, yet the outfit still holds its own.
Mimi doesn’t rely on the dress alone. Her styling choices bring in all the personality. The oversized crystal “B” earrings are unapologetically glam, while the tiny embellished sunglasses add a playful, almost cheeky touch. Then she throws in a red Balenciaga clutch—soft, padded, and impossible to miss. That splash of colour lifts the denim and pulls the look forward.
She stacks on a gold cuff and a watch, mixing metals without hesitation. On her feet? Deep blue heels with a sparkling brooch, giving the look just enough lift and drama. Her hair is slicked back in a neat ponytail, her face glowy but not overdone—everything works together without competing.
What makes this outfit click isn’t the label. It’s the ease. Mimi wears it like she’s not trying to impress anyone—and that’s exactly what makes it impressive. The styling feels personal, not performative. Confident, not calculated.
In a space where many dress up to be seen, Mimi dresses because she understands how to speak without saying a word. This AMIRI moment isn’t about trends. It’s about knowing your lane—and owning it.
