When guests arrived for the launch of the Tiwa Savage Music Foundation, the night became more than a charity event. Guests experience a blend of style, music, and culture throughout the evening. Among the many familiar faces present, one look that stood out came from Toke Makinwa.

Toke stepped out in a look inspired by Old Hollywood cinema. It was a reference to the kind of glamour seen in classic films from the 1940s and 1950s.

Toke Makinwa chose a floor length black gown with a pink off-shoulder cape that set the tone. The silhouette followed a traditional Old Hollywood structure. It hugged the upper body and hips before flowing down into a long skirt. The design itself stayed simple, which allowed the structure and fabric to carry the look.

The neckline sat neatly across the shoulders, giving the outfit a balanced shape. No detail was exaggerated. It leaned more toward the dressing style of vintage red carpet dressing where clean cuts defined the look.

Old Hollywood style rarely stops at the dress. Hair and makeup are just as important, and Makinwa clearly kept that in mind. Her hair was styled in a soft-waved waves updo. She kept her makeup neutral.

One noticeable thing about the look was the restraint in styling. Rather than layering multiple accessories, Makinwa stayed with a few carefully selected pieces. A pair of statement earrings and necklace complemented the neckline of the dress. The jewelry choice worked well because it filled the visual space near her face without making the look feel crowded.

What made the outfit stand out was not excess or spectacle. It was the consistency of the styling. The dress design, hair, and makeup all pointed toward the same reference point. Nothing looked random or disconnected.

Old Hollywood style has always been about balance. With structured gowns, defined hair, and strong makeup working together in a controlled way. Makinwa’s appearance at the event followed that formula closely.

Tacha won the 100 ICONIC Personality of the Year, following her Instagram reveal on April 17, 2026 where she captioned “God did.” She moved away from the traditional floor-length gown to a structured, multi-piece ensemble by Pilz and Poizn.

The 2026 edition took place on Friday, April 10, 2026, at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos. The day was divided into two primary segments: Business & Leadership Summit and Awards Gala & Dinner, where Tacha was awarded alongside sectors, with individuals who have made significant societal contributions.

Tacha wore a blue and brown patterned damask off-shoulder top designed by Pilz and Poizn. The striking feature of the top is the oversized balloon sleeves, created through gathered fabric forming rounded, sculptural silhouette. The plunging V-neckline and boned corset bodice provide structure to her waist. She balanced the upper-body look with a high-waist harem-style wide-leg cuffed trousers in deep brown, with a layered blue wrap cinching the waist. For footwear, Tacha wore a pair of gold strappy stiletto sandals.

Her hair, styled by Big Wig Energy UK was set in a vintage finger wave bob that frames her face. She went for a makeup look that complements the outfit. She wore a brown smokey eye that mirrors the tones in her dress, then lined a winged eyeliner and a pair of wispy lashes. Her lips are 90s-inspired. A deep brown lip liner is blended into a nude gloss.

She kept her jewelry minimal. Tacha wore a pair of gold drop earrings and did not wear a necklace. Her handbag was a small white bag with a bamboo handle.

Her look was simple, specific and perfect for the event.

Funding a pair of jeans that feels different without trying too hard is rare. Most styles follow familiar patterns. Straight cuts, wide legs, distressed details, and sometimes a cropped hem. But every now and then, something quietly stands out. That is exactly what Teminikan did with this pair of jeans featuring a distinct ruffled hem.

At first glance, they look like a classic denim piece. Clean silhouette, structured fit, and easy-to-style color. Then you notice the hem. Instead of the usual straight finish, the jeans end with a soft ruffled detail that adds movement and personality. It is subtle enough to remain wearable but unique enough to cause a stare.

The ruffled hem gives these jeans character without making them difficult to style. That balance is what makes them appealing. The design adds a gentle feminine touch to denim, which is often associated with structured or casual looks. The ruffle softens the overall appearance and creates a more relaxed, stylish finish. It also introduces movement, especially when walking, which gives the outfit a more dynamic feel.

Another advantage is how the ruffled hem naturally draws attention downward. This makes your footwear more noticeable, whether you are wearing sneakers, heels, or sandals. It is a small styling advantage that can elevate a simple outfit.

One of the strengths of these jeans is how easily they fit into everyday outfits. You do not need to completely rethink your wardrobe to wear or style them.

They are easy to wear, easy to style, and different enough to feel special. Sometimes, all it takes is one small design detail to make denim feel exciting again. This pair does exactly that.
