Toke Makinwa Marks Her 41st Birthday in Striking Red, Her First as a Mother
Toke Makinwa turned 41 this week, marking her first birthday as a mother, and she did it in a dress that made its own statement. The Nigerian media personality, who welcomed her daughter Yakira Eliana in August 2025, celebrated in a custom red gown that instantly dominated social feeds for its structure, intent, and precision.

The gown was everything expected from someone who understands how to communicate through fashion. Cut in a sculpted form with a fitted bodice and flowing train, it projected assurance and attention to detail. The tulle around her shoulders gave it fluidity, while the deep red tone grounded the look in strength. It was not excessive; it was measured. Every choice appeared deliberate, signaling a new stage where Toke is comfortable being seen differently.

Her styling stayed minimal but sharp, with cropped hair, understated makeup, and bold earrings that reflected light just enough to underline the look.
The images from the shoot were intentionally composed. There was no sense of over-performance, only a clear portrayal of a woman whose priorities have shifted.
In her caption, she wrote, “It’s my first birthday as a mom, y’all, say a prayer for me.” The note was brief but revealing. For someone whose public life has always revolved around expression, that kind of simplicity spoke volumes.

Toke has long used style as a form of conversation, but this moment felt more intimate. The red was not for spectacle; it represented definition, a declaration of self on her own terms. It reflected a woman embracing motherhood while maintaining her sense of identity and command of image.
At 41, she is not reinventing herself; she is refining what is already there. The gown did not just mark a birthday, it reframed it. In red, Toke Makinwa did not perform motherhood; she owned the moment completely.

Ebube Nwagbo Impresses in Olive-Green Outfit at “Behind The Scene” Premiere
Ebube Nwagbo consistently wears statement pieces while keeping the focus on herself, and her latest Instagram post proves just that. Ahead of the “Behind The Scene” premiere, she shared images that let the outfit speak for itself. The caption was simple, yet the look was bold, reflecting her confident approach to daring fashion choices.

The outfit itself drew attention. She wore a rich olive-green set that combined volume and structure with precision. The off-shoulder top featured sculpted sleeves that wrapped around her frame in dramatic folds, while the midi skirt allowed the fabric to drape naturally without stiffness. Delicate floral appliqués at the waist introduced texture and softness, while a compact gold clutch and sculptural jewelry made each detail intentional rather than ornamental.
Styling strengthened the effect. A tidy bob highlighted her face, creating a contrast with the exaggerated top. Pink floral earrings brought in a playful touch, and pointed black heels anchored the outfit. Each piece worked together, and none overshadowed the others. Her careful balance of scale, shade, and accessories elevated the look, showing thoughtful attention to proportion and subtlety.

She wore it naturally, with confidence that felt genuine. Every detail lands exactly where it should, producing a look that is intentional, confident, and unmistakably her. In one appearance, Nwagbo demonstrates why she continues to be a style presence to follow.

She’s wearing a custom-designed sculptural gown by Amy Aghomi. It is made of a fiery red fabric and appears to be heavily embellished with crystal “stone” beads. The bodice is sleek, strapless, well-fitted, and cinched at the waist. The gown is flowing into layered swirls, creating a trumpet silhouette.
What makes this outfit exceptional is the distinctive, large, structured, hood-like frame covering her shoulders and face. It creates an artistic effect while maintaining elegance. She finished this look with matching red pointed-toe heels. She kept a simple yet statement accessory. Her neckpiece and chunky bangles made the dress stand out.

The outfit works so well because it aligns with the season creating, a direct nod to the holiday theme. Also, the confidence with which she carries the look gives the outfit presence. A dress can look beautiful on a mannequin but it truly has impact when the wearer feels comfortable and joyful and that is the kind of energy Mercy exudes in this dress.
