Toke Makinwa Marks Her 41st Birthday in Striking Red, Her First as a Mother

Published

on

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.

Rema Seen at the Franca Fund Gala Wearing a White Tailored Suit

Published

on

Rema attended the Franca Fund Gala in Doha wearing a white tailored suit, highlighting his appearance.

The gala was hosted at the Museum of Islamic Art, and led by Anna Wintour and Francesco Carozzini, with several figures from fashion, art, and entertainment industry as they honoured the legacy of Franca Sozanni.

For an evening that’s set against a mix of personal interpretations of eveningwear, Rema showed up in a tailored all white suit that doesn’t require any embellishments. The white scarf he tucked into his jacket stood out without added detailing.

His sunglasses added a soft finishing touch, while there was a small silver brooch on his lapel. It introduced a modern edge without tipping into excess extravagance. Instead of settling for monochrome with white shoes, Rema chose reddish-brown dress shoes.

The contrast provided the right balance. The warm leather tones against the white created a rich and grounded effect that softened the starkness of the white. His locs, well styled, framed his face naturally, and he had a drink in hand looking comfortable at ease.

Rema’s low-key good style stood out amid the evening’s over-the-top looks, with deliberate details that made his outfit register naturally.

Nancy Isime Steps Forward in a Runway-Fresh Lanre DaSilva Ajayi Creation

Published

on

Nancy Isime brings a seasoned ease to this Lanre DaSilva Ajayi gown, worn during the designer’s 20th anniversary celebration. Her caption “Once a Model, Forever a Model” sets the tone for the moment as a natural return to a space she’s always been comfortable in.

Shot by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, she leans into a dress that does the work on its own. The gown comes in a full, structured form covered in oversized appliqué florals cut in velvet and set over a dotted sheer layer that gives the fabric depth without reducing its force. The saturated mix of red, yellow, and green aligns with LDA’s trademark approach to bold design and intricate handwork.

Her styling remains intentional. The gold drop earrings offer a counterpoint without pulling focus away from the dress, and the straight, neat hair keeps the attention on the dress. It shows the kind of clean beauty direction often used in Vogue’s eveningwear stories where the garment leads.

Nancy tags Dabota Lawson, Beauty Tukura, and Idia Aisien because they also walked the runway at the anniversary event, creating a shared moment among women with long-term ties to the fashion scene. The caption reads more like a nod to familiar ground than a staged setup.

The final impression is clear and controlled: a unique piece, a capable team, and someone who knows exactly how to wear a dress built for presence.

From her Instagram post, she wore a floor-length, one-shoulder gown with a short sleeve on the right hand and a draped cinched detail across the bodice and waist. The fabric gathered at the left side and flowed down into a slightly asymmetrical hemline. She opted for single accessory on her wrist.

Her clothing choices are clearly intentional. They reflect her persona. Her personality is defined by her endurance, persistence, and ambition in challenging the odds and remaining resilient. The colour works well because it highlights her dark skin tone, building a contrast that is warm and vibrant. It’s also a colour that draws focus. She seeks to be seen and her colour choices ensure that.
