Toke Makinwa‘s motherhood journey didn’t take away her fashion choices, it transformed them. Since she welcomed her daughter Yakira, the Nigerian Media Personality has shared varied looks that are hard to ignore. From dedication to birthday celebrations, she’s kept everyone following eagerly.

White Sculptural Gown

Toke wore an off-shoulder dress by Bridal Accent that had oversized puff sleeves with ruched detailing that flattered her figure. Her accessories were minimal. She wore a chain necklace, bracelet and a few rings. Her make-up was done in bronze and her short natural hair was styled beautifully. Her understated styling complemented the dress.

For the premiere of Osas Ighodaro’s “3 Cold Dishes,” Toke arrived in a sequined turquoise and coral top by Wannifuga that had a metallic rose waist before flowing into layers of crimson feathered hem. Sunglasses and matching clutch complemented the outfit.

Pink Beaded Architecture

At the dedication reception, Toke revealed her second look in this pink dress by Tubo RTW. It had an asymmetrical flower detail on one shoulder, and it transitioned into a beaded fringe. The beading created depth, while the heels completed the look.

Sometimes, heading out for the weekend is another chance to show off your fashion sense, and Toke embraced the opportunity. She came out dressed in a black top with embroidered sleeves and a long skirt, well decorated with floral appliques. She paired it with a gold headwrap that added a traditional Nigerian touch.

Red Trailing Romance

What a beautiful way to start a new chapter. Toke Makinwa didn’t leave her birthday celebration out of view. She wore a red gown by Emaginebybukola with a high-neck sleeveless bodice. The dress fit flawlessly before it flared into a train, with tulle panels, and edges at her hips.

What made this moment special was not only the clothes, but how she redefined the narrative that mothers should not forget their identity after childbirth. You can be a mother and still be a fashion icon.

Each Sunday this BBNaija season 11, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu comes out in something new. No repeats so far.

He has moved between sharp Western suits and full traditional wear all season. One week its a tailored double-breasted jacket with a two-tone gradient finish, the next its a flowing agbada with embroidery running down the sleeves.

The details are worth highlighting too. There’s a graphic maize motif stitched into a sky-blue suit, silver lattice sequin work on a black wrapper, and geometric patterns worked into denim fabric on an agbada. Several Nigerian designers have dressed him this season, including Mai Atafo, Deji & Kola, Ugo and Lisa Folawiyo.

He has also added extras to a few of the looks: a crystal-handled horsetail whip, layers of coral neck beads, sunglasses and a Louis Vuitton duffel bag.

He opened the season on July 26, 2026, in a charcoal-to-off-white ombré double-breasted suit by Mai Atafo. The colour fading from dark at the shoulders to almost white by the ankle. He finished with a large black lapel bow and patent shoes

On August 9, 2026, he appeared on BBNaija in another look by Mai Atafo, this time in a black-and-white outfit built from a cropped boxy jacket, wide-legged trousers, and a tie trimmed with pearls, and accessorized with a Louis Vuitton Keepall bag.

Most recently, on September 6, 2026, he hosted the eviction show in a forest-green two-piece suit by Deji & Kola, worn under a windowpane trench coat lined in a floral print. He paired it with brown shades and matching leather shoes.

Season 11 still has weeks to go, and if Ebuka’s run so far is anything to go by, there are plenty more looks to come.

Sharon Ooja attended the Lagos premiere of “19” in a sheer, ruffled leopard print gown. She captioned the post, “Giving leopard vibes.”

She wore a floor-length sheer leopard print dress with a high cutout at the front and ruffled layers falling all the way down to the floor. She used minimal accessories light: a pair of small hoop earrings and thin gold bangles on one wrist, plus a small black quilted clutch.

Her hair, styled by Adefunke, was pulled back into a low bun and wrapped in a matching leopard print headscarf. Sharon’s makeup was done by Annabel’s Glam in warm tones, with nude, glossy lips. She completed the look with black strappy heels laced up to her calf.

In her caption, Sharon explained why the night was important to her. She was there to support her best friend, Bisola Aiyeola, who stars in “19,” a crime drama written and directed by Tola Odunsi and distributed by Nile Entertainment. Sharon said she was proud of her and congratulated Tola Odunsi for bringing the story to the screen. “19” opens in cinemas nationwide this Friday, September 11.

Sharon also used the post to remind her followers that “Ordinary People,” the Netflix series she stars in alongside Ramsey Nouah, Adunni Ade, Chidi Mokeme, and Michelle Dede, is still streaming after its September 4 premiere.

She brought the same attention to detail to the “Ordinary People” premiere, where she wore a cream and white striped corset dress with a peplum waist and a bow tied above the hip.
