The gown, a sheer, nude-toned creation adorned with intricate blue floral appliqué and mirror-like embellishments, fit her like a second skin, accentuating her figure in all the right ways. The plunging neckline and sparkling details elevated the dress even more.
As if the gown wasn’t enough of a statement, Toke Makinwa added a show-stopping, floor-length jacket to the ensemble. The jacket was crafted in a soft blue fabric with complementary floral and abstract patterns in blue and silver. It swept the floor with every step she took, commanding attention and adding an extra layer of opulence to her look.
Her footwear—a pair of jewel-encrusted open-toe heels—was perfectly in sync with the theme of the night.

Her hair was sleekly styled, parted on the side, and slicked back to give a wet look. To complete her ensemble, she wore a multi-layered choker necklace and chic sunglasses.

This is not Toke Makinwa’s first Best Dressed win at the Future Face Africa event. Back in 2017, she wowed the crowd in a golden-yellow sleeveless ball gown by Gert-Johan Coetzee, channeling Belle from Beauty and the Beast. That moment cemented her as a fashionista, and she has only continued to set new benchmarks on the red carpet ever since.
