Toke Makinwa flaunts baby bump
Toke Makinwa on Instagram announced that she was expecting her first child by sharing a video of her rocking her baby bump.
In the video, she wore a striking floor-length gown that beautifully combines glamour and artistic detail. The dress features a sheer skin-tone matching base adorned with intricate floral appliqués in shades of pink and purple, embellished with sparkling silver accents that cascade down the bodice and skirt. The floral detailing strategically covers the torso, adding elegance while highlighting her baby bump.
The gown’s standout element is its dramatic yellow overskirt, flowing from the waist into a long train that adds movement and vibrance to the look. She accessorises with statement drop earrings, layered gold bangles, and a confident, radiant smile. Her long, voluminous curls of her frontal lace wig frame her face, completing a sophisticated yet celebratory appearance.
