Toke Makinwa is stepping into 40 with a fierce, unapologetic flair! After sparking buzz two weeks ago with a thanksgiving event many thought was her birthday, Toke clarified that it was a celebration of gratitude, not her big day. Today, however, she’s officially marking her 40th in high style with a jaw-dropping birthday photoshoot that screams elegance, confidence, and undeniable grace.
Photographed by the renowned Ty Bello, Toke shines in an array of breathtaking ensembles. She exudes sophistication in a luxurious wool-silk Elton Maxi Beaver coat by Lagos Space Programme, embodying timeless class. Another look features her in a striking little black dress adorned with a statement oversized white cape, cascading over her shoulders with dramatic flair. Rounding out the set, Toke glows in a soft nude, sleeveless evening gown, giving off an ethereal, almost goddess-like vibe.
Currently, she’s celebrating this milestone in scenic Tenerife, Canary Islands, joined by loved ones like her sister Ope Makinwa, Adebola Williams, Ini Edo, Emmanuel Taymesan, and Dorcas Fapson.
