Toyin Abraham Is the Queen of Monochrome and We’re Taking Notes
Toyin Abraham doesn’t just bring drama to the screen—she delivers it in her closet too. With her new film Iyalode hitting cinemas this Friday, June 6, she’s been quietly commanding attention in a fashion lane of her own. Her latest style move? A full-on monochrome moment—and we are completely here for it.
Black from head to toe one day, crisp white the next. Then she hit us with gold, circled back to black, and casually shut it down in lime green. It’s bold. It’s focused. It’s giving: “I know who I am.”
There’s something powerful about a woman who chooses a colour and commits. No busy patterns. No overthinking. Just sharp lines, smart tailoring, and a whole lot of presence.
And the way she wears each shade? Effortless. Like it was made just for her—and let’s be honest, is there even a colour that doesn’t work on her? Or on melanin-rich skin in general? We’re not convinced.
Thinking of doing a little wardrobe reset? Want to try the one-colour look that doesn’t try too hard but lands every time? Take a cue from Toyin.
Here are five of her most striking monochrome fits. We doubled up on black because, well—once you see them, you’ll understand why.
