Every time we think polka dots are fading into the background, someone stylish shows up to prove us wrong. This time, it’s Toyin Abraham, who turned a simple print into a full-on fashion moment.

Her look? A white off-the-shoulder maxi splashed with navy dots—some big, some small—cinched perfectly at the waist before flowing into an A-line skirt. Tie straps at the shoulders gave it a playful touch, like summer romance meets red carpet polish.

But the real flex was in the styling. Red coral earrings that punched straight through the monochrome calm. A pearl choker—multi-strand, no less—that whispered vintage glamour, but with Nollywood confidence. And to top it off, sleek, straight hair in a rich reddish-brown, plus glossy lips and sharp eyes that pulled the whole look together.

So, are polka dots still relevant? Absolutely. Toyin Abraham just proved they never actually left—they just needed the right accessories to remind us why they’ll always feel fresh.
