Funke Akindele just said, “Why walk when you can fly?” — and she proved it not once, but twice, in butterfly-inspired outfits that deserve their own runway.

First up, let’s talk about Sunset Fantasy — a strapless, sequined bodice in pink, coral, and orange that melts into a pleated cape spreading out like wings. Fringe on the hemline catches the light with every step, and strappy heels plus statement jewellery make it a full-on fashion moment. If sunset had a dress code, this would be it.

Then Funke switched things up with Emerald Elegance, a deep green and gold masterpiece. Shoulders that fan out like butterfly wings, a beaded mermaid silhouette flowing into a train, and a matching headwrap that ties it all together. The gold clutch? Chef’s kiss. This one’s for the girlies who like their wings served with elegance and a side of drama.

So, tell us — are you team Sunset Fantasy or team Emerald Elegance? Either way, Funke is making the butterfly effect look like a style upgrade we all need.
