The daughter of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Winnie Odinga, has for years been known for her bold and relaxed fashion choices, often favouring trousers, shirts and structured outfits.
However, a recent photo has left some Kenyans discussing what they see as a gradual change in her style.
The picture, taken during what appeared to be a professional meeting with Waweru, showed the two shaking hands.
While the nature of their meeting drew little attention online, Winnie's outfit quickly became the main talking point.

A post sharing the photo suggested that the EALA MP had increasingly been embracing dresses and skirts, describing the change as a move towards a more feminine style.
“It looks like Winnie Odinga has started embracing her femininity,” the post read.
The comment sparked reactions from social media users, with some agreeing that they had also noticed a difference in Winnie's recent appearances.
Winnie’s changing style
Winnie has for years been associated with a more relaxed and androgynous style, often favouring trousers, shirts and structured outfits.
However, her wardrobe has also included dresses and other traditionally feminine pieces.
The latest discussion therefore appears to be less about a sudden change and more about Kenyans noticing a different side of her fashion choices.
In July 2026, Winnie responded after an Instagram user questioned why she often dressed “like a guy”. She pushed back against the scrutiny, arguing that women are frequently told how they should dress and present themselves.
The photo gets Kenyans talking.
The latest picture has once again shown how closely public figures' fashion choices can be followed online.
For some social media users, Winnie's recent outfits represent a noticeable evolution from the style many had come to associate with her.
Others have simply treated the change as another example of a public figure experimenting with different looks.
For now, Winnie herself has not publicly announced any deliberate change in her fashion style, leaving the conversation largely to social media users observing her latest appearances.
A closer look at Winnie’s fashion
Winnie's fashion has often stood out because she has not appeared to follow one fixed style.
During her public appearances, she has been photographed in everything from tailored suits and trousers to dresses, allowing her to move between masculine-inspired and feminine looks.
That freedom has also made her clothing a recurring subject of online conversations.
In the past, some social media users have commented on her preference for relaxed and gender-neutral outfits, while others have defended her right to dress according to her personal taste.
