Iyabo Ojo Shuts It Down in Black Sequin Mermaid Gown with Multicolour Panel & Oversized Hat | OutfitLibrary.com
Iyabo Ojo steps into full fashion villain era with this look — in the best possible way. She wears a black sequin mermaid gown with a daring plunge neckline, long sleeves and a structured multicolour geometric corset panel that snatches the waist and hips. The look is finished with a huge, tilted wide-brim black hat and sharp sunglasses, giving futuristic couture mixed with Afro-glam drama. This is the kind of outfit that doesn't just attend an event; it owns it.
The foundation is inky, galaxy black — sequinned from top to bottom so it glitters like a night sky. The corset-style panel introduces a burst of electric colour: cobalt blue, fuchsia, red, orange, teal and metallic accents arranged in angular geometric blocks. Because the rest of the look (hat, sleeves, skirt) stays purely black, the colours feel deliberate and graphic rather than busy. Nude glam makeup with warm tones and a soft lip stops the look from tipping into costume; it stays chic and modern.
This is how you do maximum drama with control. The silhouette is classic — long sleeves, mermaid skirt — but the plunge, colour-block corset and hat push it into high-fashion territory. If you're recreating something similar, keep the colour explosion contained to one area (like the waist panel) and let the rest of the dress be a single dark tone. Accessories should stay minimal but bold: one strong statement like an oversized hat or sculptural earrings, not both. The overall mood: mysterious, powerful and camera-ready.
To mirror this Iyabo Ojo masterpiece, ask your designer for a long-sleeve sequin mermaid gown in black with a deep plunge and choker neckline. Build a structured corset section at the waist using multicolour fabrics or sequin patches arranged in sharp geometric shapes. Keep accessories sleek — oversized hat, minimal jewellery, dark sunnies — and go for polished glam makeup. This is not an everyday dress; it's the one you wear when you want all eyes, all cameras and all headlines on you.
