Iyabo Ojo Serves Burgundy Pearl Statement Blazer & Skirt Suit | OutfitLibrary.com
Iyabo Ojo proves that power suiting can be pure drama in this burgundy statement look. She wears a sculpted embellished blazer and matching mini skirt in a rich, textured fabric, finished with bold layered pearl detailing draped across the front like fashion armour. With its sharp shoulders, nipped waist and architectural hemline, this outfit is made for statement entrances, photoshoots and high-profile events where you want fashion people to pay attention.
The palette centres on a deep burgundy wine tone that feels rich, romantic and a little edgy. The fabric itself has a subtle grid or quilted texture, which catches light and adds depth without competing with the pearls. The white/cream pearls draped over the blazer create striking contrast and instantly elevate the look into couture territory. Her makeup stays within a warm, neutral family — bronzed skin, softly defined eyes and a nude or rose lip — so the colour story remains elegant and grown.
This is statement suiting done the Nigerian celebrity way. The trick is taking a classic blazer-and-skirt formula and pushing it into couture territory with bold shoulders, texture and built-in embellishment. When wearing such a loud piece, keep everything else simple — no heavy necklaces, minimal earrings and a streamlined bag. If you're recreating this, focus your budget on perfect tailoring and quality embellishment; those are the details that photograph well and justify a dramatic design.
To channel this Iyabo Ojo moment, start with a tailored blazer and skirt set in a rich colour like burgundy, emerald or navy. Ask your designer to exaggerate the shoulders, nip the waist and add a slightly flared or structured hem. Incorporate pearl strands or appliqué across the chest and shoulders in curved lines — this is the key detail that makes the look special. Keep your top underneath minimal (or skip it with a secure, deep V like Iyabo does), then add strappy heels, a small statement bag and soft glam makeup. The goal is to look like you walked straight out of a fashion editorial.
