Iyabo Ojo Stuns in Olive Green & Orange Beaded Aso Ebi Gown with Grand Gele | OutfitLibrary.com
Iyabo Ojo delivers regal forest goddess energy in this rich aso ebi look. She wears an olive green, gold and orange beaded gown with a fitted silhouette, dramatic sculpted neckline and sheer sleeves. The bodice features intricate applique and beadwork that cascade into a patterned skirt, while a coordinating metallic green gele and matching aso-oke sash complete the ensemble. It’s the perfect blend of tradition, luxury and drama — made for the most important seat at a Nigerian wedding.
The palette is earthy yet opulent. The main gown sits in an olive/forest green base printed or woven with florals, while the beadwork introduces burnt orange, gold and champagne tones. The gele in a metallic green-gold fabric ties everything together and reflects light around her face. Jewelry in warm gold tones and soft, bronzed makeup keep the look cohesive and rich.
This look shows how to do rich colours and heavy embellishment without losing elegance. The key is keeping the silhouette long and clean, then focusing the most dramatic details at the bodice and neckline. The aso-oke sash is a great styling cue for anyone playing a special role at an event — it instantly reads as important and ceremonial. When working with strong colours like olive and orange, stick to a warm gold accessory story and glowing makeup so everything feels intentional and cohesive.
To recreate this Iyabo Ojo moment, start with an olive or forest green patterned lace/jacquard and ask your designer for a fitted column or mermaid gown with an asymmetric, highly embellished neckline and sheer sleeves. Layer on beads and appliqués in orange, gold and champagne tones. Add a metallic green gele and matching aso-oke sash to underline the traditional element. Finish with gold jewelry, bronzed soft glam makeup and neutral heels. The aim: look like the most regal aunty in the room.
