Against a rich tobacco-brown studio backdrop, this silver and black asoebi makes one of the most unconventional colour choices in Nigerian wedding guest dressing — and pulls it off completely. The bodice is a black velvet boned corset with a sweetheart neckline, worn over sheer grey floral lace long sleeves that extend past the corset hem. The skirt is a heavily embroidered silver-grey sequin lace with large hibiscus and botanical motifs, flowing wide-leg or wrap-style to the floor with a side overlap. A pale blue velvet gele sits high and rounded above the look, while a diamond tennis choker, silver sandals, and a small navy woven clutch complete the styling. The combination of black velvet and pale blue together is the choice that makes this look genuinely surprising.
The black velvet corset is likely sourced or commissioned separately from the lace fabric — look for pre-made boned velvet corset pieces or commission one as a standalone from your tailor using a velvet with some stretch or structure. The silver-grey floral sequin lace can be found through Nigerian lace fabric suppliers who stock European-imported sequin lace. The pale blue gele is a straight pale blue velvet or silk — ask your gelee artist to create a compact rounded fold rather than a dramatic fan shape, which keeps the look sleek.
