Shade Okoya, a prominent businesswoman and philanthropist, is marking her 49th birthday with a spectacular display of personal style through a dedicated photoshoot. She has chosen a vibrant yellow ensemble to commemorate the occasion, presenting a radiant image befitting a style icon.
The striking outfit features a floor-length gown crafted from a rich mustard- gold fabric, intricately adorned with extensive beadwork. The embellishments create detailed geometric patterns across the bodice, lending a structured and sophisticated appearance to the sleek column silhouette. The sleeves are made of sheer material, also embellished, extending gracefully from shoulder to wrist. A V-neckline adds a touch of understated elegance to the overall design.
A notable feature of the gown is the fringe peplum detail at the hip, which introduces dynamic movement and dimension to the dress. This design element enhances the slim, floor-sweeping cut of the gown.
Complementing the dress is a tall, sculptural gele, fashioned from the same golden-yellow fabric. It is expertly tied into a full, voluminous shape, complete with a rosette accent at the front, creating a cohesive and regal aesthetic.
For her accessories, Shade Okoya opted for silver jewellery, including a layered choker and drop earrings. This deliberate choice provides a striking contrast, preventing the ensemble from appearing monochromatic. She paired the outfit with pointed-toe satin heels in a matching yellow hue, detailed with embellishments on the toe.
Her makeup is meticulously applied, featuring defined lashes and a neutral lip, contributing to the polished and refined look. The entire ensemble was captured through a photoshoot styled by Felix Crown, with the attire designed by Tubobereni and the gele expertly crafted by Taiwo’s Touch. The beauty and styling were managed by Tenny Coco.
The colour yellow proved to be an inspired choice, with Shade Okoya fully embracing the hue across her attire, from the gown and gele to her shoes. This unified approach resulted in a memorable and visually impactful celebration of her birthday.
