Butter Yellow Chic: Toke Makinwa’s Guide to the Perfect Owambe Outfit
There’s been a shift in Owambe style recently. Women now favour rich fabrics, expert tailoring and thoughtful details over loud colours and big crystals. Toke Makinwa’s latest butter-yellow ensemble captures this trend. The wrapper features artful floral embroidery that catches the light without overpowering the fabric. The corset takes centre stage with its clean lines and delicate lace. It hugs the body in a feminine, elegant way. Her neatly folded gele adds polish, while the draped ipele brings a regal touch. Everything works in harmony. The fitted corset, embroidered wrapper, gele, pearl clutch and jewellery each shine without outshining one another. It’s a classy, modern take on traditional Owambe dressing you can recreate for weddings, receptions and celebrations.
