If you needed proof that Nigerian celebrities take a wedding invitation very seriously, the wedding of music executive Soso Soberekon and his wife Ebiere just provided it in the most beautiful way. The celebration brought out some of the biggest names in Nigerian entertainment, all dressed in deep burgundy and wine-toned asoebi that turned the event into one of the most stylish gatherings of the year. And if you have been looking for asoebi inspiration, or simply wondering how to wear deep burgundy and wine tones without second-guessing yourself, these looks have all the answers you need.
The colour palette of the day was rich, warm, and unapologetically bold. Deep crimson, wine red, and burgundy in every texture imaginable, from heavily embroidered net lace and dense crystal beadwork to sequined corset bodices and draped tulle layers. The gele game was equally strong, with structured pleated wraps, fan-pleated towers, and smooth folded styles with rosette details all making appearances. This is what happens when Nigerian women are given a colour and a dress code and absolute freedom to interpret it.
Ini Edo arrived in an off-the-shoulder gown that immediately set the standard for the day. The deep crimson net lace was densely embroidered with gold and silver metallic floral threadwork, crystal beadwork, and sequins, all over a fitted sweetheart corset bodice with structured lattice-pattern sleeves and a floor-length finish draped in a semi-sheer tulle layer over the skirt. Her multi-pleated burgundy gele, diamond-style pendant necklace, silver bangles, and structured silver clutch pulled the entire look together with the kind of precision that makes you want to screenshot and save immediately.

Liquorose came in a strapless corset gown entirely covered in dense, high-shine seed beading and crystal embellishments in a rich wine-red tone, with a sharp sweetheart neckline and a dramatically draped wrap skirt structured around the hips. The fabric had so much texture and dimension that the gown almost looked like a piece of sculpture. She topped it with a towering fan-pleated gele and layered traditional coral bead statement necklaces with matching earrings and embellished metallic heels. The combination of the crystal-heavy gown and the traditional coral beads is the kind of styling decision that takes a look from beautiful to deeply considered.

Toke Makinwa was a vision in a crimson sequined lace corset look featuring sheer tulle cap sleeves, visible exposed boning, a flared peplum waistline, and a fitted column skirt that moved beautifully. Her smooth, folded gele with a side rosette detail, delicate drop necklace, and metallic silver strappy sandals brought the whole look to a close with a clean, assured finish.
