For her mother Jedidiah Ogunleye's 70th birthday celebration, Simi showed up in a custom burgundy lace corset gown that made a strong case for the colour as her signature. The gown was built on a sheer lace mesh base, layered with glass beadwork, metallic sequins, and floral appliqués sitting at the hips to define the silhouette. A sweetheart neckline led into sheer sleeves, and leaf-shaped paillettes scattered across the skirt caught the light with every step.
She topped the look with a burgundy gele threaded through with soft copper accents, pulling the whole palette into one cohesive moment. Her gold accessories stayed intentionally minimal: hoop earrings, a slim choker, and a diamond ring. A crimson manicure tied it all back to the dress without competing with it.
Her beauty choices matched the restrained energy of the outfit. A matte base, softly defined brows, rose-toned eyes, and a neutral glossy lip kept everything polished without overpowering the craftsmanship of the gown itself.
There is something quietly moving about dressing this carefully for your mother's milestone. Simi clearly put thought into every detail, and it showed. The full look is on her Instagram, and honestly, it deserves a long scroll.
