If there’s one thing the Yoruba people will do, it’s slay with intention. And nowhere is that energy more pronounced than at the Ojude Oba Festival. This year’s edition? 2025? Absolute cinema. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was the Met Gala held in Ijebu-Ode. We’re not even joking. We’ve pulled together 10 outfits from this year’s festival that truly left us gasping. But first, a little cultural context.
What is the Ojude Oba Festival?
The Ojude Oba Festival is a time-honoured cultural event celebrated annually by the Ijebu people of Ogun State, Nigeria. Translating to “the king’s forecourt,” Ojude Oba is essentially a grand homage by the various Ijebu age grades called regberegbe, to the Awujale, the traditional ruler of Ijebuland.
