When it comes to statement outerwear, you can always trust Powede Awujo to deliver a look that is equal parts elegant and unforgettable. The beauty queen, pilot, nurse and entrepreneur has long been known for her polished, high-fashion style and her love for standout pieces that elevate even the simplest silhouettes.
But this look? This look is all about the jacket.
Powede stepped out in what might just be one of the prettiest statement jackets we’ve seen in a while, a stunning colourful piece from Nigerian fashion brand Maison Nwosu. The jacket features a structured black base brought to life with a grid of vibrant, multicoloured textured detailing that instantly turns the coat into wearable art. It’s bold without being loud, playful yet still very polished.
She styled the statement jacket over a sleek black outfit, letting the coat take centre stage. Then she added pops of colour with a green mini bag and matching embellished heels, tying the entire look together in a way that feels intentional, chic and very fashion girl coded.

This is a perfect example of how to wear colour in a sophisticated way. Instead of going for a fully colourful outfit, Powede lets one hero piece do all the talking and keeps the rest of the look clean and tailored. The result is a look that feels powerful, stylish and effortlessly put together.
If you’ve been looking for a sign to invest in a statement jacket, this is it.
Because sometimes, all you really need is one beautiful jacket.
