Delonyii’s Stylish Look at Global Entrepreneurship Festival 2025
For the second day of the Global Entrepreneurship Festival 2025 in Accra, digital creator Delphine Onyii shared a full carousel on Instagram, giving followers a detailed look at what she wore for the event. Her caption was straightforward: “Day 2 of @globalentrepreneurshipfestival 2025 in Accra Ghana. Couldn’t decide which to post so I posted all… Which is your favourite slide?” It matches the way she usually communicates online, being direct, minimal, and focused on showing the visuals rather than explaining them.

Delonyii – Instagram
Del, who has built her platform around fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content, arrived in a black two-piece suit covered with small gold ball-like accents arranged across both the jacket and trousers. The design is unusual for a business-driven gathering, but it fits her pattern of choosing pieces that photograph well and stand out without distracting from the overall look. The suit keeps its shape, and the detailing gives it texture.

Delonyii – Instagram
She paired it with a compact black handbag marked with a metal emblem, soft-tinted eyewear, and a high ponytail that keeps the attention on the suit. The pieces she added are practical for an event day and stay within the same colour range as the outfit. Nothing looks added for the sake of filling space; she kept the styling tight.
The outdoor shots show the suit under natural light, where the gold accents look more muted and blend slightly into the fabric. The indoor photos shift the focus, making the same detailing sharper and more defined. This difference explains why she posted several slides instead of picking one. The outfit registers differently depending on the lighting, and cutting it down to a single frame would change how it’s perceived.

Delonyii – Instagram
What’s clear in the photos is that Del is comfortable wearing something that could easily overwhelm someone unsure of their direction. Her audience is used to seeing her take risks with texture and contrast, and this outfit fits into that pattern without feeling repetitive. It’s also consistent with how she presents herself offline: confident, clear about her taste, and willing to wear something that doesn’t follow the typical event formula.

Delonyii – Instagram
Her appearance at the festival is not framed as an attempt to blend into a corporate environment. She shows that her personal style doesn’t get muted for professional spaces. Instead of adjusting her look to match the setting, she maintains the approach her followers recognise, which is part of why the photos generated attention.
Choosing multiple slides was not about looking for extra reactions; it was a practical choice based on how the outfit reads in different environments. The suit holds up across every angle, and the variety makes it easier for her audience to pick a favourite. In the end, each slide serves a different purpose, and that visual range is what makes the post engaging.

She explained that the role pushed her to think differently about pace, structure, and how to draw out useful points from each speaker. It gave her a clearer understanding of the demands that come with leading a panel and how much coordination and awareness the task requires.

For the event, Dabota wore a navy pinstripe suit from Emmy Kasbit Nigeria, styled by Folakemi Olasebekin.
