It’s been a week since the old girls from Kakumdo descended and made it rain at their Alma Mater’s 189th Speech and Prize Giving Day.
The internet hasn’t stopped buzzing with yellow and green fits all weekend. We’ve done a deep dive into the kente looks, but let’s be honest, the real MVPs were the white Thanksgiving dresses.
You rarely go wrong with white, and these ladies proved it. Clean lines, structured silhouettes, subtle beading, and dramatic flair—it was a masterclass in how to dress when you want to impress without trying too hard.
Whether you love minimalist elegance, grand statement pieces, or something in between, these fits work for a wedding guest vibe, a casual Sunday brunch with your girlfriends, or a family engagement.
Wesley Girls, make no mistake, is the school of Ewuraba energy; style, poise, and confidence all rolled into one.
We’ve curated 17 looks that deserve a permanent spot on your fashion inspo board.
Structured Drapes Done Right
A bold drape can elevate a look, and here it was paired with a well-fitted corset. Perfect example of structure meeting creativity. This is “Met Gala” behaviour in the middle of Speech Day. If you aren’t wearing a dress that requires its own zip code, are you even a Wesley Girl?
Playful Peekaboo dresses with puff sleeves
You rarely go wrong with crisp white. The simplicity, combined with playful design, makes these timeless classics.
Minimal Beading, Maximum Effect
Sometimes less is more. A structured silhouette with clean lines and understated beading steals the attention without trying too hard.
The Ethereal Mermaid
If you love a sheer moment, this is your inspo. A crisp white bodice paired with voluminous, ruffled sheer sleeves. The mermaid-style skirt flows beautifully, topped off with a green veiled fascinator that gives “secret agent at a garden party” vibes.
The Sheer-Hem Shirtdress
Nobody loves a stunning shirtdress as we do at BP. This is a modern take on the classic white dress. A long-sleeved, button-down silhouette that transitions into a stunning sheer tulle hem with floral lace embroidery. It’s airy and sophisticated
The One-Shoulder Drape
Grecian goddess meets Ghanaian excellence. This dress features a sleek one-shoulder design with a dramatic pleated wrap detail across the waist. The fascinator, a minimalist wire hoop with green accents, is pure modern art.
The Regal Lace Column
This look is all about texture. A high-neck, long-sleeved gown made of intricate circle-patterned lace. The silhouette is structured yet feminine, paired with a burgundy clutch for a pop of contrast. The pièce de résistance? A golden, spindly fascinator that adds height and high-fashion drama.
The Floral Lace Sheath
A full-length white floral lace dress with long sleeves. It is uniquely cinched at the waist with a wide, pleated fabric sash held by a pearl brooch, which breaks up the lace pattern. Combined with the green-and-gold floral fascinator and black lace-up gladiator-style heels give this a more edgy, “boho-chic” feel.
The Pleated Goddess
Comfort meets “Rich Aunty” energy. This floor-length white gown features fine vertical pleats that create a lengthening effect. The flared sleeves add a touch of whimsy, while the gold floral headpiece keeps it firmly in the “Speech Day Royalty” category.
Origami Queen
If you don’t know this quite famous Duaba Serwaa look, then you are probably living under a rock. The off-shoulder white top is cinched with a wide, structured corset belt, and the skirt features 3D origami, creating a silhouette that is part-swan, part-superstar.
The Floral Appliqué Dress
This body-con dress is covered in 3D floral textures, creating a luxury feel. The deep V-neckline is balanced by a massive, feathered emerald green fascinator. It’s a bold look for someone who isn’t afraid to be the centre of attention.
The Playful Mini
Who says Speech Day has to be floor-length? This look features a sweetheart neckline with a pleated mini-skirt that brings a youthful, energetic vibe. The pink floral fascinator breaks the white-and-green mold, showing that a little color goes a long way.
This body-skimming dress featuring horizontal ruching (gathering) across the torso and a halter-style neckline is the final boss of the Class of 2004.
The Ruffled Floral Overlay
A tea-length dress with a sheer floral organza overlay. The front is defined by a massive, vertical cascading ruffle from the neck to the hem.
The Laser-Cut Eyelet A-Line
A classic A-line silhouette featuring laser-cut geometric patterns on the sleeves. The fabric has a rich, embossed texture. This look is more understated, allowing the hot pink bow-tie heels and the Kente sash to be the primary focus.
The Sculptural Puff-Sleeve Midi
This crisp white midi dress features an asymmetrical neckline and exaggerated “balloon” puff sleeves.! This dress says, “I have a Masters’s degree and a thriving business, but I will still out-slay you at brunch.” The zebra clutch and polka-dot shoes? That’s not a fashion choice; that’s a statement of war.
The Pearl-Encrusted Mermaid
A sleek, long-sleeved dress with a mermaid silhouette. The bodice and shoulders are heavily detailed with white seed pearls.The standout feature is the fuchsia pink “wave” fascinator and a matching pink handbag, creating a sharp, vibrant contrast against the white fabric
