Olga Obumova, in a key look from the Selkie Fall 2025 “Libertine” collection, channels the viral romantic regency trend with a bold, multi-layered silhouette.
The Russian model and social media figure Olga Obumova is captured in a captivating editorial featuring a core aesthetic from the Selkie Fall 2025 “Libertine” collection. This selection solidifies the brand’s position at the intersection of romantic fashion, the Regencycore influence that dominates celebrity style, and a contemporary playful maximalism. The outfit successfully merges historical costume elements—specifically the corset and opulent volumes—with modern, unexpected textures and styling choices, delivering a memorable moment in the recent fashion spread, a prime example for celebrity photos.
Obumova’s look is a masterful study in contrasting volume and texture. The centerpiece is a square-neck, quilted corset or bustier top, rendered in a pale pink satin and dramatically structured with vertical boning and rhinestone studs meticulously placed over the quilting. This gives the delicate color a punk-inflected hardness. The bustier is cinched with a lace-up closure at the front, emphasizing a classic hourglass silhouette.
Below the structured top, the skirt explodes into a multi-tiered ruffle construction. The voluminous, short skirt, also in satin, features an abundance of ruffled layers, lending a balletic and extremely feminine texture that contrasts sharply with the quilted diamond pattern of the bodice. This visual dynamic—hard structure paired with soft volume—is further amplified in the second image, where the look takes a decidedly historical turn with a printed, brocade-like satin gown featuring golden braid trim and an even more exaggerated ballgown silhouette.
For the first look, the styling is completed with an oversized, puffer jacket worn shrugged off the shoulders. The jacket mirrors the pink satin and quilting of the corset, transforming the historically inspired garment into a contemporary street-style piece. Her hair is styled in loose, voluminous curls piled atop her head, while the accessories—delicate pearl choker necklaces—reinforce the romantic, coquette sub-trend.
