Thanks to her historic British Vogue cover, stellar red carpet moments, and inspiring activism, Adwoa Aboah is the model one everyone's lips right now. Naturally, then, we were more than a little excited when she invited our Who What Wear UK team into her home to show off her closet and talk all things fashion

In between poses on her all-leopard couch, Aboah told us what she wears when she wants to feel more confident, zeroing in on one special outfit in her closet: "When I want to feel powerful and I’m nervous about something, I put something on that I know is going to make me feel good. Usually I have one particular suit that I put on when I really need it: It's one I bought, a Balenciaga one. It's a mixture of being very tailored and fitting perfectly, but it's not too out there—it looks like you mean business when you’re wearing that."

If we owned this perfect Balenciaga suit, you can bet we'd bust it out for every important meeting and event too. Scroll down to see how Aboah styled go-to power outfit on the red carpet, and head over to Who What Wear UK to see our full photo shoot and interview

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
