STYLE LOOK BOOK
Gold is King: A Night in the Mali Empire
The Wolverine Bar Foundation proudly presents its 64th Annual Barristers’ Ball on April 25, 2026, at the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center. This year’s theme is “Gold Is King,” honoring the legacy, leadership, and influence of Mansa Musa and the Mali Empire, one of the wealthiest and most culturally vibrant civilizations in African history. This theme blends history and imagination, inviting attendees to a night of grandeur, celebration, and regality.
The pages of this look book will guide you through styles, vendors, and accessories to allow you to “Spend a Night in the Mali Empire.”
The annual Barristers’ Ball is the signature fundraiser for the Foundation, supporting the Wolverine Bar Foundation’s charitable mission and community programming. Your participation and sponsorship help expand opportunity, invest in future leaders, and strengthen the work we do throughout the year. We look forward to celebrating with you on April 25, 2026.
Warmly, Jasmine A. Moore President, Wolverine Bar Association & Foundation

Gold is encouraged, metallics welcomed.
Pair with black, ivory/cream, chocolate, or royal purple for a regal look.
Look to tailored suits, evening gowns, and structured silhouettes that exude sophistication and grace. These elements serve as a testament to the idea that certain styles transcend trends, offering a sense of
reliability and refinement that resonates across generations.
Headwraps, with their rich history and cultural significance, offer a versatile option for styling hair while adding a pop of color or pattern to your look.
Mixing and matching these elements requires a bit of fashion courage, but when done right, it results in a look that is both eye-catching and sophisticated.
Statement necklaces, bold earrings, or a unique watch, have the power to transform an outfit and express personal style. So, when dressing up, consider letting your accessories take center stage and watch how they bring your entire outfit to life.
