Gen Z, Zillennial or Millennial – no matter your age group, when it comes to style we can all agree that it definitely gets better with age. This dated quote “Women are like flowers that wilt with the passage of time” is considered null and void before African women who are defying the odds and redefining the world’s perspective of beauty.
In this feature, we have selected 5 prominent African women who are not just very successful in their chosen careers, but also timeless beauties. These women have seen trends come and go over the years, and have spent a lifetime refining their personal sense of style. Talk about ‘beauty and brains’. With all the knowledge and experience they have accumulated, we all want to learn a lesson or two from these #BellaStylistas.
In honour of celebrating women all through the month of March for BellaNaija Style Women’s Month, keep scrolling to discover key lessons on developing your own timeless style.
