Lupita Nyong'o



Ruramai Rudo Musekiwa is a Zimbabwe-born, Johannesburg-based artist and activist. She is also the founder of the Sibahle Movement. The movement is a lifestyle brand that utilizes social media, digital media, and a diverse range of imagery and branding to promote positive images of African women and celebrate Africanism.
According to the movement’s website,
The overarching vision of this movement is that every African person that becomes aware of this space, internalises this truth. We are beautiful in all our unique and colorful ways and it is only when we fully embrace the beauty that lies in our uniqueness that we can truly live from a place of power.
The word “Sibahle” means “We Are Beautiful.”
As part of the movement and in celebration of South African Women’s Day, August 9th, Musekiwa created a series of posters to honor influential and inspirational African women from all over the continent.
“The statement it seeks to make, is that our young girls can and should find inspiration right here, within the continent, within our context as a people. Women are the pillars of our society and it is imperative that we pay homage to inspirational women that not only radiate authenticity and passion within their respective crafts, but also understand how their purpose is connected to others (Ubuntu),” Musekiwa said in a press release.


The Kenyan actress has been outspoken about colorism and gay rights.​

I dont like the shoes but perfect outfit for an event like that imo :)
and forgive my ignorance when it comes to black women's hair but is she wearing a wig? or can she achieve that much volumen just teasing her short hair?

it's most likely clip-in hair extensions of some sort, made with natural afro-textured hair, of course. i too love the outfit and think the hair is cute on her.

Those are probably crochet braids if she had the time. If not, it is a wig :)

Oh and she looks gorgeous and definitely got her mojo back ! For those who follow her IG, she wore the best outfits while in Kenya (and she looked absolutely amazing on the Safari.)

I dont like this look, when you look at the top part of the dress it actually looks like a really cheap top. And white shoes? :lol:
I do hope she keeps this hairstyle, it suits her.
 
It's Lanvin Resort 2016.


Thank you :)

I do like the look, but just not the shoes, and I absolutely hate the wig that she's wearing. I really do hope that she doesn't adopt this look. Her short hair is her signature look and accentuates her beauty
