Beyonce couldn’t resist the charming lure of African fashion as she chose to place the spotlight on local fashion brands during a trip to South Africa. With the help of stylists, Zerina Akers and Peju Famojure, she brought a few brands into the limelight by wearing them during her trip to the continent earlier this month for Global Citizen Festival. Afterwards, the singer took to her Instagram newsfeed to showcase all the different outfits she wore in a style diary manner saying, “Thank you to the talented African designers who kept me feeling fresh. Y’all go so hard.”
Here is a breakdown of every African fashion designer that Beyonce wore below.
