This year was a good one for fashion. Many African women took centre stage at both local and international events, repping both African and foreign designers. The women on this list would not be caught dead in an outfit that doesn’t ‘eat’.
Their commitment to impeccable styling, sartorial flair, and meticulously chosen pieces makes them the most fashionable women in Africa. 
Here Are The Most Fashionable African Women
1. Bonang Matheba (South Africa)
Talk about the hostess with the mostest. This South African woman is always found looking gorgeous on stages and red carpets. Bonang, with her trusted Nigerian stylist, Dahmola, showcases colourful and innovative designs that are not easily replicated.
2. Nana Akua Addo (Ghana)
Nana is the physical embodiment of the mixture of fashion with art and technology. Her outfits can only be properly termed as creations. Case in point, her look at the 2025 AMVCA and previous AMVCAs had our jaws on the floor.
3. Kefilwe Mabote (South Africa)
The category is old money and quiet luxury. The beige but beautiful aesthetic. When I think of how I want to dress when I become a rich working-class woman. I think of Kefilwe.
4. Didi Stone (Congo)
Didi had us in awe every single time this year – her sense of style and fashion was glaring because of how she picked pieces that are beyond the trends of the season. Didi takes the spot of a trendsetter on this list.
5. Chioma ‘Good Hair’ Ikokwu (Nigeria)
While Chioma has been accused of excessive logoism, she does still have endless style and creativity in her sartorial choices. You can accuse her of wearing too much conspicuous Gucci and Fendi from head to toe, but you can’t accuse her of not looking drop-dead gorgeous and fashionable.
6. Veekee James (Nigeria)
It’s not every time a fashion designer makes this list, but she deserves a spot. For her 30th birthday, she wore breathtaking outfits made by designers from all over Africa, and of course, she loves to wear fashionable pieces made by other designers for her day-to-day activities.

7. Hamisa Mobetto (Tanzania)
Hamisa is the picture of soft, feminine beauty. Her choices scream youthfulness and class. From mesh dresses to bodysuits to evening gowns – Hamisa takes the crown for class and beauty.
8. Tems (Nigeria)
Tems and her stylist Dunsin Wright make every red carpet and every concert a style fiesta. While remaining true to Tems’ aesthetic and sense of style, they are a fashion tag team of success.

9. Tyla (South Africa)
Tyla has hacked Y2K style with bralettes, tank tops, low-waist pants and more. Even though we were not blown away by her 2025 Met Gala looks as we were by her 2024 Balmain sand dress, her pre-Met Gala looks and being styled by the most popular stylist in the world, Law Roach, put her solidly on this list.
10. Serwaa Amihere (Ghana)
Serwaa’s simplicity is her power. Her style can be described as ‘corporate casual chic’. She is an endless source of inspiration for those working-class baddies.
