Beyoncé hit the stage in Houston for her Cowboy Carter tour, and one of her most memorable outfits was a shimmering bodysuit from the Senegalese fashion brand Tongoro. The piece featured 444 golden Cowries and 44 Crystals for the first night of the Cowboy Carter tour in her hometown of Houston, Texas. Another interesting feature was a mirror-like design on the torso of the outfit.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Tongoro (@tongorostudio) Tongoro was founded by Sarah Diouf in Dakar in 2016. The inspiring company focuses on local talent by employing Senegalese tailors and sourcing materials from local markets. Diouf also centres her brand’s storytelling around African culture and identity.

When we talk about style and beauty in Nigeria, not many people get it as right as Chioma Ikokwu, aka ChiomaGood Hair.

In popular culture, blue is often associated with boys, while pink is typically linked to girls. That’s why during baby showers, when the gender of the baby is revealed, it’s usually blue for boys and pink for girls. When we were little, this colour dichotomy was seen in the things our parents bought for us, which would either lead girls to like or hate the colour pink.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Nancy.E.Isime (@nancyisimeofficial) When I saw this picture of Nancy Isime in a pink blazer and an all-pink look, complete with a pink bow, I thought of how the colour was so feminine, yet she wore it to a business meeting to seal a partnership. Many women may want to wear black, grey, or brown for corporate and corporate casual events because pink may seem too loud or too feminine, or they would think they would look like a Barbie doll, and no one would take them seriously. But save for a job interview, where you need to look as neutral as possible, wearing pink is actually a good thing. It means you can take up space, shatter glass ceilings, make inventions, and […] The post The Power of Pink: Why Wearing Pink Is A Bold Statement of Feminine Power  appeared first on BN Style.

Wigs are lifesavers! Whether you’re too busy for a new style or simply taking a break from your braids, having a selection of fabulous wigs means you can look amazing every day. Plus, you can change your wig based on the event you’re attending. For instance, a bone straight wig or a coloured wig works best for parties, instead of a bob wig.

Gone are the days when we had to skip wearing that dress because our regular bras just didn’t cut it. Boob tape is the fashion hack that’s been saving cleavage, creating lift, and making every dress look flawless. But here’s the thing, not all boob tape applications are created equal. Depending on the style of your outfit, you need the right taping method for both comfort and a seamless finish. Here’s your guide to taping techniques based on 7 different types of outfits: The Deep Plunge Neckline (V-Neck/Plunge Dress) For dresses with a deep plunge or V-neckline, the vertical lift method works wonders. Cut three to four long strips of boob tape for each breast. Starting from under the bust, pull each strip up vertically and stick it firmly over your shoulder or higher up on your chest to create lift. For a natural look, slightly angle the strips toward the centre of your chest. This technique lifts and secures the breasts while leaving the centre of the chest bare, perfect for that daring neckline. Always start by applying nipple covers to protect sensitive areas before taping. The Strapless Dress When wearing a strapless dress, go for the bandeau wrap […] The post How to Wear Boob Tape for Every Kind of Dress: 7 Game-Changing Techniques appeared first on BN Style.

Ever used a comb on your hair, just to see it falling out like you just used a barber’s clipper? Experiencing hair shedding, whether your hair is natural, relaxed or transitioning, often indicates a need for protein treatment. Since hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein vital for its structure, texture, and growth, protein treatments are a highly effective solution for rejuvenating damaged hair experiencing protein loss. According to studies published in the National Library of Medicine, while a consistent intake of protein is needed for healthy hair, insufficient protein in your diet, frequent use of chemicals and heat styling tools can deplete your hair’s essential protein. This often results in hair that feels dry, looks dull, and is prone to breakage. Protein treatments are hightly recommended by dermatologists to help minimise breakage and bring back your hair’s vitality .   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by G A R S H E L L (@garshellm) Here’s a straightforward, nourishing protein recipe you can make at home This home-made protein treatement by napturally curly has all the essential natural ingredients your hair needs.

If your makeup tends to melt off before lunchtime or starts slipping after a few hours, chances are it’s not your makeup products,  it’s your skin prep. Great makeup starts with great skin preparation, and we’re letting you in on the full routine to help your makeup stay fresh, flawless, and longer-lasting. Step 1: Cleanse (2 minutes) First things first, you want a clean canvas. Start with a gentle cleanser to wash away excess oil, sweat, or leftover skincare. This helps your products layer better and prevents clogged pores later. Step 2: Tone (2 minutes) Next, sweep on a balancing toner. This helps to tighten pores, balance your skin’s pH, and prep your skin to fully absorb the next products you’re going to apply. Don’t skip, it’s the secret to that smooth, makeup-ready base.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Beauty (@bellanaijabeauty) Step 3: Hydrate (5 minutes) Now, it’s time to bring in the hydration. A lightweight serum, especially one with hyaluronic acid, will plump your skin, reduce fine lines, and lock in moisture. Hydrated skin = smoother makeup application. Step 4: De-Puff & Cool (5 minutes) This is the game-changer: cooling tools. You […] The post The Secret to Makeup That Stays Put? It’s All in the Prep appeared first on BN Style.

Inspired by the album Words and Music by the iconic British band Saint Etienne, Udiahgebi’s latest collection of the same name draws from the deep well of memory, music, and the passage of time. Much like the music that inspired it, Saint Etienne is a coming-of-age story told from the POV of a nostalgic narrator who acknowledges the uncertainty of time but her commitment to living through it and seeing every bit of the world and life unapologetically. The silhouettes rely on versatility ranging from garments cut for ease and beauty of movement that still highlight form with grown subtlety and also our signature second skin fit. Utilizing fabrics that travel well; lush crepes, denim, jersey, and silks “Saint Etienne” is a grown offering that tries to communicate the power of effortless confidence, and sophistication while still taking into consideration the feel of the garments on the wearer.

In a time when fashion is increasingly about storytelling, few designers are telling stories as boldly or as beautifully as Benard Samuel. With its latest collection, the Nigerian fashion house once again proves that African fabrics are not just heritage, they are haute.

Each piece is a deliberate conversation between past and present, rooted in African tradition but tailored for the global stage. The Akwete Set: Woven Legacy Paying homage to the storied Akwete weaving tradition from southeastern Nigeria, the Akwete Set is a standout. Traditionally handwoven by women, the fabric carries generations of symbolism. Benard Samuel reinterprets this legacy through sharp tailoring and thoughtful design, transforming the cloth into a structured yet fluid ensemble that feels both ceremonial and street-ready. The Oge Ihekando Set: Spice and Sunshine Vibrant in yellow and red, the Oge Ihekando Set (translated as “Time of Beauty”) is a radiant tribute to African vibrancy and joy.

Nigerian fashion house Bibi Lawrence introduces its latest ready-to-wear collection, AGU & Other Stories, a poetic journey through identity, memory, and the modern African woman’s silhouette. Creative Director, Bibi Eleh, draws inspiration from her girlhood in Lagos, weaving nostalgic memories with contemporary African artistry. The result: a vibrant yet soulful collection that feels both deeply rooted and fashion-forward. At the heart of AGU & Other Stories is a custom print designed by Bibi herself, reimagining iconic Nigerian symbols, the regal Isiagu and the ancient Uli markings into a bold visual language of femininity and power. These motifs are layered onto silk, mikado, and mesh, sculpted into structured bodices, fluid skorts, ruched dresses, and voluminous silhouettes. “This collection is for the girl who remembers her mother’s wrapper, the sound of evening prayers, and the rhythm of danfo buses on her way to school, fetching water across the street while singing the latest afrobeat song. It’s an ode to the resilience, softness, and audacity of the African woman”, says Bibi. Shot in Lagos, the campaign captures the spirit of storytelling through cinematic visuals and intentional styling—an editorial-worthy blend of past and present. Every piece tells a story: tactile, intentional, unforgettable.

Every few years, the natural hair movement declares another victory. A brand launches a “curl-defining” product line. A TV ad features a model with a beautiful afro. A celebrity goes makeup-free and shows off her “authentic self.” But somehow, for Black women with 4C hair, the tightest, kinkiest, most coiled texture, the war for full acceptance always ends in a quiet, weary stalemate. Because let’s be honest: when the world says “natural hair,” it usually means “curly, but not too kinky.” It means a soft halo of ringlets, a manageable puff, something that still fits into the mainstream’s idea of beautiful, just with a little edge. 4C hair? That’s where the celebration often stops. That’s where the applause turns into silence, or worse, subtle shade. A woman on Twitter recently shared how she lost a content creation gig because the brand asked, “Why is your hair like that?” Her hair was in a sleek ponytail. No frizz. No mess. Just neat, natural, and even relaxed. That question, delivered with a smile but soaked in bias, said everything. It wasn’t about professionalism. It was about comfort. Their comfort. Not hers. And that’s the heart of it. Every time Black women with […] The post Why the Natural Hair Conversation Always Ends in a Stalemate for Black Women with 4C Hair appeared first on BN Style.

Ever stopped to think about why African hair looks so different from most other hair types around the world? It’s a pretty fascinating topic with a deep history. Afro-textured hair is truly special. You see it primarily among African populations, but also in parts of Asia and Oceania. What makes it stand out is its incredible thickness and those tight, spiral-shaped curls that give it such a dense, full look. This unique hair type isn’t just random; it’s deeply rooted in our genetics. It’s a universal trait among people of African descent, consistently passed down through every generation. Its evolutionary journey is also quite compelling. According to numerous publications like the British Journal of Dermatology, historians suggest that Afro-textured hair first emerged on the African continent among early humans. Some experts even believe that Afro-textured hair might have been the original hair texture for all modern humans.  Imagine them living under the intense African sun for hours on end. Evolutionary biologists propose that this hair developed as a brilliant adaptive response: it protected the head from the sun’s harsh UV rays while simultaneously allowing crucial airflow to keep the scalp cool.   View this post on Instagram   A post […] The post Why is African Hair So Unique?

Let’s be honest: skincare can get expensive. Between the influencers pushing six figure priced serums and the drugstore shelves promising the same results for less, it’s hard to know when to spend big and when to save smart. The truth? Not every step in your skincare routine needs a luxury price tag  but there are a few categories where paying a bit more is worth every penny. Here’s your ultimate splurge vs. save skincare guide so you can glow up and stay savvy. 1. SPLURGE: Sunscreen (SPF) This is your skin’s first line of defence. Cheap sunscreens can leave a grey cast, clog pores, or feel greasy, especially on darker skin tones. A good SPF should blend effortlessly, feel lightweight, and offer broad-spectrum protection (UVA + UVB). If you wear SPF daily (which you should), it’s worth investing in one you actually enjoy applying. 2. SAVE: Body Oils & Butters Your body doesn’t need the same expensive actives as your face. Basic hydration, think shea butter, almond oil, or glycerin, gets the job done beautifully. 3. SPLURGE: Serums (Especially Actives) Serums are where the real magic happens, think Vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and retinol. With serums, the formulation matters: […] The post Budget vs. Bougie: Skincare Products to Splurge or Save On (and Why It Matters) appeared first on BN Style.

It’s true, wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of getting older, but no one wants to speed that up! While there are countless creams and serums on the market, the truth is, your daily habits play a huge role in how quickly those signs of ageing appear. If you’re relying solely on products without addressing your lifestyle, you might not see the results you’re hoping for. So, here are some simple, everyday ways to help keep those wrinkles and fine lines at bay for as long as possible: Sleeping On Your Side Believe it or not, the way you sleep can impact the formation of wrinkles. “Sleep wrinkles” are usually temporary, but consistently favouring one side of your face can lead to more permanent changes in skin texture over time. To avoid this, try sleeping on your back. If that’s too difficult, simply changing positions frequently can help. Another tip? Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk one. Silk creates less friction, which means less tugging and pulling on your skin. Avoid Smoking Smoking is a major culprit when it comes to wrinkles and can even increase your risk of skin cancers, especially when combined with sun exposure.

When Erica Nlewedim stepped out in this little black dress or LBD, with subtle embellishments on the cleavage, we were instantly reminded of the outfit’s timelessness.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Erica Ngozi Nlewedim (@ericanlewedim) The little black dress has consistently remained a popular fashion choice. Its origins are often attributed to Coco Chanel, who introduced it in 1926 as a ready-to-wear option for afternoon cocktails. Since then, it has become a staple across various eras. While its form and shape may evolve, the appeal of the little black dress remains unchanged. The little black dress is also incredibly versatile and suitable for a wide range of events, from formal gatherings to casual outings. Its ease of styling may also explain its timeliness; you don’t have to overthink which shoes or bags go with it. Erica wore hers with a black Chanel flap bag and silver strap heels.

It’s the year of jorts and capris! These pieces were extremely popular in the 1990s and 2000s, and now they are making a comeback. Here in Nigeria, it’s summer all year round, so having these two go-to pieces in your wardrobe is a must for comfortable, casual outings.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Nneka Ibeabuchi. (@africanjawn)   Now, while both are great for warm weather, jorts and capris are actually quite different and can even be thought of as the opposite of each other. Jorts are your classic denim shorts, usually with a relaxed, loose fit. Capri pants, on the other hand, are typically made from stretchy fabrics and fit a bit more tightly. How to Style Jorts   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Ayo Fierce (@ayo_fierce) Styling jorts is easy because they are usually oversized. If you want a cool, baggy look, just throw on an oversized shirt or top. If you prefer to add a bit more shape, a fitted tank top works perfectly to balance out the proportions.

Standing in front of the mirror, trying to decide whether today calls for gold hoops or silver studs, is a familiar ritual for many of us. While it might seem like a matter of mood or outfit, there is actually a little more science and a lot more personal magic to it. If you’re a Black woman with melanin-blessed skin, understanding which jewellery tones complement your complexion can make a world of difference in how your accessories enhance your overall look. So how do you figure out whether gold or silver is truly your metal? It starts with knowing your undertone. Unlike your surface skin colour, which can range from caramel to cocoa to deep espresso, your undertone refers to the subtle hues underneath your skin. These can be warm, cool, or neutral. One simple way to check your undertone is by looking at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear green, you are likely warm-toned. If they lean more blue or purple, you are probably cool-toned. If it is hard to tell or a mix of both, you are likely neutral. Another clue? Think about which colours tend to flatter you more.
