Okay, no doubt, it’s a fact that African Fashion is not just a trend, it’s here to stay!<\/p>\n

Also, there’s nothing like celebrities putting designs from the Diaspora on the map.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, we’re putting a hot light on the FAB celebrities that stepped out in African influenced designs! \u00a0View them below.<\/p>\n

1. Lupita Nyong’o<\/strong> at the BEFTA Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

IT woman Lupita Nyong’o\u00a0<\/b>had to be placed first! \u00a0To the BEFTA Awards<\/strong>, she wore an emerald green Dior<\/strong> gown with gold accents placed on the waist and wrists, paired with a dark green smokey eye to bring out her chocolate skin. \u00a0LOVED it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Dorothy Nyong’o\u00a0<\/strong>at the BAFTA Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being her daughter’s date to the BAFTA Awards<\/strong> wasn’t the only thing that was cute; her jacket and dress combination created by AFWNY<\/strong> designer Kenya’s Kiko Romeo<\/strong> also stole our hearts. \u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a03.<\/strong> Emma Roberts<\/strong>\u00a0at the Golden Globe Awards<\/b><\/p>\n

We absolutely love how this amazing\u00a0Lanvin<\/strong>\u00a0(Moroccan designer)\u00a0<\/strong>gown fit Emma<\/strong>. \u00a0We like the classic look that she went for. \u00a0I feel as though it’s her best becaue all of the minor details really bring out her natural beauty. \u00a0From the dress silhouette to her hair being pulled back into a simple style, well done.<\/p>\n

4. Yandy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love & Hip-Hop Star Yandy Smith\u00a0<\/strong>stepped out in a\u00a0Baaba Christian Couture<\/strong> high-low dress that shouts “I’m Here!” \u00a0It showed a little too much cleavage for me but I do love how she filled it out! \u00a0

5. Kelly Rowland<\/strong><\/p>\n

While in Lagos, diva\u00a0Kelly Rowland\u00a0<\/strong>slipped into a dress from Fashpa.com<\/b>. \u00a0The dress (Oleku) is Fashpa.com<\/strong>‘s modern take on the Buba (a traditional dress for women in some African cultures). \u00a0We like it and Kelly wore it well! \u00a0However, I would have liked to see her wear this outfit with long hair instead of a bob cut. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
