Did you see her on the cover of Marie Claire?

Lupita Covers Marie Claire

 Fashion seems to love her and it follows her everywhere. She loves that we all think she is gorgeous and surprisingly, she was not a follower of fashion and she does not dress to impress. She credits her Stylist Micaela Erlanger for her flawless red carpet fashion sense.

Black is beautiful indeed

CUTEST PAIR

They are eye candy, fashionable on and off screen and they look good together - as a pair and you can even picture them as a couple in real life - the matches made in heaven kind of couples.

Their witty hilarious charming conversation and on screen chemistry keeps you glued to the screen. We love seeing them together and we sit waiting for the next show.Here are some of the most popular unforgettable TV duos. So which is your favorite?


Yolo TV Show Hosts Lola and Thierry



They are young, energetic,ambitious and full of life. Lola Hannigan 22, is a runway/commercial model and an up coming actress. She has done commercials for Prestige Magazine & Nestle in India and Fair and Lovely in Lebanon. She also appeared as a guest actor in the popular TV Show, Mali. On her modelling career,she has walked down the runway for Strut it Africa in 2012 and 2013. 20 year old Thierry Maxime on the other hand is a self taught Violinist and has played for the President of South Korea in 2005. Together, they bring you an energy packed show. 

Tusker Project Fame Show Hosts Dr. Mitch Egwang' & Joey Muthengi




They keep you entertained with their hilarious exchanges as they pose as frenemies on stage.


Tujuane's Yvonne and Malonza




 Former BBA representative Malonza and Yvonne have got an on-screen chemistry that will always keep you tuned. Their fashion sense is also amazing . 

Co - hosts of Mashariki Mix Sarah Hassan and Nick Mutuma


Possibly the world's cutest pair!Beauteous Sarah Hassan, who is also the Host of Citizen TV's Wedding Show and actor turned singer Nick Mutuma are good to look at. We refer to their kind as 'easy on the eye'. And easy-on-the-eye they are indeed, because you can sit and stare at them the whole day long.

NTV's Larry Madowo and Victoria Rubadiri


Who said watching news has to be boring due to formal, rigid and terse presentations? Larry and Victoria always make room for light moments as they deliver the most comprehensive news on TV. Do you remember the day that Larry asked Victoria to stand, calling her his sweetheart and then he presented her with a Swiss Chocolate? I bet the same query will also linger in your mind.

We also enjoyed watching Joyce Omondi and Njugush every sunday morning on Rauka and Anita and Nderu and Antoneosoul every Saturday on Teen's Republic. Joyce Omondi went abroad to advance her education and Anita Nderu landed a job at Capital FM as a news anchor. Sheila and Mitch Egwang were also fun to watch!

Other than the glamor,passion,drama and the good looking cast,there is no denying that the fashion on Single Ladies also kept us glued to the screen. We all could not wait to see what Keisha, Raquel, Felicia and April are wearing each time they graced our TV screens. The styling was so on point. Thanks to the very talented Anthony L. Williams. Below is a recap of the some of the Best Fashion Moments of the show, that we are going to miss dearly,now that the series has been cancelled.


April, Raquel and Keisha dressed in Sexy Black. 
We  were wowed by April's Bow Bandeau , Raquels Ruffled Bodycon Black Dress and Keisha's Sleeveless Pencil Dress complete with a pair of White Gloves.



The Black/White Bold Striped Cropped Top and Pencil Skirt by Nora Allese is striking.


The wave like cut out on Val's Vintage Thierry Mugler Dress is just amazing!


Val's White Off Shoulder Notched Cropped Top is to die for.


Keisha's red sexy skirt is a show stopper.


Keisha in her element. Leopard print Pencil skirt, her wardrobe staple paired with a lime green blouse.


The color blocking trend was well represented on the show.



Val's hair burn, chic sheer top and the little black bow compliments her pretty and preppy ensemble


This ensemble is simply breathtaking. I fell in love with Keisha's houndstooth blouse immediately when I saw it. The gold accessories and the orange pencil skirt blend perfectly.


Raquel's Tutu Midi-Skirt that she allegedly purchased straight from the runway is every girl's dream. I also loved April's Black/White Clutch and Keisha's flirty blouse.

It only takes a bold and confident lady to wear her hair short and natural. Lupita's black natural trimmed hair, which blends with her chocolate dark flawless skin is her signature look. She is the reason why many black ladies are opting to go natural.

She is the game changer in the fashion industry in Kenya. She has a lady-like charm and style that rekindles the thoughts of  Summer Romance. She is very feminine & girly in her dressing hence embraces feminine prints and florals, knits, ruffles, bows, fringes and polka.

He treads where only few men dare to step as far as fashion and style is concerned. He has embraced the Color Blocking Trend. Not forgetting the slim ties and the fact that his clothes MUST fit perfectly.

Gospel Singer Emmy Kosgey # Contemporary


Popularly known for her hit song "Taulet Nelel" and her recent lavish marriage to a wealthy Nigerian Man. Other than the passionate and energetic on stage performances, we also love her oufits that are a mixture of the Maasai Regalia and Modern Trends. She also loves bold African Accessories. 

Singer MDQ # Dramatic and Unconventional



The singer of the popular hits like ''Nai ni ya nani'', has got this bad girl look oozing out of her.Starting from her distinct conspicuous Mo hawk ish hairdo, distinct make up and her dramatic attire. Its a rather bold than a bad girl look though on second thoughts.

Gospel Singer & Kubamba TV Show Host Kambua #Girly Girl


The sweet mellow voiced gospel singer is a Girlie Girl.The big flower head corsages and her beautifuly desigsigned ankara and kitenge pieces are her trade mark. 

Orie Rogo Manduli #Confident & Dramatic


Yap..you got it right, its the headgear or is it the head wrap. When its comes to adorning the head wrap,she stands unbeaten.To top it all her confidence as she adorns this beautiful regalia gives you a hint that there is all this and much more.What better way to love yourself!

That is it for today. Of course there are many more that I have not included. But point is that its important to have a signature style that suits your personality and also aligns with your career and work environment. "And always remember that you are unique just like everyone else"...
Have a Happy Weekend. Chat soon. Xo Xo!
