This 39-year-old First Lady of Cameroon, Chantal Biya,takes Lady Gaga to the White House. Chantal is known for her big hair and crazy getups, and actually trendsparks lots of looks in Cameroon. The Huffington Post reported:
In the past, she’s mentioned Dior and Chanel as a few of her favorite European labels, while the traditional African outfits she dons are custom-made, designed, and sewn by tailors … In Cameroon her wardrobe has made her so popular she routinely launches trends and has a hairstyle, the Chantal Biya, named after hair.
I mean, who meets the pope in a pink lace and sequined dress? She does, apparently. What do you think of this diva’s style?
