Over time, the Ankara fabric has grown a massive reputation from a fabric that people would rather not be caught dead rocking on the red carpet to one that has now scored respect even beyond the African borders.
Celebrities are no longer afraid or scared of public backlash when they choose to appear in the authentic African fabric that is nothing short of beautiful when properly sewn.

In fact, within the shores of Africa, the ankara fabric has evolved from that one fabric that is only considered when people think of themed outfits for their parties (Owambe) to one that people wear to their places of work or casual dates.
Interestingly, the versatility of the fabric has also afforded it the opportunity to make powerful statements either as fashion accessories or interior decoration pieces.
To celebrate the ankara fabric, Legit.ng highlights three fashion-forward Nigerian female celebrities who are known to never miss when it comes to being perfect ambassadors of authentic African material.
