First ladies the world over remain the epitome of elegance, beauty and power. Even though they are seen to be less influential on matters of politics, these women are feared to have the most influence on their husbands.
Not only do they make good use of their wifely prowess but they also set the stage for fashion and feminine beauty in their respective countries.
The case of Africa is no different! Our first ladies, past and present, have always been remembered for their choice of fashion, particularly on special national or political occasions. In fact, you dare not look more elegant than an African first lady during one of these events.
That being said, consider these seven elegant first ladies of Africa. Just the sight of them is going to cause your jaw to drop!

This first lady above the age of 50, makes us know that age is never a barrier to glamour and beauty! She was thrust into the limelight after her husband, Uhuru Kenyatta was inaugurated as the president of Kenya in 2013.

Ana Paula dos Santos of Angola
The wife of current President of Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos, this beautiful first lady and mother of three became actively involved in the support of landmine victims, founding the Lwini Fund for social solidarity. This charity is dedicated to the support of civilians, particularly women and children. dos Santos is best respected as the mother with a huge heart and sharp legal mind.
Aisha Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria
