Even if you haven’t heard of London-born Shingai Shoniwa before, chances are you’ve seen her stylistic choices and gorgeous head of natural hair floating around the web. As front woman of the Noisettes, this Zimbabwean beauty is known for being quite adventurous when it comes to both her musical performances and her wardrobe. Let’s face it, details like feathered shoulders are kind of hard to miss.

Shoniwa gravitates toward clothing that shows off her small waist, extensive headpiece collection, and her love of bright colors. Yet, what we love most about Shingai’s look is that she manages to embrace and exude multiple style vibes simultaneously. This is no easy feat, just ask any of the poorly dressed celebs included on this list. Still, Miss Shoniwa combines afrocentric, futuristic, and feminine elements flawlessly! We considered deeming her “trendy”as well, but that word would be an understatement for a woman that sets trends, rather than following them.

View our slideshow as we praise some of Shingai Shoniwa’s most visually pleasing looks.  Just keep an open mind, and prepare to be inspired…

    I’m really glad you posted this. I love her music, but I’ve never really seen pictures of her. Funny too, that there are pictures of Rihanna every day, and she can’t really dress that well, but this girl is a natural. And she’s beautiful too!

    shingai has been a goddess, but i really don’t feel her style is “afrocentric” …understandably almost anyone who doesn’t perm her hair will be called that regardless. afrocentric style is what solange attempts to have… just my opinion.
