The 2017 Miss Malaika beauty pageant is underway, searching for the most beautiful girl, intelligent, eloquent, courageous, with other unique attributes to snag the prestigious queenly crown alongside other eye-watering prices at the grand finale. While 16 ladies have already made it to the Malaika House after a rigorous selection process, their deep dive into the world of African prints is something we can’t afford to ignore. In fact, everything is so African — from the host Berla Mundi who consistently dish out incredible Ankara styles, to judges and then to the beautiful contestants, these people are embracing Ankara fashion wholeheartedly and yes, we love it too.
