Wunmi Mosaku Style: Bright, Bold, and Beautiful At the BAFTAs

If there’s one thing we can count on Wunmi Mosaku to do, it’s to slay in a bold color moment. Her 2022 BAFTA red carpet look was an example of this color play.

Dressed in a vibrant yellow gown, she reminded us all why melanin skin and bold colors are a match made in heaven. The color screamed sunshine and joy.

The t-shirt-style Marc Jacobs dress was effortless yet impactful, featuring draped fabric and a thigh-high slit that gave just the right amount of drama. It was relaxed, regal, and radiant all at once. Pairing it with black pointed-toe heels and a metallic clutch, she let the dress do all the talking—while still giving us elegance.

Her hair and beauty included a sleek braided updo and dewy skin.

Wunmi Mosaku Style: Let’s get into her African Print Moment at Sundance

Wunmi’s 2020 Sundance Film Festival look also had us beaming with pride and saying, “Yes, Sis!” The actress stepped onto the red carpet in a patterned wrap dress with special details. Showcasing her heritage, her dress featured African textiles in orange, brown, navy, and tan.

The piece – crafted in Ghana – felt modern and cultural with its funky neckline and slightly flared three-quarter-length sleeves. The dress’ wrap design also complemented Wunmi’s shape and was ultra-feminine. Instead of over-accessorizing, she kept it minimal and classy, letting the beauty of the print shine through.

Wunmi’s red carpet style is intentional – and inspiring. She uses high-profile moments to celebrate her accomplishments and those of the culture. Every time she steps out, she’s serving us culture, confidence, and couture.
