We've come a long way from the May 2022 Fenty Beauty launch, where Kenyan celebs were called out for their fashion fails.

At the time, content creator Shorn Arwa went viral for her humorous criticism of local Influencers, who, according to her did not match up to their Nigerian counterparts who also attended a Fenty launch that month.

The funny content creator scathingly called out singer Nikita Kering, Maria star Yasmin Said, Youtuber Milly Chebby and even the beloved actress Sarah Hassan, among others.

Early this week, our favourite stars showed up and showed out, dressed to the nines for the launch of Netflix series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This time around, Kenyan influencers proved that they can step up their red-carpet game and impress with their fashion choices.

The event, which took place in Cape Town, South Africa saw notable socialites from Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and Tanzania walk the red carpet in stunning outfits of the Georgian era theme.

Nigerian Blog Bella Naija reports that the six-part series is a prequel spin-off of Netflix's popular series "Bridgerton" and features a star-studded cast including Golda Rosheuvel, India Amarteifio, Adjoa Andoh, Arsema Thomas, Ruth Gemmell, Connie Jenkins-Greig, Hugh Sachs, Sam Clemmett, Michelle Fairley, Corey Mylchreest, Richard Cunningham, Tunji Kasim, Rob Maloney, Cyril Nri, Katie Brayben, Keir Charles and Freddie Dennis.

Kenyan socialites who attended the event include singer Nikita Kering, content creator Azziad Nasenya, actress Catherine Kamau, Joy Kendi and comedian Mammito Eunice.
