#WeekendWardrobe: Pull on a Pencil Skirt like Beverly Naya, Beyoncé & Osas Ighodaro

If you think pencil skirts are simply just for corporate occasions, think again – because the figure-friendly skirt is actually a must-have for any occasion heading your way this weekend, whether it’s night, day or any time in-between.

Flattering for all shapes and sizes, the mid-length garment offers a feminine, subtly sexy, streamlined silhouette – something even the fussiest of fashionistas can’t argue with. And – as proved by it’s appearance on stars from Beyonce to Kim and Kelly Rowland – it’s even a hit with the hottest celebrities;

Beyoncé (or should we say Queen B), who often keeps her fans updated via Instagram, uploaded a picture of herself doing the ‘boho chic’ thing, and rocking (you guessed it) a pencil skirt. The beautiful singer worked a colourful, chevron-print version from Topshop, which hugged her infamous curves and was complimented via an Aztec crop top. We love that she wore a hughstreet brand instead of designer wear, and off to the shops we go…

Another addition to the celebrity pencil skirt crew is British-born Nollywood actress Beverly Naya, who looked sexy and sassy in white for a recent photoshoot. Paired with a red, satin, detailed crop top, heeled sandals and bold red lips, she gives us a modern day pin-up look that’s easy to replicate.

And lastly, we have another member of the Nollywood family, Osas Ighodaro, spied looking fly in her figure-hugger. The gorgeous actress and former Miss Black USA rocked a silver pencil skirt with black side panels to the launch party for season 2 of Ndani TV’s The Juice. We can’t get over how stunning she is or how much we want steal her look.
