When Beauty Tukura steps out, the world definitely takes notes. The reality TV star, entrepreneur, and fashion muse has redefined what it means to wear black.  If there’s one color that never goes out of style, it’s black but not everyone knows how to wear it like a statement just as Beauty does.  From red carpets to luxury brand events, she’s been serving look-after looks, and each one proves that black is a luxurious fashion statement.

Let’s take a high-fashion stroll through five unforgettable moments where she owned the black-colored attire and showed us all how to turn simplicity into stunning looks.

1. Black Lace

Beauty graced an exclusive evening event wearing a custom piece by Julyet Peters, a black sculpted dress that turned heads and stole breaths. The dress featured intricate lacework and a structured bodice that hugged her curves well designed for the goddess herself. She paired the look with a sparkling clutch and pointed heels, letting the detailing of the dress take center stage. Styled by Dahmola, the entire costume was breathtaking. 

2. Black Velvet Suit

In a striking editorial moment, Beauty stepped into a tailored black velvet pantsuit that screamed CEO energy and redefined corporate fashion. The deep-black outfit projected authority, while a pair of neon yellow stilettos added just the right amount of audacity. With her black Telfar bag in hand and flawless glam, this look was purely designed for the boardroom. 

3. Liquid Satin 

Right here, Beauty stunned in a satin gown by Mazelle Studio as she Attended a celebration hosted by Moët & Chandon. With a ruched bodice, draped details, and a corset silhouette, the gown moved like liquid silk and shimmered under ambient light. Creatively paired with gold jewelry and voluminous blonde curls, the look captured the glamour of luxury evening wear while maintaining confidence, sparkle, and a toast to elegance.

4. Chopsticks

Leave it to Beauty to turn a simple styling choice into an entire fashion moment. For a themed shoot that fused modern glam with cultural nods, she wore a black off-shoulder number by VicnatEng, wrapped in a silky shawl, her hair styled into elevated buns adorned with chopsticks. She complimented her dress by adorning herself with minimalist gold jewelry and a glossy makeup look. 

5. YSL & the Art of the Cutout

To round things off, Beauty lit up the carpet at the YSL Beauté event in a jet-black sequin cut-out dress that dared to bear in all the right ways. The glossy texture of the gown shimmered under the lights, and the daring cutouts gave it that edge only she could pull off so effortlessly. She paired it with a sleek bob and a black clutch to match, and her signature sultry stare. 

 Black will always be a mainstay in fashion, but through Beauty Tukura’s lens, it’s more than a default choice. It becomes a visual statement, a reflection of strength, and elegance. So, if you ever find yourself wondering how to slay in black, just look out for Beauty Tukura.

It’s a versatile and timeless fashion piece that can be found in literally every wardrobe around the world.  It is so versatile that there is denim for every occasion. Whether it is a distressed jacket, a mini skirt or a maxi skirt, there is always denim for every occasion. 

All these notwithstanding, despite the popularity of denims, it is quite a daunting experience trying to get one that suits your body type. What fits one might not look good on the other as no two bodies are the same. 

Understand Your Body Type. 

To be able to style your denims to perfection, it is important to know your body type. Body types are categorized into: 

Hourglass: this is a body type with balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.

Apple (Inverted Triangle): this body type has broader upper body with narrower hips.

Rectangle: here the bust, waist, and hips are fairly the same measurement. It has fewer curves and is also known as the athletic body type. 

Plus-size: this body type has fuller figures across various proportions.

1. Hourglass Shape

You should wear: 

High-rise jeans: These hug your waist and define your shape.

Bootcut and flared jeans: These mirror your curves and elongate your legs.

Stretch denim: this offers support and flexibility.

You should wear: 

High-rise or mid-rise straight-leg jeans: this offers tummy control
