9) Dominique Folloroux-Ouattara (Ivory Coast)
Even being 61 years old, Dominique makes a beautiful First Lady – among the most beautiful in the whole world, in fact. She is Algerian by birth and is a businesswoman. She was the CEO of the vast corporate of French Beauty Services. However, after becoming First Lady, she dropped all her previous businesses and dedicated herself to her new status.
10) Margaret Gakuo Kenyatta (Kenya)
Margaret is the wife of Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, making her Kenya’s First Lady. She is 50 years of age and still look elegant even with whitish hair. She likes to remain simple as well as decent and not only looks that way but also presents herself in a similar manner. She is quite reserved and some might say shy, but that only adds to her beauty.
i think you should do again this article cause check on Tanzanian First lady, she is suppose to be in the List, But i dont know what categories where you concetrating on
Maybe she does not have a bleached skin, cause those that are featured mostly look like they have bleached their skins bar those that are naturally lighter in skin complexion. Awful article.
Lousy article, many have been left out because the a dark skined and realy potray African beauty. Even the wife of Zambian late president (passed away 3 days ago) Chirsten is a gorgeous woman with a captivating smile who happens to be a medical doctor and runs a cancer awareness, prevention and treatment organisation
Rubbish. They only chose the First Ladies with light skin complexion that is natural or lightened using skin bleaching products. Author must have a white complex enforcing all the wrong African stereotypes.
I was actually wondering when I read the article, if all the African first ladies were white. It would have been better to show all the different types of beauty we have in Africa.
Exactly my point. The author of this article reeks of someone with a deep inferiority complex.
Stupid article reeling with low self-esteem of African beauty!!!
What about NIGERIA PRESIDENT’S WIFE
Dear Kade Sara (author of article) rewrite this article and take into consideration social responsibility, and intellect forget about outward beauty. by the way what is Number 3 doing here.
I tank the top section 10 to choose my mother and mother for Angola
Frankly it’s a generous she knows life is like the other we liked a lot Ana Paola do Santos
Welcome To Morocco
Firstly this article looks like it was written by a high school student, poor grammar, ineffective language and very superficial; ‘still look elegant even with whitish hairs’…’they dress and look expensive’. Hilarious…
Why are you only focusing on their physical attributes? Who cares? A first lady could do a lot more than go shopping and slapping on makeup, especially a first lady from a poor country in need of female inspiration and access to resources I’m sure most of these woman could provide, even if it involves whispering sweet nothings into the presidential ear. I dislike that African first ladies are often just trophy wives, and are usually just seen and not heard. We need black, female Hilary Clintons and Angela Merkels and more Michelle Obamas who make a real difference and contribution to their respective countries, rather than a contribution to their country’s deficit and their own closets. I’m not inspired at all.
P.S. just because a woman looks eccentric or has has clothes custom-made, it does not mean she’s fashionable or stylish. Gaddafi had his clothes custom-made, probably because no one in the respectable fashion arena would want to commit career suicide by creating such clothing. There is a line between kitsh, frou frou and chic, elegant. Peace.
why is Grace Mugabe not in this list?
A clown who thinks that being beautiful is to have a white skin wrote this article.
How dare you leave out Mrs. Museveni. She’s a natural beauty!
This article needs to be rewritten. It lacks research.
Kenya’s First Lady Margaret Kenyatta made history as the first ever First Lady to run a marathon (The London Marathon) for her cause to prevent infant and maternal deaths.
She was also the first First Lady ever to be awarded the UN Person of the Year Award – 2014.
Please give these women the respect they deserve. They are more than just “whitish hair”.

wondering what the writer classified as beauty especially in the African context.
