With her personal style described as "Bold and beautiful" Adichie chose a statement print pieces with her natural hair coiffed in a tamed updo on top of her head wearing soft glowing makeup look and bare glossy lips for the edit.

Her TEDx talk “We Should All Be Feminists” has achieved special pop-culture prominence: Beyoncé sampled lines in her 2013 song “Flawless,” and a model wearing a T-shirt with the speech’s title walked the runway at Dior’s spring 2017 show" Vanity Fair describes her.
