In honour of International Women's Day [1] on March 8, six-year-old Leah-Victoria Omishore (purple) and her friend Blessing (green) decided to dress up as two of the women who inspire them most: Lupita Nyong'o and Americanah author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. [2]
"On behalf of mini Lupita and mini Chimamanda, I want to say a big thank you to everyone for the love and support on my last two posts," wrote Leah-Victoriah's mom Funke Mapaderun, who handmade each stunning pantsuit out of curtains she bought at a thrift store. "I definitely had the perfect girls to model/accomplish my mission. The girls had so much fun playing Chimamanda and Lupita and were so excited to see their pictures when we were done."
Lupita, who was wearing a Imad Eduso Tiffany Pants Set [3] ($185) in her original photo, was so impressed when she saw Leah-Victoria and Blessing's outfits that she had to post the pictures on her own Instagram account. "Nailed it!! So adorable," the Sulwe author [4] captioned her post sharing their adorable looks. Lupita also shared videos of the girls strutting their stuff and cheers-ing to a job well done. "Here's to strong women," Funke added. "May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Happy International Women's Day!"
