Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.

Here’s six lessons we’ve learnt so far.

1. When it comes to matching fabrics, your best bet is mixing complementary colors. You’ve just got to love the length of that skirt.

2. Ankara prints look amazing when dressed fitted with monochrome outfits. This white and blue ensemble looks simple yet classy enough to rock to high end events.

3. The shorter your Ankara dress the higher the heels. Not only will they make your legs look longer, high heels will also boost your stance and walk when you strut the streets.

4. Again, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Switch your jacket with a Maasai Kikoi for the cold.

5. It doesn’t have to be clothes. Accessories can change a classy urban look into a cultural design if done well. Check Joy out, ideas for your traditional wedding?

6. You can rock as much strings as you want as long as the swimsuit fits your frame. Don't you just want a piece like this for yourself?
