Zambian Grandmother Margret Chola Becomes Global Style Icon Thanks to Stylist Granddaughter
Margret Chola, an 85-year-old grandmother from Zambia, has captured hearts worldwide with her bold and vibrant fashion sense. Dubbed the “Legendary Glamma,” Chola owes her newfound fame to her granddaughter, Diana Kaumba, a New York-based stylist who turned her into an internet sensation through their Granny Series project.
The series, launched in 2023, features Chola in playful and striking outfits, blending traditional and contemporary styles. Her colourful photographs have attracted a loyal following on Instagram and earned her recognition from international media outlets.
Chola’s journey to becoming a style star reflects more than just fashion – it’s an inspiring celebration of age-defying beauty and living life to the fullest. For Kaumba, it’s about showcasing her grandmother’s elegance while challenging societal norms surrounding ageing and style.
Through their creative collaboration, Margret Chola is redefining what it means to be stylish at any age and inspiring people across generations to embrace self-expression.
