9 Muslim Style Stars You Should Be Following on Instagram
Diversity and representation in fashion is something we can all get behind. After all, who wants to limit their style inspo to just Western culture? (Who wants to limit their style, period?) And a growing number of fashion brands apparently agree, with everyone from Dolce & Gabbana to Nike expanding their offerings to Muslim women in the last few years. Indeed, modest fashion is a huge market, and some of the world’s most stylish women choose to cover up. In celebration of Muslim Women’s Day on March 27, Brit + Co is highlighting the real stories of Muslim women. We rounded up Instagram’s hijabi style MVP’s. Get to know them, cop their style, thank us later.
1. @dinatokio: British/Egyptian Dina Torkia doesn’t shy away from color and print. Her insta is chock full of florals, stripes, and embroidery with hints of athleisure, not to mention beauty tips and food inspo. Sign us up!
2. @asci_akf: Kuwaiti-American Ascia Al Faraj of The Hybrids’ (a husband and wife style blog) experiments with layering and mixing prints (and balancing motherhood). She also recently partnered with Net-a-Porter to curate a modest dressing online shop for women who want to cover up in high fashion.

4. @withloveleena: Favoring a soft palette and minimalist style, Leena Asad’s feed is full of blush, camel, gray, and white pieces put together in a sleek, wearable way. Added bonus? Now there’s some major wedding eye candy from the newlywed’s recent nuptials.
5. @mariaalia: Maria Alia is of Palestinian/Puerto Rican descent with a distinctly NYC flavor. A scroll through her feed serves up edgy looks that include bomber jackets, track pants, and corset waist details.
