Breadcrumbs # Clara Amfo On The Dress She Wore To Meet Beyoncé, Personal Style & Confidence Welcome back to The Residency, SheerLuxe’s three-part series with John Lewis. In episode two, Nana is joined by Clara Amfo for a conversation about personal style, confidence and building a wardrobe that actually feels like you. Clara reveals how rebelling against the outfits her mum chose for her helped shape her style, why she never wants to feel like the clothes are wearing her and the red dress she’s owned for 12 years that remains her ultimate confidence booster. Elsewhere, the pair discuss shopping smarter, investing in fewer, better-quality pieces and mixing high-street, vintage and designer. Plus, they delve into the wardrobe staples Clara couldn’t live without, the styling tricks that make an outfit feel more personal and the unforgettable dress she wore when she met Beyoncé. Expect plenty of new-season inspiration, styling advice and pieces worth adding to your wish list.
