Meet Margret Chola: Zambia’s Legendary 'Glamma'

If you’re not following Margret Chola (@legendary_glamma) on Instagram yet, what are you even doing? This Zambian grandma is serving up serious style in the form of a fun, eclectic mix of bold prints, vintage finds, and accessories that do anything but blend in. And it all started with a little help from her granddaughter (who just happens to be a gifted stylist).

It all began as a playful project: Margret’s granddaughter started putting together outfits for her, showcasing them on Instagram for shits and gigs. Little did they know their creative outlet would pick up some serious steam on social media.

 

 

Now, Margret is *the* go-to style inspiration for anyone who believes fashion should be fun, fearless, and full of personality. She’s rocking oversized hats, statement necklaces, colourful suits, and so much more—proving that style doesn’t have an age limit.

If you’re thinking Margret’s vibe feels a little like Iris Apfel, you’re not wrong. Like the iconic fashion legend, Margret isn’t afraid to go all out with textures, patterns, and bold colours. They both have a knack for mixing and matching in ways that shouldn’t work but totally do. Both women remind us that fashion is about expressing yourself, not about following the rules.

So, whether you’re 25 or 75, Margret’s Instagram is a reminder that fashion is all about having fun and owning your look. With her fearless, vibrant style, she’s inspiring a whole new generation to dress with confidence and a whole lotta flair.
