- Noor Tagouri -
Libyan American journalist, producer,
activist and motivational speaker.
“I realised that my strength
lies in using my own identity,”
said Noor Tagouri.
Noor Tagouri’s presence
really encapsulates the room,
and her personal sense of
style makes this impressive
young woman even harder to
ignore. She isn’t afraid to be
herself in the workplace, and
it’s refreshing and empowering
in equal measure.
The most important aspect
of her signature style is, of
course, her hijab. As a young
child and during her early
career, Noor was told by
others that a woman veiled
in a hijab simply couldn’t exist
in such a ruthless industry.
Yet, despite being met
with anger and prejudice
by many, she kept working
hard and furthermore, kept
wearing her hijab as a symbol
of her Muslim faith. Now,
with 391,000 followers on
Instagram, she’s inspiring a
generation to be proud of
their roots.
Noor does power dressing
a little differently. Instead of
opting for structured suits and
sky-high heels, she dresses in
soft silhouettes and calming
tones that prove timeless,
practical and stylish; most
perfect for a busy professional
lifestyle. Always adorned
in perfectly paired gold
accessories, Noor is capable
of commanding a room,
before she’s even spoken
a word.
