I'll bet someone could help her look quite classy but they probably wouldn't have access due to some ethnic qualification they may not possess. Seriously, I think what she wears has some Afro-centric pedigree which would include the tent-like, simple designs rather than elegent lines and materials in colors that could accentuate her features in a much more feminine way.
I've seen black women dressed up and she looks pre-burkha or something by comparison.
I would agree with you on that
