Our Best 3 Looks at Patek Philippe Cubitus

Published

on

Yesterday, the Patek Philippe boutique in Sandton transformed into a haven of luxury, elegance, and meticulous craft. With the debut of the Cubitus Range, the evening brought together some of South Africa’s most stylish tastemakers, invited for an intimate celebration hosted by GMT International. But while the watches sparkled, so did the fashion, and these three looks stood out in every frame and every turn of the head for us.

Bonang Matheba’s Monochrome Masterclass in Suiting

If elegance had a uniform, this would be it. Stepping onto the blue-lit carpet in a crisp, oversized white pinstripe suit, Bonang redefined what it means to command a room. The structure of the suit, broad shoulders, sharp lapels, and perfectly draped trousers nodded to classic tailoring, but the relaxed fit gave it that contemporary, unbothered edge.

 

She styled it with a matching pale tie and button-down shirt, tucked just enough to show ease. Her accessories sealed the deal: a dainty metallic mini bag that shimmered softly under the lights, sharp white pointed heels, and oversized sunglasses that brought the attitude full circle. Every piece of this outfit said one thing, class! 

Kefilwe Mabote’s Noir Seduction

Luxury influencer Kefilwe Mabote showed up like she already owned the room, and then owned it again in front of the camera. Wearing a black pinstriped tailored mini dress, her look fused the language of menswear with high-octane femininity. The dress hugged her just right, with a dramatic asymmetrical scarf detail that flowed down the front like a whisper of drama.

 

She paired the look with sleek black shades, a muted beige Louis Vuitton top-handle bag, and glossy heels that gave her legs the spotlight they deserved. Hair slicked back, makeup sculpted and precise, it was all confidence, no noise. This outfit was a perfect, minimalist nod to power dressing, evening elegance, and quiet luxury all at once.

 

Boity in Blush — Softness with Edge

Boity brought a softer palette to the mix but didn’t sacrifice an ounce of impact. Dressed in a sculpted dusty blush blazer dress, made distinctive by a diagonal cutout detail across the chest and a bold silver chain linking each lapel. The dress hit that sweet spot between armor and art, feminine, but fierce.

 

Her pointed metallic pumps glinted under the boutique lights, adding edge to the romantic tones of her outfit. She completed the look with a burgundy mini clutch and subtle jewelry, letting the dress and chain detailing speak for itself. Hair on point and eyes lit up, Boity reminded us that fashion is fair enough when you have your style intact. 

 

At a celebration where time stood still for the art of watchmaking, these women reminded us that personal style is timeless too. Their looks didn’t end at  reflecting trends, they echoed intention, confidence, and a little bit of bold magic. South African fashion? Undeniably in its golden era.

Nomzamo Mbatha Stuns in Black Feather-Accented Coat-Dress

Published

on

Nomzamo Mbatha has once again captured attention with her latest Instagram post, captioned “Emotions of the sun,” where she stuns in a black coat-dress accented with delicate white feathers. The photos immediately sparked conversation around her style, with many noting how she can turn one outfit into a moment without pushing for attention.

She wore a long black coat-dress dotted with soft white feather accents that gave the outfit a textured, hand-worked feel. The cut was relaxed but held its shape, with a sharp neckline that outlined her shoulders in a clean, structured way. A front slit gave the outfit a bit of ease, while the bold collar carved out a strong outline that didn’t overwhelm the rest of the look. She paired the dress with a small gold clutch shaped like a rounded disc and solid white earrings that matched the tone of the detailing. Her hair, swept to one side with a smooth finish, kept her face open and grounded the styling.

The feather detailing was the standout, placed lightly, shifting as she moved and adding depth to the black fabric, giving the entire look a dynamic touch. Her makeup followed the same measured approach: defined eyes, warm tones on her skin, and a soft lip shade that supported the overall mood of the outfit.

What tied everything together was the calm assurance she carries into her fashion choices. She picks pieces with character, then wears them with a natural ease that feels true to her. This appearance reinforces what her followers already recognise: when she steps out, attention comes her way all on its own.

Mihlali Ndamase Shows How It’s Done in Suits

Published

on

Mihlali Ndamase has never hesitated to put her own twist on classic tailoring, and this suit moment proves exactly why. She appeared in a look that felt intentional, even without a specific event to mark the occasion, as if she expected the cameras to notice her regardless, and she commanded attention effortlessly.

The outfit centers on a black pinstripe suit, but Mihlali wears it in a way that avoids the stiffness often associated with tailored pieces. The blazer is slightly oversized, giving the ensemble space to move, while the trousers fall neatly without dragging. A white button-up shirt, relaxed at the hem, keeps the outfit from feeling overly formal and lets the sharp lines of the pinstripes stand out.

A loosely knotted black-and-white striped tie introduces a subtle playful rhythm, keeping the suit from leaning into corporate territory. Her glasses contribute personality without overwhelming the look, and her soft, voluminous hair offsets the suit’s structure, creating a sense of movement that brings the outfit to life.

What makes the look compelling is the balance between precision and ease. Every element feels intentional yet natural. The tailoring gives presence, the relaxed touches add attitude, and the details, including the glasses, tie, and pinstripes, transform the outfit into a modern interpretation of suiting rather than conventional office wear. Mihlali wears the pieces as if they belong in her wardrobe, treating tailoring as personal style rather than a costume.
