Thulisile Phongolo Takes Her Black Dress to the DJ Booth
Thulisile Phongolo brought a fitted black gown to the DJ booth, giving her latest performance look a more dressed-up feel without adding unnecessary details.
The long-sleeved gown has a square neckline and a close fit through the bodice, waist and hips before falling to the floor. The black colour keeps the look simple, while the neckline adds interest to the otherwise covered design. The designer of the gown has not been confirmed.

She paired the gown with strappy metallic heels, which were visible beneath the floor-length hem. A delicate black pendant necklace sat at her neckline, while she wore a slim wrist accessory.
For the DJ booth, Phongolo wore black over-ear headphones across her head as she worked the decks. The headphones added a functional element to the outfit while fitting naturally with the all-black look.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, with reddish-brown strands and a full fringe framing her face. A few loose pieces were left around the sides, softening the updo.
Her makeup included defined brows, eyeliner, full lashes, softly contoured cheeks and a nude lip. The neutral finish worked with the black gown without introducing another strong colour.

The look is in keeping with Phongolo’s preference for fitted, feminine pieces. She has previously stepped out in more elaborate designs, including a Maryzo Designs gown, as well as casual combinations such as a Versace denim jacket with black trousers. Her wardrobe regularly moves between glamorous occasionwear and simpler fitted looks, and this DJ appearance sits comfortably between the two.
This time, however, the setting was different. The same kind of fitted black gown that could work for an evening event also made sense at the decks, where Phongolo has built a second career alongside her work as an actress and television personality.

Siyanda Banny Gives White a Sculptural New Shape
Siyanda Banny pairs an oversized white top with light-blue wide-leg jeans, bringing an unusual shape to a familiar denim combination. The look centres on the top’s construction, with its broad neckline and flowing sides contrasting with the relaxed cut of the jeans.
The white top has a wide, folded neckline that stretches across the shoulders, creating a layered effect around the upper body. Its fabric falls in loose panels over the torso, extending outwards at the sides like a cape. Folds around the waist give the piece additional shape, while the plain white fabric keeps the focus on its cut and construction.

Banny wears the top with high-waisted, light-blue jeans in a faded wash. The wide legs fall towards the ground, with visible stitching and a double-button fastening adding detail around the waist. The denim brings a casual element to the outfit, balancing the volume of the top.
Her accessories include black rectangular sunglasses, gold earrings, a chunky watch and bracelets. She carries a structured brown monogram handbag with dark handles and gold-toned hardware. White shoes peek out beneath the long hems of the jeans, keeping the footwear in line with the top.

Her hair is pulled back into a centre-parted style, while her makeup includes defined brows, warm-toned eye makeup and a neutral lip colour. The black sunglasses provide contrast against the white top and complement the darker details of the handbag.
The outfit demonstrates how an unconventional top can change the look of everyday denim. By keeping the jeans, accessories and beauty look relatively simple, Banny allows the white top’s oversized shape and folded neckline to take centre stage.

Mihlali Ndamase’s Energy in Pinstripe Speaks Before She Does
Mihlali Ndamase wears a grey pinstripe suit with a fitted jacket, matching wide-leg trousers and a crisp white shirt. The combination draws on traditional office dressing, with the cut of the jacket and the length of the trousers giving the outfit its defining features.
Fine white stripes run vertically across the grey fabric. The jacket has structured shoulders, a fitted waist and pointed panels at the front, while the matching trousers fall loosely down her legs. The difference between the fitted upper half and the wider trouser legs gives the suit a distinct shape.

A white shirt and grey tie complete the formal combination. The tie sits beneath the shirt collar, adding to the businesswear styling. The limited colour selection keeps the focus on the pinstripe pattern and the cut of the individual pieces.
Ndamase carries a small silver handbag with a quilted texture and short handles. Its metallic finish contrasts with the grey suit, adding a different texture to the outfit. She also wears a ring, keeping the jewellery simple. Her shoes are largely concealed beneath the long trouser hems, leaving the trousers’ cut clearly visible.

Her beauty look follows the formal styling. Her dark hair is pulled back from her face, while rectangular glasses add another detail to the overall look. Her makeup includes defined brows, softly emphasised eyes and nude-toned lips, keeping the focus on her features without introducing strong additional colours.
Ndamase’s pinstripe suit reflects her interest in structured dressing. Here, the white shirt, tie and matching trousers give the look a more traditional businesswear feel, while the silver handbag adds a personal touch. The outfit demonstrates how she can work with classic tailoring while making considered choices in accessories and styling.
