Bonang Matheba Takes Red and Silver to the Next Level
Bonang Matheba steps out in a strapless silver gown, with red flowers, a sweeping train and a cocktail glass-shaped handbag adding contrast to the look.
The gown by Ambaosa has a fitted, floor-length shape covered in dense silver beadwork. Long strands of beading extend down the dress, particularly towards the hem. The strapless neckline leaves the shoulders bare, while the intricate detailing runs across the bodice and down the length of the gown.

Red flowers are arranged across the bodice and along one side of the dress,with green leaves placed between them. The floral detailing continues towards the hip, where it meets a full red tulle train. The train extends well beyond the gown and spreads across the floor.
Bonang carries the red into her accessories with a small cocktail glass-shaped handbag covered in glittering embellishment and finished with a chain handle. She wears large, round embellished earrings, while the open neckline is left without a necklace. Her shoes are mostly hidden beneath the floor-length gown and train.
Her hair is styled in a neat side-parted updo, with a side-swept wave across her forehead. Her makeup includes defined eyes, full lashes and a strong red lip. Her long red manicure also picks up the colour of the flowers, train and handbag.

The look also recalls Bonang’s preference for fitted, embellished gowns and dramatic trains. While hosting Miss South Africa in 2018, she wore a red Fouad Sarkis Couture gown with a substantial train. At Miss South Africa 2019, she opted for a fitted silver Gert-Johan Coetzee gown covered in diamond embellishment.
Here, Ambaosa places silver at the centre of the look and uses red through the floral detailing, tulle train, handbag, lipstick and manicure. The result brings together two strong colours in a way that suits Bonang’s red-carpet wardrobe.

Thabsie Shows Off Her Abs in Fashionova’s Fairytale Maxi Set
Thabsie has put her toned midriff on display in Fashion Nova’s Fairytale Maxi Set, wearing a black two-piece with an off-the-shoulder crop top and a floor-length skirt. She paired the outfit with a red heart-shaped handbag, adding a bright contrast to the all-black look.
The crop top has a plunging V-shaped cut-out at the centre, with fabric extending across her upper arms and a matching scarf detail around her neck. Its cropped length leaves her stomach exposed, while the skirt sits low on the waist, with a dipped waistband and gathered fabric around the hips. The long skirt falls to the floor, with the hem pooling slightly around her feet.

Thabsie kept her accessories simple, wearing gold statement earrings alongside the red handbag. The heart-shaped design gives the bag a playful quality, standing out against the black fabric without introducing another major element to the outfit.
Her hair is styled in a high, textured bun, with neatly laid edges around her hairline. The updo leaves her shoulders and neckline exposed. For makeup, she wears defined brows, dark eye makeup, long lashes, contoured cheeks and a nude lip colour.

The look draws on Thabsie’s preference for coordinated dressing, with the matching top and skirt forming the basis of the outfit. The red bag and gold earrings provide the main points of contrast, while the exposed midriff gives the set its defining detail. It is a combination that keeps the focus on the cut of the clothes and the accessories she chose to wear with them.

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.
