Boity Thulo Owns the Gucci Primadona at the Zeitz MOCAA Gala

Boity Thulo attended the 2026 Zeitz MOCAA Gala in Cape Town wearing Gucci’s Primadona. The annual fundraiser, held during Cape Town Art Week, brings together artists, curators and patrons in support of the museum’s exhibitions and education programmes.

This year’s gala also paid tribute to the late curator Koyo Kouoh, recognising her contribution to the institution and to contemporary African art. In that context, Boity’s fashion choice was hard to miss for its clarity and confidence.

She wore a Gucci Primadona look in the house’s signature monogram, styled as a flowing, floor-length cut with feather-trimmed cuffs and hem. The high neckline and relaxed drape created structure without restricting movement, while the neutral colour scheme kept the focus on shape and texture. She paired the look with pointed black heels, oversized sunglasses and a compact top-handle bag, keeping accessories controlled and deliberate.

The Zeitz MOCAA Gala has grown into a multi-day programme that includes exhibition walkthroughs, collector gatherings and live performances, all aimed at raising funds for the museum’s curatorial and educational work. Hosted at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa at the V&A Waterfront, the event remains one of Cape Town’s key cultural fixtures.

Within that setting, Boity’s appearance aligned with the evening’s tone: formal, considered and grounded in contemporary African cultural life. The look balance luxury branding with control.

At a gala centred on art, philanthropy and institutional support, her choice of Gucci signalled global fashion awareness while remaining contextually appropriate for a South African cultural event.
