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.

Faith Nketsi Shows the Lingerie Trend Isn’t Going Anywhere
South African media personality Faith Nketsi has sparked conversation around a lingerie-inspired outfit that reflects how intimate-style pieces are being styled in everyday fashion. The brown lace camisole top paired with tailored white trousers highlights how modern styling blends delicate fabric details with structured clothing. The outfit keeps styling simple, focusing on shape, fabric, and neat finishing.

Faith Nketsi – Instagram
Lingerie-inspired clothing has become more visible in streetwear, influencer styling, and runway presentations. The continued presence of lace bralettes, satin camisoles, and corset-style tops shows how pieces traditionally worn as inner layers are now being styled as outer fashion elements.
The brown lace top is worn with clean, structured trousers, creating a contrast between soft fabric detailing and sharp tailoring. The lace trim along the hem and neckline adds visual interest while keeping the overall appearance balanced. The combination pairs a lightweight, intimate-style top with more formal bottom wear.

Faith Nketsi – Instagram
Nketsi’s public fashion choices often attract discussion on social media, particularly because her wardrobe reflects current youth and influencer styling preferences in South Africa. The lingerie-inspired look fits within a wider preference for clothing that allows personal confidence to be expressed through close-fitting cuts and visible texture work.
Designers and stylists have increasingly mixed clothing categories, pairing elements usually associated with innerwear, evening wear, and casual dressing. The approach allows outfits to move easily between daytime and social settings. Nketsi’s styling follows this direction by presenting sensuality in a controlled and polished manner.

Faith Nketsi – Instagram
The outfit’s minimal styling keeps attention on fabric quality and cut rather than accessories or bold pattern work. The neutral colour combination supports a clean visual finish, while the lace detail provides subtle contrast. This type of styling reflects the current preference for straightforward, wearable fashion that still carries statement value.
Faith Nketsi’s appearance demonstrates that lingerie-inspired fashion remains visible in modern style choices. The look shows how intimate-style pieces can be styled for public wear without losing structure or everyday practicality.
