Mihlali Ndamase has taken an all-brown outfit and given it plenty of contrast.

The South African content creator wore a fitted chocolate-brown long-sleeved top with matching high-waisted trousers. The top follows the body, while the trousers have a relaxed straight-leg cut, giving the outfit a combination of fitted and looser proportions.

Over the brown base, Ndamase added a long brown fur coat with an oversized collar and thick horizontal sections across the sleeves. Its volume gives the otherwise simple outfit a stronger shape, while the different textures keep the brown-on-brown styling from looking flat.

She carried a Gucci top-handle bag in the brand’s beige and brown GG canvas. Tan leather trims and gold-toned hardware added lighter details to the darker clothing, while the structured shape of the bag gave the casual trousers and fitted top a more polished finish.

Her shoes brought the biggest change in colour. Ndamase wore pale green loafers with gold-toned detailing, introducing a cooler shade to the brown-heavy outfit.

Gold jewellery included a circular pendant necklace, bracelets, a watch and rings. She also wore oversized sunglasses with brown-tinted lenses, tying the accessory choice back to the rest of the outfit.

For beauty, Ndamase pulled her dark hair back into a slick style and kept her makeup in neutral tones. Defined eyes, full lashes, shaped brows and a glossy nude-pink lip completed the look without adding another strong colour.

Brown has appeared in Ndamase’s wardrobe before, including previous looks styled with chocolate tones, gold jewellery and brown accessories. Her latest outfit takes that preference in a more coordinated direction, using the colour across the clothing before introducing the Gucci bag, green loafers and gold details for contrast.

The result is a look that shows how much range a neutral shade can have when different textures, shapes and accessories are brought together.

Tyla brought her A*POP era to Johannesburg on Sunday, August 16, with a special takeover at Gold Reef City.

The A*POP Takeover was designed as a fan appreciation event following the release of Tyla’s second album, APOP. Gold Reef City was transformed for the occasion, with activities including face painting, a neon photography room and merchandise activations linked to the album.

Tyla had also announced that 1,000 tickets would be given away for free through TikTok and Instagram challenges. Fans had to create videos using songs from A*POP* and share them with the hashtag #APOPGOLDREEFCITY for a chance to attend.

South African Tourism also supported the event by arranging transport for selected tourism students and fans from different parts of Gauteng. Tourism Minister Patricia de Lille attended the takeover, while about 200 students were given access to the celebration.

Tyla also performed during the event, with songs including “That Girl”. Choreographer Lee-ché Janecke, also known as Litchi HOV, was among the performers involved in the event.

The singer spent time interacting with fans around Gold Reef City. During the event, she spoke about her career and how she enjoys the opportunity to connect with her supporters. She said:

“I’m so happy that you guys came through. You guys look beautiful. We’re gonna have fun. I want you guys to enjoy, have a good time. It’s crazy. I did not think it would be this crazy,” 

The Gold Reef City takeover came weeks after the release of A*POP* on July 24. The 14-track album includes collaborations with MaWhoo, Babalwa M and Liquideep, as well as Swedish singer Zara Larsson.

The event also comes ahead of Tyla’s first full global headline tour. The A*POP World Tour is scheduled to begin in Paris on October 12 before moving through Europe, the UK and North America, with Tyla also scheduled to perform in Cape Town on January 4, 2027, and Johannesburg on January 9.

Bonang Matheba arrived at the 2026 South African Music Awards in Sun City in an oversized grey linen suit by South African label UNI FORM by Luke Radloff. The look traded the expected red-carpet gown for strong tailoring, with the cut and proportions of the suit taking centre stage.

The grey linen jacket has broad shoulders, oversized sleeves and a long cut, with a matching tie tucked beneath the pointed collar. The trousers have an extra-wide leg that falls almost to the floor, creating a generous shape from the waist down. A gold-toned buckle at the waist adds contrast to the grey fabric, while the long jacket panels extend over the trousers.

Bonang kept the accessories focused. She wore animal-print pointed heels beneath the wide trousers, while stacked bracelets, a watch and gold earrings added jewellery to the look. The gold earrings also worked with the buckle at her waist. Oversized dark sunglasses completed the styling.

Her hair was cut into a short, side-parted black bob, with loose strands framing her face. She paired the hairstyle with a deep berry lipstick, which added contrast to the grey suit.

The outfit also recalls Bonang’s previous tailoring looks. In July 2025, she wore an oversized pinstriped suit with a white shirt, long tie, angular sunglasses and pointed pumps. The similarity is clear in the use of an oversized suit, tie and statement eyewear, although the SAMA look takes the proportions further.

At the 2026 SAMAs, Bonang’s choice of grey linen and wide-leg tailoring offered another example of how she uses suiting for major appearances. The outfit stays close to her established preference for strong tailoring while giving it a more relaxed, oversized shape.
