Mihlali Ndamase Shows How to Rock a Chartreuse Gown

Mihlali Ndamase has built a reputation for looks that sit confidently between fashion discipline and personal confidence, and this appearance subtly reinforces that reputation through thoughtful styling. The look feels confident and composed, well put together without rigidity, and true to how she usually approaches fashion.

The images, shared on her official Instagram page, place her on a wide outdoor staircase with no explicit reference to an event or occasion. Her caption, “A piece that belongs in an Article gallery,” feels like she’s simply showing off her style, not promoting anything.

She wears a strapless chartreuse-toned gown sitting between yellow and green, designed with a structured corset that defines the torso before giving way to an asymmetrical skirt. The fabric gathers dramatically at the hip, forming layered, sculptural ruffles that cascade downward and reveal just enough leg to maintain balance. The shade is striking against her skin tone without overpowering the look. Gold strappy heels complement the dress, while a crystal-embellished clutch introduces detail without taking attention away from the dress. Jewellery is kept minimal, keeping the attention on the design of the gown.

What makes the look work is control. Despite its dramatic details, the outfit never feels overdone. The clean neckline offsets the weight of the draping, the corsetry anchors the structure of the skirt, and the accessories remain intentional rather than decorative. Ndamase carries the look with ease, moving between composed and playful poses that prevent it from feeling static. The result is a fashion-forward image suited to a magazine spread and consistent with the direction her recent style choices suggest.
