South African Style creator Thabee Happy shared a post on Instagram that quickly gained attention ahead of The Pink Table event. Her caption read: “Afternoon with my favourite Bruta Fruit Spritzer. Getting ready to paint Johannesburg pink next week at The Pink Table.”

She wore a fitted pink midi dress that highlighted her shape while maintaining clean, modern lines. The neckline, detailed with small beadwork, brought a touch of refinement to an otherwise simple outfit. It balanced structure with softness and showed how minimal design can still make an impression.

Her choice of accessories kept things sharp. A metallic mini bag introduced a fresh edge, while silver heels and small diamond earrings maintained a sense of restraint. Her straight hair framed her face neatly, and her makeup stayed natural, with bronzed tones, a neutral lip, and a soft glow that worked well in the afternoon light.

Those who follow Thabee know this kind of presentation is consistent. She often steps out in looks that feel composed and personal, with pieces that fit well and tones that enhance rather than overwhelm. Her strength lies in knowing what works for her. Confident dressing that never feels staged.

Her post also hinted at the buzz surrounding The Pink Table, Bruta Fruit’s lifestyle experience that celebrates women who embrace colour and self-expression. Over time, the event has built a strong identity in Johannesburg’s social scene, where fashion, conversation, and creativity come together easily.

Thabee’s outfit summed up that energy perfectly. It had presence without excess, and it reminded everyone watching that personal style does not always need big statements or branding. Sometimes it is about comfort, intention, and the right moment.

Bonang Matheba, celebrated for her sharp sense of style and assured presence, has a way of making every appearance feel considered. Her wardrobe choices always reflect purpose, never random, always aligned with her mood. On her official Instagram page, she shared a recent look that summed up that attitude perfectly. The post captured what Bonang does best: letting simplicity carry power.

The image kept things clean and simple, relying on Bonang’s natural presence to set the tone. There was ease in her posture and certainty in her expression, the kind that comes from knowing exactly what she wants to project. It’s that steady confidence that keeps her relevant in South Africa’s changing fashion scene, where individuality always outlasts hype.

She wore a crisp white button-down tucked into dark denim cut to flatter her shape without feeling stiff. Around her neck, a silk Gucci scarf added texture, cinched with a matching monogram belt. Oversized black sunglasses brought structure, while gold earrings caught the light with quiet precision. A beige Gucci tote with the trademark stripe rested beside her, and black leather mules detailed in gold completed the look with understated strength.

The beauty of the outfit came from its control. Every piece served a purpose, every detail in sync. For Bonang, presence is power; attention is just a result. Gucci may have supplied the canvas, but the story was entirely hers: grounded, confident, and unmistakably Bonang.

Orlando Pirates have stepped away from the familiar black and white this season, but not from their roots. During their Carling Knockout clash against Magesi, the Buccaneers surprised fans by unveiling a limited-edition third jersey that blends the spirit of Soweto’s streets with the sharp edge of modern football design.

The shirt, produced in partnership with adidas, draws its pulse from the famous Orlando Towers. Those giant murals that dominate the township skyline aren’t just landmarks. They are symbols of local creativity and pride. That same energy runs through the jersey’s design: textured patterns, soft pastel tones, and detailing that shifts under light. Depending on where you stand, the colour reads as a pale blue or muted lilac, subtle yet instantly distinctive.

Adidas describes the design as a tribute to “the art of the streets,” and you can see why. The club crest, with its skull and crossbones, sits cleanly against a backdrop that feels more like a lifestyle piece than a standard match kit. It is the kind of shirt that looks just as good with jeans as it does under stadium floodlights.

When the team walked out wearing it, reactions were immediate. Some supporters called it the freshest look Pirates have had in years. Others weren’t sure how to feel about such a break from tradition. Still, the buzz was undeniable. Social feeds filled with clips and comments: excitement, curiosity, and a fair bit of envy from rival fans.

The decision to make it a limited drop adds to the hype. Official sales begin on 14 November through adidas stores, select retailers, and the club’s online shop. Quantities are expected to be tight, and if recent trends are anything to go by, resale prices may soar once it sells out.

For Orlando Pirates, this isn’t just about fashion. It is about representing where they come from and showing that the culture of football in South Africa extends beyond match day. The Orlando Towers connection grounds the design in real community identity. It is local pride stitched into fabric.

More than anything, the jersey reflects how football culture is evolving. Kits are no longer only for players. They have become part of how fans express themselves. From Johannesburg streets to Cape Town hangouts, supporters are wearing their club colours like everyday fashion. Pirates and adidas clearly know their audience: young, stylish, and proud of where they come from.

So, whether you are heading to Orlando Stadium or catching the game from home, this new kit is hard to ignore. It is a confident step into modern football design, bold enough to stand out yet grounded enough to feel authentic.

Because sometimes, the best way to honour tradition is to remix it.
