The Best Looks from Bridgerton Premiere Red Carpet

The Bridgerton Netflix South Africa premiere delivered a red-carpet moment defined more by setting than display. Held in Cape Town under an AfroCouture Masquerade theme, the event focused on regency-inspired dressing filtered through African design influences, modern tailoring, and personal styling choices. Masali Baduza was one of the most prominent figures on the carpet, while Zozibini Tunzi incorporated cowrie-inspired details into her look. Khanyi Mbau chose tailored suiting instead of a gown, and Dineo Langa worked with texture-driven pieces that highlighted material craft while keeping the look modern. Across the carpet, outfits reflected individual taste rather than a single, uniform direction.

The looks focused on tailored shapes. Sculpted bodices, tailored suits, layered detailing, and close-fitting gowns appeared throughout the evening, with clear attention given to cut and fabric. Beading, raffia, metallic touches, and woven elements brought depth without overwhelming the wearer. Hair and beauty followed a similar path: braided details, natural textures, and shaped styles were paired with simple makeup that allowed comfort and wearability while staying in step with the clothing.

The South Africa premiere presented a visual shift from earlier Bridgerton events, placing emphasis on clear styling choices and cultural reference within a modern setting. The strongest looks relied on good construction and thoughtful fabric choices, resulting in fashion that felt grounded, wearable, and appropriate to its location.

Below are the best looks.
