Mihlali Ndamase has built a style direction defined by bold colour and body-conscious shapes. Recently, her Instagram feed has focused on figure-hugging dresses from her label, Treasury. But in a different direction, she steps away from that approach, choosing instead a blazer and wide-leg denim styled with a vintage reference.

The blazer is cut with a slightly oversized frame, giving it a balanced shape. The shoulders extend just enough to create contrast against the jeans. This proportion avoids the cropped  tailoring typical of modern cuts. This outfit is styled like the late 90s and early 2000s styling. She pairs the look with cuffed loose jeans in clean-finished denim.

The outfit carries a vintage feel through its details. The blazer and jeans pairing draws from classic styling, shown through simple details rather than bold elements. The blazer shows Mihlali’s usual style, shaped by clean lines and well-cut pieces.

Accessories are kept simple. The shoes and bag come in soft, neutral shades. She pairs the look with oversized glasses and wears her hair in a fringe that frames her face.

This look sits close to her 27 February denim outfit, where she wore lighter-wash jeans paired with a matching long-sleeve blue shirt. She finished the look with a sweater draped around her neck, a white clutch, and half-covered shoes, styled with a bob.

Halle Bailey presented a more romantic look this week while promoting her upcoming project You, Me & Tuscany, stepping out in a striking red gown from Blumarine that reflects the film’s tone.

The look, covered by publications such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, featured layered ruffles cut from lightweight chiffon that moved easily. The gown was shaped with a softly structured bodice and a deep V neckline, before falling into cascading tiers and a trailing hem. A high slit balanced the volume, adding shape and allowing ease as she walked. She paired the dress with pointed red heels, keeping the look one colour, while gold hoop earrings and a statement ring added contrast without pulling focus from the dress.

For Bailey, this appearance continues her recent fashion direction. In recent months, she has shifted away from more bold red carpet looks and towards pieces that focus on fabric and structure instead of heavy detailing. The Blumarine gown sits firmly within that transition, using texture, proportion and colour to create impact in a controlled way.

The red colour aligns with the film’s romantic theme. Instead of a deep, formal tone, the shade appears brighter and less formal, aligning with the romantic setting implied by You, Me & Tuscany. Styled with long braids pulled back from the face and minimal beauty choices, Bailey kept attention on the neckline and ruffles.

The look also aligns with current promotional styling. Bailey’s wardrobe here appears deliberate. It aligns with the film’s romantic setting.

This look is defined by its simplicity. Where many promotional looks aim for attention, this one relies on proportion, flow and a clear approach. It reflects a performer who is more considered, not just in her roles, but in how she presents them visually.

With the film’s release approaching, Bailey’s fashion choices are already helping define its visual direction. If this appearance is any indication, the promotional tour will favour consistency over bold styling, using fashion as an extension of the film’s theme.

Thabee has maintained a clean, controlled approach to styling. This time she delivers a polka dot set built around a structured long-sleeve shirt and tailored shorts, balancing a playful print with structured tailoring.

The fit is sharp, with defined shoulders and a clean button line. The addition of front pockets adds a functional detail. The cinched waist, tied with a matching belt, defines the waist clearly. It is fitted without looking restrictive.

The shorts maintain the same structure. They are tailored enough to look deliberate but relaxed enough to keep the look from becoming too formal. The length is precise, keeping the outfit modern and wearable.

The styling stays minimal. The white pointed heels extend the clean colour direction and sharpen the overall appearance. The colour direction stays consistent. The handbag, compact and structured, adds texture without overpowering the look. The jewellery remains minimal, keeping focus on the outfit.

The polka dot print is evenly applied, keeping the pattern balanced without clutter. It looks modern because of the cut and styling, not just the print.

The environment matches the outfit’s structure, staying polished without feeling rigid.

Thabee Happy’s styling shows strong control of proportion. Each element is placed with purpose, from the structured shirt to the clean finish of the heels. The outfit doesn’t need extra layers or bold accessories to get attention. It works because the fit is right, everything is balanced, and it is put together properly. This look keeps things clean and modern while staying wearable, showing how a familiar print can still feel current when the execution is right.
