Khanyi Mbau was easily the best dressed at the event. Her showstopping, dreamy ruffled gown turned many a head.
Host for the night Pearl Modiadie looked pretty in a mustard dress, but although we liked the dress, it didn’t suit her hairstyle.
Actress and TV personality Boity Thulo kept it simple in an olive green slip dress that showed just enough of her thigh game.
Never one to disappoint, Mafikizolo songstress Nhlanhla Nciza looked absolutely gorgeous in a gown from her clothing label, NN Vintage. Mafikizolo won the award for Best Styled Group.
Actress and radio host Thando Thabethe got it just right in a black number. We loved her simple, elegant high pony that accentuated her facial features.
Queen B, Bonang Matheba, looked beautiful in a metallic Gert Johan Coetzee gown with sheer flared sleeves.
Isibaya actress Jessica Nkosi owned it in this Zama Zarth design.
Isibaya actress Nomzamo Mbatha also wore a Zama Zarth design which showed just enough skin. We also loved how she styled her faux locks – they suited her goddess look and feel perfectly.
