#SAMA25: From the odd to the stunning; what they wore to the 2019 South African Music Awards
Saturday was South African music’s biggest night, the 2019 South African Music Awards.
To celebrate the SAMAs turning 25 year, organisers chose six hosts, two from each decade to emcee the prestigious award show. Local entertainer Skolopad wore a dress with a sheer bodice, revealing her breast, and Kelly Khumalo turned heads, wearing a neon pink gown with matching headpiece. Sjava walked the red carpet in a casual trouser and jacket ensemble, while Emtee paired his suit with a beanie.
But the attention was not only on these hosts, as the night simply brought out South Africa’s fashion excellence, and well a bit of the madness too.
Check out some photos from all the ridiculous attires to the stunning ones that rocked Cape Town on the night!
