Bonang Matheba dazzled as the host of Miss South Africa 2024, proving once again that she’s not just a media personality she’s a full-on fashion icon. Her look was nothing short of fabulous, giving us all the glam we didn’t know we needed.

First off, Bonang’s makeup was pure perfection. Crafted by the brilliant hands at NEETA BEAUTY, a Nigerian makeup brand, her look was all about that radiant glow. Think shimmering eyeshadows in earthy tones, a flawless bronze finish, and a glossy nude lip that just screamed “queen.” Her makeup was so on point that it was practically its category at the pageant.

And let’s talk hair! Bonang’s sleek updo was the work of South Africa’s THE DON HAIR, teamed up with Nigerian Hair by Bukks. Together, they created a top bun so chic that it deserves its own Instagram account. The look was smooth, polished, and a little bit playful just like Bonang herself.

But what’s a beautiful look without the outfits to match? Styled by the talented Dahmola, Bonang showed off five incredible ensembles, all from Nigerian designers. From the bold and beautiful pieces by Veekee James to the intricately crafted designs by Somo by Somo and Sheye Oladejo, each outfit was a hit. It was like watching a runway show in the pageant, and Bonang was the star model. Nigerian creativity was front and center, and Bonang wore it like the pro she is.

The whole night was captured by The Lagos Paparazzi, ensuring that every swoon-worthy moment was documented in the most stylish way possible. If you missed it, we’ve got you. See the photos below:
