Who rocked and who flopped on red carpet at Sona
Most MPs and guests played it safe and simple
Who got it right? Who bombed at the State of the Nation Address red carpet last night?
ANC MP Matthew Wolmarans’ partner Lillian committed the biggest fashion crime. Her twins were ready to escape from her cleavagehugging dress. The bodice had more glitter than a birthday cupcake.
Mmusi Maimane’s wife Natalie looked ready to marry the night in a bridal jumpsuit. Perhaps she should have saved the look for the wedding season.
Stogie T and his mom Ellen looked adorable, twinning in blue. University of Cape Town vicechancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng kept it simple, yet chic, in her colourful and vibrant prints.
Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s blush-toned gown complemented her skin tone well. Qiniso
Van Damme, who arrived with her sister Phumzile, looked trendy in a stylish two-piece outfit.
Most guests, including business people, members of the diplomatic corps, ministers and members of parliament, opted to keep it safe and simple in their suits and outfits.
