Bonang Matheba Wore Four Jaw-Dropping Outfits For The 2023 Miss SA Beauty Pageant Finale

 

Whether she’s hosting an award show or a beauty pageant, Bonang Matheba always puts forward her most impressive style. She’s one of the best-dressed women in South Africa and returning to host the 2023 Miss SA Beauty Pageant finale on Sunday (August 13), the 38-year-old star ensured she left a sartorial mark in a stellar collection of jaw-dropping outfits. 

Bonang kickstarted the glamorous evening in a Barbie-inspired creation by a Nigerian designer, Veekee James. The sculptured pink dress featured an intricately embellished crystal bodice that Matheba themed up with coordinated hues of accessories and makeup.

“This Barbie is the most awarded OAP on the African continent, and tonight…she hosts Miss South Africa 2023. 💕,” she captioned the dress while sharing the photos with fans on Instagram.

It’s not a big surprise though to see the South African Television presenter being decked out in Veekee James. She’s, however, been a long-time admirer of the Nigerian labels, having sported quite a number of looks in the past. For example, in 2016, she collaborated with a Nigerian womenswear label, Toju Foyeh, for a beautiful collection that was inspired by her. 

For the glitzy pageant night, she also paid homage to wearable glamour in a custom pristine white dress with a pair of matching knee-length heels. The one-shoulder gown crafted with sexy cutouts was also a creation from another Nigerian fashion designer: AnnCranberry Couture. 

We are swooning over this perfectly feminine number, it was designed with a high neck, side cutouts, high slit, and exaggerated shoulder. Per the designer, the beautiful number took over 85 hours to create. 

However, the TV hostess may have missed taking a shot of her third dress but she did share her final look of the night. But this time around, the award-winning media personality favored a South African designer, Biji Maison, for a show-stopping illusion confection, offset with massive gold earrings and bangles, a sleek hairstyle with a dramatic ponytail. Her makeup was on fleek as well, as she struck different poses for the camera. 

Breathtaking!
