All eyes were on Nomzamo Mbatha at the 2024 QG Men of the Year Awards.

The South African actress always amplifies her magnetic presence on the red carpet with a blend of grace and style that is hard to match. At the 2024 GQ Men of the Year Awards, hosted on December 10, she showcased her undeniable status as a style and entertainment trailblazer.

Nomzamo turned heads and left guests in sheer awe with her choice of attire—a breathtaking criss-cross dress that dominated the evening’s visual narrative. Designed by the renowned South African label Vonga Designs, the actress showcased her daring side of fashion.

The stunning dress boasted a criss-cross neckline and cutouts that artfully revealed just the right amount of skin. It highlighted her toned physique and washboard abs, striking a perfect balance between elegance and daring allure. She styled her hair into an intricate updo, with braided details and looped structures that added an artistic touch to her look.

Her makeup was equally on-point, with glowing skin and bold brows, highlighting her natural features. The nude lip and soft, defined eye makeup were subtle yet perfect.

Beyond her captivating fashion choice, the actress’s presence at the event was further spotlighted when she was honored with the prestigious “Woman of the Year Award.” This accolade recognizes her unwavering talent and hard work in the entertainment industry, as well as signifies her impactful contributions beyond the screen.
