South African media personality and entrepreneur Bonang Matheba commanded the red carpet at the 32nd annual South African Music Awards (SAMAs) with a striking, modern interpretation of Afro Dandyism. Dressed in a relaxed slate grey ensemble, Matheba traded traditional red-carpet gown silhouettes for sharp, oversized tailoring.
Styled with wide-leg trousers, a matching tailored shirt, an oversized jacket, and a sculptural gold waist buckle, the look balanced structured menswear aesthetics with Matheba's signature red-carpet polish. She completed the ensemble with dark oversized sunglasses, pointed heels, and layered metallic jewelry.
Known across the continent as "Queen B," Matheba has built a multi-decade career as a premier television host, radio broadcaster, and business mogul behind luxury beverage brand House of BNG. Her appearance at Sun City marked a celebrated return to the SAMA stage, where she was also recognized for her ongoing contributions to African entertainment culture.
Matheba's fashion choices at major awards shows routinely set style trends across African fashion media. Her latest red-carpet statement reinforces her standing as a global fashion icon who continues to push creative boundaries in African celebrity style.
