Bonang Matheba Delivered 5 Impeccable Looks at Miss SA 2024 Finale with an Excellent Team of Nigerian Creatives

South African media personality, Bonang Matheba, once again proved her status as a style icon at the Miss South Africa 2024 finale. The star host delivered not one, but five impeccable looks, each one a testament to her impeccable taste and the brilliance of her Nigerian creative team.

Matheba’s collaboration with a stellar cast of Nigerian Creatives including stylist Dahmola and designers VEEKEE JAMES, SOMO, SheyeOladejo, Mazelle Bridal, and EMAGINE by Bukola resulted in a dazzling display of fashion. From the opening look, a show-stopping masterpiece conceptualized and produced in under 48 hours by VEEKEE JAMES, to the final ensemble that left the audience breathless, each outfit was a testament to the burgeoning fashion scene in Nigeria.

This year’s Miss SA finale was not just a beauty pageant; it was a runway extravaganza, thanks in part to Bonang’s undeniable style influence. Her ability to seamlessly transition from one glamorous look to the next solidified her position as the undisputed queen of South African television.

Viewers were left speechless by the visual feast of her radiant beauty, which was accentuated by flawless Nigerian artistry from NEETA BEAUTY. Her gorgeous shoot, which was photographed by Nigerian paparazzi sensation The Lagos Paparazzi, featured a flawlessly skin-matching frontal styled into a chic top bun, thanks to the amazing work of South African duo THE DON HAIR & Nigerian Hair by Bukks.
