Frankly, we’re not sure how this month could possibly be outdone in terms of style. From media powerhouse LootLove’s breathtaking couture gowns at the Metro Music Awards (MMAs) to influencer and fashion connoisseur Naliyani Uma bringing Schiaparelli’s braided tie runway trend to life at CRUZ Vodka’s South African Fashion Week (SAFW) launch soirée, the month was nothing short of a fashion fad’s paradise.
When it comes to the local fashion scene, April typically boasts a plethora of celebrity style to look forward to in the coming weeks. This is because A-listers will be busy attending premieres, dinners, promotional events, and of course – SA Fashion Week. Moreover, the month is also the cusp of Autumn which means there will likely be lots of new-season styles for you to be inspired by.
Ahead, we round up our favourite looks from South African stars during the month of April.
Blue Mbombo
