Fashion lovers get all your #VDJ2020 looks here and check out Rina Chunga of Ri.Ch Factory, drag queen Baba Ganoosh, celebrity makeup artists Nomsa Madida and Diva Cadach and fashionistas Melody Molale and Nolusindiso Mchunu and much more.
As a way to honour and celebrate the social butterflies who are still managing to #StayConnected to their passion for fashion during lockdown, Vodacom has announced ‘Butterflies’ as the official fashion theme for the 2020 Vodacom Durban July and fashion lovers across the country have been dying to find out just how their faves plan on interpreting the theme.

And, of course even though this year’s event was a closed one with many revelers partaking in the event virtually, trust Zodwa Wabantu to still make an entrance. Posting to her social media account, Zodwa appears to have pulled up to the event in a Ferrari and very mildly dressed, even by Zodwa’s standards, in a shiny charcoal dress with full body guard entourage, sans mask.
Watch it here:
This year’s Vodacom Durban July is going to showcase a bold new vision as fans of this incredible event can still #StayConnected to their passion but also #StaySafe at this time. Fashion is all about a different way of looking at the world, so this year we’re taking a totally different view of the Vodacom Durban July and bringing this event to the people in a unique new way,” said Managing Executive for Vodacom KwaZulu Natal Chris Lazarus in a statement.
In keeping with Covid-19 protocols, organisers have touted masks as the new fashion trend and have thus challenged all aspiring designers, artists, seamstresses and anyone with an eye for beauty to enter their nationwide mask design competition.
“The only design criteria is that the new glam fashion masks must include the ‘Butterfly’ theme.”

Made this hand-sewn and -embroidered moth mask to enter into @Vodacom‘s #VDJ2020 mask competition – because after all, a moth is just a butterfly who loves the nightlife. ???? This was such a fun project to work on! #VDJ2020 #StayConnected pic.twitter.com/T9bquPZmIh
