Mixed emotions over SOPA fashion trends

MBOMBELA – The State Of the Province address came and gone, but we are still having flashbacks from the fashion hits and misses on the red carpet.

While some of the politicians and socialites heeded to our call to take style and sass seriously, some just went on to have us astonished, for the worst.

We want to give props to the Speaker of the Legislature, Ms Thandi Shongwe, for standing out in a fashionably brilliant way. Her dress was on point, and finished this time (thank you to the tailor) and her shoes, hair, nails, and everything was on fleek.

Now that she has set an example, we shall be keeping a closer and stricter look to all her colleagues.

 

This is one woman who understands the power of simplicity. Now we know where Premier DD Mabuza gets his inspiration from. Sass!!

 

Clearly Ms Manana didn’t read our previous review. The shoes are on the North pole and the dress is on the South pole. Why?

 

We have no idea who these brothers are,but man, they looked so fine! Do they work for some bank? They look like they have money in the bank.

 

We are glad to know that Ms Nhlengethwa decided not to go yellow this time, and she looks great. We can only hope that it gets better. As for our Bae, Ms Mahlangu-Mabena, we knew you would not let us down.

 

 

Ms Mhaule seems to love her two-piece collection.

 

You can’t be a Health MEC and not be clean, and Mr Mashego has proven that to be true. Looking elegant Mr MEC.

 

International Standards (IS)… That’s all we are saying. Oh… Second couple goals.

 

What’s on that hat? Does anybody know? Nice shoes by the way. We can only hope that they fit this time, bigger sizes can be uncomfortable.

 

We got stuck here for a second. Did we go back in time? Is it her Matric Dance? Anyone?

 

It’s good to see Mr Mofokeng in a suit for a change, and not Nabalabantfu branded clothing. Nothing beats a man in a navy suit, a white shirt, and brown shoes. Mmhh… We’re drooling.

 

Mr Themba is obviously a fan of the flamboyant life. Amandla Comrade!

 

Are we in Jamaica? Ahoi jah lady!

 

 

Oopsie! Winter seems to have arrived earlier for Mbombela. Or, wait! We’ve never really had snow days before.

 

Those shoes are nice. It must also be noted that this was a surprise to all of us. I mean, those are Jozi standards. Look at the guy drooling next to you guys! #CoupleGoals

 

Oh Cinderella… we could actually have three dresses out of your dress. Not bad though.

 

And you wonder why they are Miss SA finalists. The slit makes your dress even sexier, Ntando. We will definitely be cheering for you at Carnival City, girls.

 

These two looked great together, even though Mr Masilela loudly assured us that they’re not together. We believe you.

 

Is that Bongi or Reggie Belafonte from Surf’s Up? The jumpsuite and the hair are so out of space, seriously! Sooo confusing. Oh Karabo, usishaya Ding Dong.

 

Because the Bae is always Baeable with his attires. But wait… where does he get them? Maybe Skon’ Bae makes them for him, that should explain the variety.

 

Curtains! If you are going to wear a curtain, at least keep it plain.

 

The woman in yellow looks like a giant bumble bee. Here, in this photo, we are also reminded that short things are not for everyone.

 

This suit is screaming No!

 

Here’s what we were talking about! You see this? This is elegance. You have really outdone yourself Ms Speaker, and please, we can’t go back.

*When I remember what the Lord has done, I will never go back anymore,* singing.

 

Here we have a neat and clean MEC, however, the partner is a bit of a let down. We are not sure of the dress. Was it finished?

 

Ms Mtshweni clearly takes from the Speaker. The dress colour and the touch of animal print brings out the elegance in her. We are sold!

 

One word… Fine!

 

The hat! The hat! OMG! The Hat!

 

 

No! Those shoes look like he’s going for a cowboy run or something. What was the plan? Oh wait! We know it, he went for a cowboy run after the address. Now we know your secrets, Mr MEC!
