TV/radio personality Bonang Matheba stacked her claim as the undisputed Queen of Mzansi celebville with her high-fashion outfit changes at the 15th Metro FM Music Awards. Queen B had a total of six outfit changes throughout the night at the awards held on Saturday in Durban. Bonang co-hosted the awards alongside Metro FM’s DJ Mo Flava.
Taking a much-needed refreshing break from regular wardrobe contributor Gert-Johan Coetzee, Bonang flew in an international stylist to help her out with her eveningwear sartorial.
Bonang worked with Law Roach, renowned for always making sure that stars such as Ariana Grande and Zendaya are red carpet ready. As a result, Bonang was the belle of the ball styled in couture ensembles that consisted of feminine silhouettes, ladylike pretty hues, edgy cuts and even played around with modern tailoring.
Some of the highlights included the long sleeve black and gold metallic column gown that Bonang donned on the black carpet. Designed by Lebanon couturer Charbel Karam, Bonang relaxed the opulent and tough luxe dress with a sleek updo.
Undoubtedly, Bonang’s best look of the night was the blush-toned tassel Yousef Al Jasmi dress that she wore during the live telecast’s opening sequence, offering her freedom of movement that read like a dream onscreen.
Bonang’s final look of the night was another showstopper. She closed the night in a strapless Nicholas Jebron draped gown. But Queen B insists that it wasn’t her wardrobe changes that made her feel the prettiest on the night, but rather “her king”.
“My King is the only reason why I felt like the prettiest girl in the world! Love you,” Bonang tweeted right after the show ended.
Meanwhile, King of kwaito, Arthur Mafokate’s offer of a cow to whoever gave him the most votes paid off as his 999 Music was announced Best Compilation winner for the hit song, Summer Yama Summer.
But, people are now asking when the winner of the cow will be announced. It appears fans will have to wait and see if Arthur honours his promise.
Daily Sun ran a story earlier this month about Arthur’s plan to use a cow to buy votes. When the People’s Paper called Arthur after he won to ask about his promise, he said: “A promise is a promise. This isn’t something I take lightly. We know people want their cow.
“We just need people to post us proof that they voted and then my team will verify who had the most entries.”
Arthur, who also won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Metro FM Awards on Saturday, said no system was set up to find the winner.
He said they were relying on people to come forward to show that they voted for his music stable to win the award.
“We’ll set a date to bring the winner to Joburg for an official hand-over and celebratory party next month,” said Arthur.
“We’ll also invite the media to see that we’ve fulfilled our promise.”
The 999 boss said it was amazing that following a four-year break from the industry, his stable had been able to come back and make such a big impact. – SundayWorld/DailySun.
