The two divas Sandra Ndebele and Cindy Munyavi who wore eye catching outfits at the NAMA Awards night did not escape the public eye.
Themed Royal African almost everyone who attended the annual event dressed to match the theme, although there were a lot of hits and misses.
Themed Royal African almost everyone who attended the annual event dressed to match the theme, although there were a lot of hits and misses.
As for the Ndebele girl Sandra she represented her culture well, heads turned and the buzzing stopped for a moment as soon as she stepped the red carpet wearing a flowing black gown wrapped by a studded animal skin. To finish the royal princess look she wore a matching horned crown.
Sandra was proud to tell the world that her mother in-law designed and made her gown and her makeup up was done by non-other than Cindy Munyavi.
The creative and multi-talented Cindy who ran around that evening doing red carpet interviews did not receive any kind words on social media because of the PVC outfit that she was wearing.
The two piece, Thembani Mubochwa creation, was lined with a java material on the skirt hinting the theme of the event, underneath she wore a shorter black sequined mini skirt and crop top which she matched with black shoes and gloves to finish the look.
She was heavily criticised for her 'plastic' choice but knowing Cindy whatever touches her body suits her and she is bold and goes out of her way to set the pace, love or hate her outfit, she still raised her head high.
