Pamela Mtanga graced Briefly News with her presence in a red and white number. The presenter chose a dramatic silhouette with Dioaan Daniels' Couture's fish tail skirt and a white shirt with exaggerated trumpet sleeves, giving her a boss look. She that explained that she feels more like Andy, but for the screening, she was trying to channel Miranda with the dramatic silhouette of her outfit:
"Attitude-wise, I am Andy, style-wise I am definitely Miranda. I am a YSL girl, I love exaggerated shoulders, I like structure, something quiet but luxurious."
