2. Mpho Popps ruffles some feathers
Mpho Popps held it down for the gents. Mzansi male celebs usually tone it down at such events, rocking the good old suit but not Mpho.

Mpho made a fashion statement by rocking feathers attached to his lush black and white suit. ZAlebs reports that it is custom-made by Ephymol.
Mpho hosted the red carpet and gushed about his amazing time, saying:
"All is can say is “WakandaForever” ♀️♂️♀️ The premiere of Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was absolutely Well done to my fellow “Black carpet” comrades @somizi and @knaomin you guys held it down "
3. Robot Boii embodied class
Giving Mpho a run for his money was Robot Boii.
The Salary Salary hitmaker rocked a good old tuxedo, but this one was different. It screamed class and luxury, and snaps are making the rounds online. Nao Serati dressed Robot Boii.
4. K Naomi stuck to the theme
K Naomi was lauded for the stunning gown she rocked. The star sported a green dress that kept with the Afrofuturism theme. Briefly News reported that her dress was a fan fave on social media after K Naomi shared pics.
5. Anele Mdoda served legs
Sis' newfound confidence in her body and skin oozed when she rocked a minimal IsiXhosa-inspired dress. The 947 Breakfast Club host showed legs and left fans salivating after she posted the gorgeous pics.
