Haibo! Phupho Gumede has done it once again. The popular celebrity stylist left many netizens gobsmacked with his recent daring outfit at the Paris Fashion Week.

On Tuesday, 7 October 2025, the controversial blogger and gossipmonger Musa Khawula posted a picture of the star wearing one of his unique outfits, a denim two-piece, which exposes his behind on social media, and it also went viral.

However, this isn't the first time Ayanda Ncwane's younger brother made headlines because of his audacious fashion sense, as in September 2024, during the SA Cruz Fashion Week opening party in Sandton, he wore a chicken-inspired outfit that had many netizens laughing on social media for a week.

@reaschwarz questioned:

"I'm all for innovation and expression but what is that? and why is it not moisturised?"

@salim_sgo said:

"This is the nonsense that makes Ngizwe angry."

@Oriana_RSA wrote:

"Y'all are deliberately getting Ngizwe Mchunu angry now."

@SwiftieLee1 asked:

"Haibo, what is this?"

@_mashesha commented:

"Whoever is close to Ngizwe Mchunu please hide this from him."

@Puppett_masteer mentioned:

"That’s why the rapture is delayed. Jesus is still gathering strength to deal with the madness we call normal."

@Proudly012 replied:

"Clearly he is inspired by that video of a white woman who was walking with such a revealing jean even though not exactly similar."
