DJ Zinhle is no stranger to making headlines with her fashion choices, and her latest look has got social media buzzing again. The serial entrepreneur and DJ stepped out on 18 July 2026 wearing low-rise oversized jeans, a sweatshirt, belly chains and chunky Era chains, completing the ensemble with a wig from her own Hair Majesty brand.

The outfit reveal was originally posted to promote her new fragrance, Zazi, but her striking style quickly overshadowed the actual product.

Zinhle has been leaning into an edgier aesthetic in recent times, often pairing dark clothing with bold jewellery and flaunting a whole lot of skin, and this look was no different.

Not every corner of the internet was as enthusiastic, though.

MbadiweSin79342 did not hold back:

"DJ Zinhle is so old for this style."

LadyLuh24 shared a similar sentiment:

"It's as though she is trying too hard to be a cool kid."

nomandlabobo went further, drawing comparisons to Zinhle's bestie, Moozlie:

"She dresses like Nomuzi, and this style only suits Nomuzi. She's just forcing it."

At 40, Zinhle continues to use fashion as a form of self-expression, and if the reaction online is anything to go by, she certainly knows how to keep people talking.
