The outfit was something else entirely. Masango designed a pinstripe suit that nodded directly to the Shelby clan’s iconic 1920s gangster aesthetic, but added an African twist. Traditional beadwork patterns ran along the suit, fusing local heritage with international style.

Ndaba finished the look with polished leather brogues and a toothpick. Fans across various social media platforms called it a masterclass in African red carpet fashion, as the images spread fast. The moment also marked designer Masango’s international red carpet debut.

Not long ago, Ndaba grew a following of over 3 million people on TikTok. In 2022, he won the Clout Africa Awards Content Creator of the Year award. His relationship with Netflix grew from there.

On 5 March 2026, Ndaba posted a video on TikTok ahead of his first glim bot. He gave his followers a glimpse into what was unfolding behind the scenes of the premiere week.
