Award-winning singer Makhadzi recently poked fun at her Durban July dress, leaving Mzansi in stitches. No doubt, celebville came out in style and numbers to show off their stylish and not-so-stylish outfits at the annual Hollywood Durban July.
The event, known for its extravagant fashion displays, saw a mix of hits and misses, with some designers understanding the theme while others completely ignored it. Many celebrities gushed elegantly, as they were able to ride the fashion waves and crash on the seashores. However, Makhadzi has since removed herself from those who made their fashion statement known.
Taking to social media, Makhadzi threw shade at her own dress, despite trying to ignore that she was not properly dressed for the event. The BET Award winner shared a stunning photo of herself posing in her blue dress with pearl detailing and accessories, but Mzansi was not convinced by her choice of attire.
Makhadzi made it known that the dress was done at the last minute by a local designer based in Johannesburg, and she expressed her discomfort with the unbalanced curves of the dress.
In a now-deleted post, Makhadzi revealed that she didn’t initially plan to attend the Durban July, as she was in California for the BET Awards. However, last-minute changes forced her to return to South Africa, leaving her with no option but to make an appearance at the event. Despite the criticism, Makhadzi’s honesty and self-awareness about her look have been praised by many, as she showed a refreshing level of vulnerability and a willingness to poke fun at herself.
The Durban July is a highly anticipated event in South Africa, and the fashion choices of the attendees are always a topic of discussion. While some celebs managed to hit the mark with their outfits, others, like Makhadzi, faced a bit of a fashion faux pas. Nevertheless, the event continues to be a platform for designers and celebrities to showcase their creativity and style, and Makhadzi’s experience has only added to the ongoing conversations surrounding the fashion choices of the stars.
