The boldest and best looks from Zee Nation Fest’s second edition

The dress code for the day? Three distinct themes for fans,  affectionately known as “besties”  to choose from: Carnival, Pink, and Into the Wild. And the besties delivered in spectacular style. From feathered headdresses and beaded bodysuits to head-to-toe animal prints and bubblegum-pink glam, the crowd looked like a runway in motion.

DJ Zinhle, the queen of the night, took her style game to another level with ten outfit changes. She moved seamlessly between bold stage-ready pieces and statement looks, including a dramatic cape emblazoned with the faces of her closest friends, mirrored in giant screen visuals.

Nomuzi leaned into the Carnival theme with an Embellished Bodysuitlayered with cascades of fringe, while Thabsie stunned in a sleek, floor-length pink coat paired with crystal-studded bra and cowboy hat, a nod to old-school glamour with a modern twist.

The besties were every bit as fashionable as the performers, turning the festival grounds into a colourful, themed style parade. Leopard print co-ords, sequined masks, layered tulle skirts, neon feathers, every outfit was a testament to the creativity of Zinhle’s fan base.
