Top10 stylish guys of 2011: Smart & Dapper
10. Terry Pheto
We agree the ball dress she wore back in 2006 at the Academy Awards was not the dress of the decade. Fast forward 2011 Terry has added style and galmour to her fashion taste. We are not sure if this has to do with the fact that now she has gay friends who are her stylists when she's back in SA. Terry commands glamour on the streets of Hollywood today with a recurring role in The Bold and The Beautiful. Her beauty grows each day and she's now even more confident when filming close ups for The Bold.
9. Lelo Boyana
Because I am not doing an article on weaves, I will just include her here. This is not to say the celebrity blogger aint doing well in the wardrobe department. Lelo always struts her things on the red carpet and for a few occasions that I've managed to spot her at social events, she looks forever refreshed and her dress code right on point. As a celeb critic of some sort, Lelo aka Brown Shugga, who cut her blogging tooth on TVSA, sure knows how to command style. We forgive her for the rumours about Lulo Cafe and some some soccer player because in all honesty, I wouldn't mind to end up on Lelo's bed. Just looking at her walk down the red carpet is good/bad enough for me to drop my camera in awe of her.
8. Lira Kohl
At the brink of an international stardom, Lira forever represents SA well when abroad. She doesn't compromise on her Afro-chic with a Western touch look. Lira is on of the very few artists who travel around the globe taking our music abroad and never compromises on her constumes when performing. Her hair is forever clean proving girls can still look great in their traditional hair. Her flawless skin make us question why these facial comestic companies ignore ger beauty.
7. Joelle Kayembe
Quite rare in the social scene, Joelle still has what it takes despite allegations of abrotion by her ex-fiance. Suffice to say, Joelle still holds down her modelling career albeit all the talk that went down last year. And she is not only stylish when in her clothes, she still rocks it in her birthday suite. That Sprite advert on TV will forever stay in our minds and I wouldn't mind kissing her anytime. Though Joelle is Congolese, she is South African by default.
6. Lalla Hirayama
She exudes style and class. Lalla isn't particularly known for matching her outfits with everything that she wears but her smile and confidence can easily convince you to forgive her. Lalla looks stunning in anything that she covers her body with and that well-trimmed figure of hers needs to be let lose on a Durban beach with Makisto for dayzzzzzz.
5. Nthabiseng Mphahlele
Muvhango's Meiki is forever well dressed. Sometimes in mini dresses that send me to dreamland during 21:00. Her jeans are equally seducing and we wanna applaud whoever chooses clothes for her character. I do know that actress Nthabiseng has some of Meiki's clothes at home. Nthabiseng is always eloquently dressed. Be it when she visits friends or on the red carpet, she always knows her story.
4. Kim Engelbrecht
We just have to start by saying though Kim needs to ltake a few style tips from Lolly in Isidingo, Kim does pull an electrifying look whenever she feels like it. Her looks do great justice to her in any attire. Those lips of hers and seductive voice is good enough to make any guy come buckets. Whenever I watch Isidingo, all I wanna see is Lolly. That body of hers needs to be taught things by Makisto. Kim sure knows her style and we are glad she dresses well.
3. Uyanda Mbuli
She may not be your favourite socialite but girl has class and taste, thanks to her Diamond Face Couture. Uyanda is one of the rare ladies on the social scene who prove that girls don't need a gay friend cum stylist to look hot at each and every single event. Uyanda is forever on point with her dress sense. Be it pants or a dress, Uyanda will show you how to pull it. She dazzles all the time on the red carpert and with my interactions with her on the red carpert as a photo-journalist, I am forever humbled by her friendliness and smile.
2. Sashi Naidoo
Whether she is on her way to a modelling job or featuring on TV, Sashi is always elegant. Her lips are forever seductive and always make me crave for kissing her. Sashi has been on the cover of the FHM magazine I don't know how many times. Whether she is dressed in jeans or evening wear, Sashi is sure to command attention not only because of her great looks but because of her dress sense too.
1. Bonang Matheba
And now, let's hear it for the Queen of all Media and unrivalled Best Dressed Female Socialite as per Feather Awards 2011. As Tazteeq puts it, Bonang can wear egg-shells and still pull it off. A lot has been said about her style, what more is there to say?
