5 Zalebs Rocking Funky Heritage-inspired Fashion
You don’t have to go head-to-toe Zulu maiden or Xhosa Queen to represent your distinct culture this Heritage day
 
Take some inspiration from these stars who’ve taken subtle elements from traditional wear and prints and merged it into their everyday wear.
 
Not only is it practical, but uber fashionable too!
 
 
Nomzamo Mbatha – Nubian glam
 
Nomzamo looks ready to rock the runway in this flowing H&M kaftan in ethnic print.

The actress teamed the stunning look with gold stilettos and beads in her braids.

 
 
 
Pearl Thusi – The doek queen
 
The TV actress and presenter took Africa to the streets of New York in this sassy look.
 
Pearl paired a blouse and head-scarf in traditional print with a denims and heels.
 
Very chic!
 
 
Terry Pheto – Bold & beautiful
 
We LOVE the bold African print and bright colours of Terry‘s jumpsuit.

She even complimented the look with a leopard-print bag!

 
So edgy!
 
 
Minnie Dlamini – Mix it up!
 
The TV presenter paired a funky slogan Tee with an African print skirt.

Minnie also wore her ‘fro out to complete the look.

 
Viva, Minnie, Viva!
 
 
Nhlanhla Nciza – All about the accessories!
 
The Mafikizolo singer is the definition of African glam.

Here she mixes a white dress with a touch of Mzansi flavour – traditional headgear and some jazzy jewellery.
