We don’t have that many red carpet events in South Africa, but when we do, our favourite celebrities know exactly what to do.

They show up dressed to the nines, they don’t commit fashion offences and always create a fashionable moment to remember.

Here are a few of our best dressed local celebrities.

Lalla Hiranyama


The TV presenter and personality isn’t afraid to take a fashion risk.

Her bright, bold and fashion-forward choices always make Lalla a red carpet favourite at glamorous events.
