Nomzamo Mbatha attends Rihanna, Kanye fashion shows

Nomzamo Mbatha is back in America, this time for New York Fashion Week. 

The actress attended Kanye West’s Yeezy 3 collection show at Madison Square Gardens on Thursday, and was one of the first people to hear his new album, The Life of Pablo, which was streamed live (via Tidal) during the show. 

It looks like Puma flew Nomzamo, who is their South African ambassador, to the Big Apple to attend the fashion week festivities.

The sneakers brand held the Fenty x Puma fashion show on Friday, a collaboration with Rihanna, and of course Nomzamo attended.

She got to meet Rihanna’s mother, younger brother and comedian Chris Rock – who will soon host the Oscars. 

Nomzamo is becoming a US regular. Earlier this year she was in Miami (for P.Diddy’s New Year’s Eve Party) and LA (for  a private screening of Brandy Norwood’s new TV series, Zoe Ever After).

Her rumoured beau, Maps Maponyane, was also in the US with her.

We can’t wait to see what else Nomzamo gets up to in the land of the free.
