2018 MET GALA ROUNDUP

The biggest night in fashion was held on Monday 7 May 2018 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in my favourite city in the world (one day I'll be happy to say I've been there) New York City. The theme for this year was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, basically a Madonna tribute since she has been wearing religious jewellery since the 1980's.

The co-chair for the event was Donatella Versace and the co-hosts were Rihanna and Amal Clooney. The outfits were fabulous, some were not so impressive. There were some obvious absentees such as Beyonce. I was overally impressed with the looks that the A-list served at the Oscars of fashion.

Here are our favourite looks from the night.

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting. The combination of the legendary, veteran and the up-and-coming actors that we are lucky to have here in South Africa can be found on the show. The legendary would be the late Connie Chiume and Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, the veterans would be Xolile Tshabalala, Pallance Dladla, Enhle...

2022 Met Gala Review.......

Roundup: 2020 SAFTAs

We might be living in a time where unfortunately we cannot gather in public spaces but as they say in show business the show must go on. This is what happened last night as the National Film and Video foundation with the guidance of the Department of Arts & Culture, held a virtual award ceremony which was hosted by the talented Dineo Ranaka. I must say I was rather not pleased with the delayed start, but this can be excused as we have never had to host an awards show in such a manner. The biggest winner of the night was Knuckle City in terms of the awards related to the motion picture category. The feature film is centered around the relationship between a boxer and his deviant brother as they take one more shot at the big time. The night's other big winner was The River which is produced by Tshedza Pictures. The popular telenovela took home 10 awards ,whilst its sister show The Republic took a whopping seven awards which include the coveted Best TV Drama gong. The Ri...
