Back in February 2012, Bonang Matheba let us into her world and gave us a run-down of her favourite trends, inspirations, hot spots, career highlights and beauty tips. It came as no surprise that she was nominated and won in the Reader’s Choice category in that year’s GLAMOUR Women of the Year awards. Here are some of the highlights from Bonang’s World.
Her style icon:
“Solange Knowles is my standout choice. Her look is an interesting mix of fabrics, styles and colours – all of which makes her hypnotically watchable and totally unforgettable!”
Her favourite hot spot:
“Jobur’s Bliss Lounge at 44 on Stanley is a must, and Possum’s on 4th in Parkhurst is also great for breakfast and lunch dates. For a hot night out on the town, I head to a VIP spot in Sandton called Envy.”
Her inspiration:
“Olivia Palermo. This New York socialite and A-lister is the quintessential city girl, with an eye for fashion like no other. She has the most beautiful penthouse in Tribeca that reflects her elegance and style in meticulous detail. I love that she takes fashion risks and isn’t afraid to experiment with different designs and patterns.”
Her most amazing experience:
“The launch of Cranberry Brutal Fruit with Kim and Khloé Kardashian was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and my highlight of 2010 – it’s not often you’re blessed with such an honour!”
And some inspiration, courtesy of the queen herself:
“Rise above. Return hate with love. Kill them with kindness, then bury them with success.”
