When Bonang Matheba steps out, the world takes notes and her latest look proves why she remains South Africa’s ultimate style muse. For her recent appearance, Bonang embraced one of fashion’s boldest silhouettes: the oversized suit, reimagining power dressing with effortless elegance.

At the Patek Philippe Cubitus GMT Celebration, Bonang delivered a fashion moment that felt both classic and forward-thinking. Her choice? A pinstriped Helso Studio suite that whispered reverence for Saint Laurent's Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection tailoring while breathing fresh life into the art of power dressing.

The suit featured soft grey pinstripes, paired with a crisp white button shirt and a wide co-ordinating tie. Draped effortlessly, the ensemble exuded quiet authority, proving that masculine codes can look unapologetically feminine when styled with grace. Every stitch spoke luxury, every line deliberate. She grounded the look with sharp white pointed Amina Muaddi pumps, this created length and intention to the oversized silhouette. 

Her accessory game was equally commanding: dark, oversized Tom Ford sunglasses framed her face with cinematic mystery, while gold statement earrings added a subtle glint of warmth. The finishing touch? A petite white top-handle Gucci bag, offering a playful counterpoint to the suit’s structured edge.

Bonang reminded us that the oversized suit isn’t merely a borrowed-from-the-boys trend, it’s a powerful reclamation, a celebration of confidence stitched in fabric and elevated through styling. True style, after all, lives in the details and in the audacity to own them.
