Our Favourite 8 Looks From the Kings of Joburg Premier

A star-studded red carpet premiere of Kings of Joburg Season 3 lit up the city on Friday night, with glitz, glamour, and a hint of underworld mystique. Hosted ahead of the show’s much-anticipated global release on June 13th, the event brought together top-tier local talent, international stars, and style trailblazers. Echoing the show’s signature blend of crime, supernatural suspense, and lavish grit, the premiere was anything but ordinary, a celebration of South African storytelling on a global stage, draped in daring fashion and powerful presence.

The theme, “Kingpin & Queenpin Glam,” set the tone for a sartorial spectacle where guests arrived dressed to kill — figuratively, of course. There was no shortage of drama on the carpet, with looks that combined the menace of mob bosses with the poise of royalty. From opulent brocade and velvet suits to slick, tailored fits dripping with embellishment, the men served sharp silhouettes with a gangster edge. Meanwhile, the women owned the night in structured gowns, rich jewel tones, and architectural accessories, a bold, luxurious take on power dressing that perfectly echoed the essence of Kings of Joburg.
