Best Dressed Ladies At The Durban July

Mhlengi Mafu

The Holywoodbets Durban July 2025 came with some interesting twists to the fashion space. 

We have carefully curated a list of our best dressed fashionistas. Working on an outfit takes a lot of effort and energy. Everything has to be perfect for Africa’s greatest horsing event. Upon our curation we had a sharp eye that carefully looked in the streets of social media and we were also looking at the Durban Greyville Racecourse while others were not looking. Some of our favourite fashionistas didn’t disappoint as they also do exceptionally well when it comes to putting threads together. 

Sithelo Shozi did not disappoint, she came out blazing marvelling the racecourse and making a statement that is a testament to her fashion journey. With a timeless piece from Nolanga Made, with what they called, “Indwe every feather a war cry in a glory of a featherless nation.” 

Linda Mtoba also rewrote her legacy in the book of fashion with an African number from Nolanga Made as well. Nolanga Made truly knows how to dress celebrities and she did well with Linda Mtoba as well. That is why she made on our list. 

A moment for Mihlali Ndamase, she killed her look with a dress from Sihle the designer. Definitely not something you usually see in Durban July. A very unique piece that came was absolutely breathtaking. 

Sarah Langa, just as her surname she bought the so much light with her. Her piece was relaxed and unconventional. A blend of black and gold will always be timeless. With added jewellery and the hat this look stays winning. It is not something you usually come across but certain things can only be well executed by certain people and we can attest that she is the excellence of execution.
