During the past year, Domingo has cemented himself as a style star to watch with his well-tailored suits and striking use of colours in his fits. However, this recent ensemble elevates previous attempts with Ferrari Style, the sports car brand's fashion label.
He opted for one of their high gloss suits that features a dramatic trouser, oxblood Oxfords and a dropped neckline with lariat necklace from De Beers. There aren't a lot of people who can pull off the daring look without drowning in the design, but it speaks volumes about Domingo's flair and the eyes of his stylist duo Waymand and Micah.

The local songstress is no stranger to turning heads at award shows in daring outfits. However, for the BET Awards, she got lost between a crafty Durban July get-up and cringeworthy state of the nation address fashion.
The gown features a red sculptural piece with oddly placed beads that honour the South African flag. It creates an overwhelming look that has too much going on, as seen in the sequence skirt, a layered bust and cool-toned accessories that contrast the entire look. Don't get us started on the pastel shoes chosen for a look that would have done better with a brassy or warmer-toned pair.
