The Miss South Africa Red Carpet will redefine itself, not as a prelude, but as its own stage that celebrates power, purpose, and pan-African excellence. Furthermore, on 25 October at SunBet Arena, Time Square, Pretoria, before the Finale begins, attendees will mark their arrival on the runway-style Red Carpet.
Meanwhile, Creative Director Sean Lane explains that guests are invited to wear their stories as declarations:
“This new chapter pays homage to where we come from while driving a future shaped by purpose, inclusivity, empowerment and impact. The red carpet isn’t just for pictures; it is a canvas for expressing refinement, authenticity, and intention.”

Red Carpet Hosts
Additionally, returning to lead this moment are two cultural forces:
Natasha Joubert, Miss South Africa 2023, entrepreneur and fashion designer, says the carpet is about celebration and self-expression:
“The Red Carpet is a beautiful stage to showcase your individuality and the uniqueness of your style and heritage. And yes, AFI is dressing me, I’m so excited for everyone to see my dress.”
~ Natasha Joubert, Miss South Africa 2023
Similarly, Dr Fezile Mkhize, a medical doctor, TV personality and history-maker as the first Black and South African winner of Mister Supranational 2024, brings charisma and cultural fluency to the role.
“This is about being bold, proud and rooted in who you are. This red carpet will be creativity in motion, and I hope everyone embraces that.”
~ Dr. Fezile Mkhize, Mister Supranational 2024
AFI Redefines the Red Carpet
Presented by Africa Fashion International (AFI), the Miss South Africa Red Carpet event seeks to redefine pageantry fashion trends by blending timeless elegance with innovative craftsmanship.
As the evening unfolds, it becomes a celebration of the rich heritage and creative potential of African fashion, highlighting how these styles are not merely decorative but also serve a greater purpose.
Moreover, this initiative aligns seamlessly with Miss South Africa’s commitment to ushering in a New Era of empowerment and purpose. Thus, the spotlight on the Red Carpet will shift to the vital role that African fashion plays in driving economic development, fostering job creation, and exerting a significant cultural influence.
While the Red Carpet dazzles with its special guests, it will also showcase not only South Africa’s excellence in fashion but also its vibrant contributions to art, music, entertainment, and sport (FAMES).
In doing so, the event aims to reintroduce Africa’s creative sector as a key defining force in global luxury, emphasising its undeniable impact on the international stage. Through this celebration, the Red Carpet will undoubtedly inspire and elevate the appreciation of African creativity worldwide.
