Bonang Matheba made a bold statement at the Earthshot Awards 2024, co-hosting the prestigious event alongside Billy Porter.
The media mogul and fashion icon attracted attention not only for her hosting skills, but also for her stunning dresses that conveyed a powerful message.
Bonang took to social media to reveal the story behind the dress, which was designed by @biji_la_maison.
In her post, she shared the deep meaning behind the ensemble, which was founded to raise awareness about environmental issues and the urgent need for protection.
“This dress serves as a creative expression to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote the importance of conservation efforts,” Bonang wrote.
“With this special design, which features ribbons representing water and rivers and a dress of beads symbolizing soil, I am telling the story of the earth's precious resources and the need to protect them.”
Her dress was more than just a fashion statement, it was a call to action, symbolizing the earth's most important resource and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The design choice, where the ribbon represents water and rivers and the beaded elements symbolize earth, was a beautiful and creative nod to the Earthshot Awards theme.
