Mia le Roux said the dress, designed by Dr Esther Mahlangu, 'celebrates our differences'.It was a case of better late than never for Miss South Africa Mia le Roux on Saturday when she wore the garment meant to be worn at the Miss Universe pageant at the Cape Town Fashion Week Edit Spring Summer 24.The CTFW, presented by Africa Fashion International , was hosted at the Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse and features top designers from South Africa and the African continent.
The white cloud wings which accompanied the costume were made of feathers sourced from Cape Karoo International, in Le Roux’s hometown of Oudtshoorn, and inspired by Le Roux’s journey. Le Roux said she was delighted South Africans were able to see the eye-catching garment after she had to withdraw from the Miss Universe competition in Mexico due to severe vertigo which required medical intervention.
“It is a silent but powerful request to celebrate our differences, to preserve our cultural practices and to foster inclusion so that we can build a sustainable future. The headpiece reflects the warm South African sun and is symbolic of hope.
