Multi-talented actress, award-winning radio host, and businesswoman Thando Thabethe celebrates a remarkable milestone in her illustrious career, being named 'The Most Glamorous Media Personality' by GLAMOUR South Africa.
Thabethe has not only solidified her position as a style icon but also reinforced her influence among South Africa's media elite.
The accolade was announced during the recent star-studded event that brought together South Africa's leading style stars to celebrate the realms of fashion, beauty, and influence. Dazzling in a custom gown by renowned designer Gert-Johan Coetzee, Thabethe once again proved her knack for commanding the attention of every room she graces.
'To be recognised not just for how I dress, but for how I carry myself – that means the world. Glamour is about presence, not just appearance. I'm truly honoured,' Thabethe expressed during her heartfelt acceptance speech.
Following the event, she took to social media to reflect on her achievement, stating, 'Got named @glamour_sa's most glamorous media personality. I've worked hard over my almost 20-year career, and it feels good to be recognised. This award is a reminder that it's important to look good while working hard towards your dreams. Also shout out to my mom, the most glamorous woman I know, who continues to inspire me. An ode to all the women who make even the hardest moments look glamorous.'
Thabethe's recognition follows the recent launch of her new men's line, Tha'Bhuti, marking a significant turning point for her acclaimed brand, Thabooty's. The launch underscores her commitment to men's mental health awareness and the creation of spaces for self-expression in fashion.
In collaboration with Sorbet Man, Tha'Bhuti compiled a collection that redefines masculinity, blending comfort with confidence. Initially introduced as an April Fools' prank, this exciting line has quickly established itself as a go-to for 'soft brothers, the finest uncles, and dads who deserve premium comfort with a little drip'.
The 'Coco Collection', which debuted alongside the line, features a uniquely designed robe-dress hybrid that promises to provide the comfort of a second skin. Handmade in South Africa, the collection, rooted in both legacy and luxury, offers stylish underwear and sleepwear for men who seek sophistication without sacrificing comfort.
