The fashion marvels of Mzansi? RHOD stars like Sorisha, Jojo, Fafa and more showed off their stylish looks at the 2025 Durban July…

The stars of the Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) showed up and showed off at the 2025 Durban July.

The popular Showmax reality series has wrapped up season five with an exciting and eventful reunion.

DURBAN JULY: WHAT WAS THE THEME?

This year, the theme of the Durban July was “Marvels of Mzansi”.

For many, this was interpreted as things that represent South Africa, from animals and flowers to landmarks and icons.

A fashion directive from the event read, “With majestic mountains and magnificent views, these natural wonders can be your muse.”

RHOD STARS SHOW OFF THEIR LOOKS

On Saturday, 5 July, thousands of revellers descended on the Greyville Racecourse for the Hollywoodbets Durban July.

Joining them were a number of Real Housewives from the city.

While the three ladies behind much of the drama – Nonku Williams, Londie London, and Minnie Ntuli were MIA again – others put their best fashion foot forward.

Sorisha Naidoo

The reality TV show veteran channeled a Xhosa queen in an ensemble featuring woven straw and beaded bodice.

Jojo Robinson

The flamboyant RHOD star wore a lace and leopard print gown, showing off much of her tattooed body.

Ayanda and Andile

Season five newcomers Ayanda and Andile wore gold gowns, which, sadly, was not a hit if public commentary was anything to go by.

Kwanele “Fafa” Kubheka

Another newbie, Fafa, wore a gown inspired by the Baobab tree of life, which is indigenous to Africa, Australia, and Madagascar.
