Ever-evolving style icon, rapper, TV personality, and cultural powerhouse Nomuzi Mabena walked away with the Best Styled Artist of the Year award at the 2025 Basadi in Music Awards this past weekend, solidifying her reign as one of Mzansi’s most daring and influential fashion figures.

Whether she’s serving street style or haute couture, Moozlie has become that girl, an artist whose looks are as iconic as her lyrics. Her ability to effortlessly fuse fashion, music, and culture has made her a style muse for a new generation of creatives.

“I’ve always believed style is more than what you wear. It’s about how you express yourself, how you move through the world, how you carry the culture,” Moozlie said after her win.

“To be recognised by the Basadi in Music Awards for something that’s such a big part of my identity is a beautiful full circle moment. Thank you to my team, my dream team, my stylist Keketso Nthibane, my makeup artist Andi Ngcobo and every stylist, designer, photographer and fashion lover who’s ever been a part of this journey. This one’s for the girls who dress like icons long before the world catches on.”

From her viral fashion collabs to curated, jaw-dropping moments that set timelines on fire, Moozlie continues to carve a space for women to be bold, seen and celebrated in music, fashion and beyond.

As she gears up for her appearance at Zee Nation Fest this weekend, fans can expect nothing fashion fire.
