We hear you and we're cringing with you. 

But these 10 looks spotted on the #SONA2019 red carpet do deserve a mention:

Pinky Kekana

The Deputy Minister of Communications' emerald green gown is the 'GJC canary yellow dress' of 2019. A sure win.

Desbo Mohono and Thandi Modise

MEC Desbo Mohono and the Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces look rather print-cess like in their chic dresses.

Adv Busisiwe Mkhwebane

The Public Protector dazzled in a B Mashilo Designs gown.

Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng

The Fab Academic lived up to her name in African print and a pretty pink hue.

Phumzile van Damme

Coordinating in gold with her sister Qiniso.

Vatiswa Bam-Mugwanya 

The ANC MP's glasses are an absolute vision. Pun intended.

Philisiwe Buthelezi

Minister Nathi Mthethwa's partner's dress in a flattering, standout orange dress. We love it.
