Her red carpet outfit was by Jozi designer Matte Nolim, who says "Sheks and I had minus four days to prepare; she's a very genuine young lady, we could also say transparent. This was our second time working together on the SAMAs; dressing her teaches me a lot about women.

The 'Suited' girl in 'Rose Gold', how perfect?
Our Insta deep-dive dissected...
Anyone who has watched the music video Suited knows that Shekinah has mad style.
Her Insta speaks to a unique aesthetic with a love for '90s-inspired 'millennial chic' items like fanny packs, hoops, Dr. Martens and oversized attire, which are key to her look.
