Bonang Matheba made a bold statement at the Earthshot Prize 2024, where she co-hosted the prestigious event alongside Billy Porter.
The media mogul and fashion icon stole the spotlight not only with her hosting skills but also with her stunning dress that carried a powerful message.
Bonang took to social media to reveal the story behind the dress, which was designed by @biji_la_maison.
In her post, she shared the deeper meaning behind the ensemble, which was created to raise awareness about environmental issues and the urgent need for conservation.
“This dress serves as a creative expression to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote the importance of conservation efforts,” Bonang wrote.
“In this particular design featuring a ribbon representing water and rivers, along with a beaded dress symbolizing the soil, I tell a story of Earth’s precious resources and the need to protect them.”
Her dress was more than just a fashion statement—it was a call to action, symbolizing the Earth’s most vital resources and the importance of preserving them for future generations. The choice of design, with its ribbon representing water and rivers, and the beaded elements symbolizing soil, was a beautiful and creative nod to the theme of the Earthshot Prize.
