Lalela Mswane, the reigning Miss South Africa, has now been formally named Miss Supranational 2022. On July 13, 2022, she appeared on stage for the preliminary competition, and on July 15, she appeared for the final competition. Lalela looked stunning the entire time, and it’s safe to say that her outfits played a role in her victory.

 

 

 
Willet Designs Couture made the first dress. The pink dress has diamond-like glitter attached to it. On Lalela, it had a stunning transparent trail. She thanked the designer and mentioned that the dress was even made in her favorite color. She also expressed her gratitude for the designer’s passion in creating the dress for her.

The second was the South African national costume, which she wore to represent the country through her clothing. The outfit was created by Lloyd Kandlin and pays homage to the Zulu heritage as well as the vibrant and colorful colors of South Africa. The designer describes her crown, which was made of only pure black African hair and symbolized the strength of a black woman, as being made of her. In this attire, Lalela appeared to be an African Queen.

The outfit she wore for her third look was the one in which Lalela was crowned Miss Supranational 2022. The dress is understated but exceptional for the setting and performance. With a lace bottom and shoulder cape, it has a corset with a diamond sweetheart neckline. Despite being a nude color, the dress was still stunning and looked beautiful on Lalela.

Lalela has received excellent support from the Miss SA team throughout her participation in this competition. Lalela looked stunning in every outfit, and her national costume did a great job of representing South Africa. As the first Miss South Africa to compete on two international stages, she broke records on the global stage.

Well done to Lalela and the Miss SA team.
