Former Miss SA slammed over wedding dress
Over the years there has been an on-going debate on what should and shouldn’t be worn to weddings. Although everything boils down to personal preference, truth is, when it comes to weddings, it’s not about what works for you, but about the bridal couple.
You don’t want to rub people the wrong way with your attire, or be accused of trying to outshine the bride by rocking up in a white dress or anything that looks remotely bridal.
Like former Miss South Africa, Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala, who became a hot topic on Twitter after posting a picture of herself wearing a white dress to a friend’s wedding. The white dress even had lace.
Many slammed Bokang’s dress and accused her of trying to steal the bride’s shine.

Surely it's inappropriate for Bokang to wear a wedding dress to another woman's wedding? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/QsYUIeVk4X
