5. The host of the night Queen B slays in every outfit. She definitely steals the show – the host with the most!

7. Not the best look we’ve seen on Dineo. There is too much going on, and she is drenched in fabric.

10. One thing we admire about Khanyi is that she’s not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to clothing; she is fearless. Somizi looks dapper in black and white.
