African Style

So "Yesterday" didn't end up with an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but I'm a bit disappointed that Leleti Khumalo's outfit didn't seem to make it to anything online either! Yeah, I'm that shallow.

I've been googling away to find a picture - any picture - of her red carpet appearance, after seeing The Dress highlighted on a magazine programme last week. Nothing. Not a single photo. Even though her dress was probably the most spectacular and roots-relevant of anyone's. And all I can come up with are these meager pics.

It was created by a South African designer and features all things African, including a good few porcupine quills and some Zulu beading. I would have thought that might have attracted a few cameras at the Oscars, but apparently they were focused on the well-known, the recognizable, the run-of-the-mill designer clothes. And poor Leleti missed out, on both the Oscar and the spotlight.

Pity...

FINALLY found a pic of the front of the dress - but still no red-carpet ones...
