Ntando Duma: ‘What I ordered vs what I got’
In a video posted on social media, Ntando appeared ready, with her hair and make-up completed.
She said she had arranged outfits for herself and her husband, but her own outfit did not meet her expectations.
“I got an invitation to present an award at the National Film and TV Awards. I said, yes, I’m going to honour the invitation. My husband and I get outfits. Well, he gets his outfit right,” she said.
She added that she had asked a designer she trusted to make her suit and had provided a reference image for the design.
“I asked this guy that I trusted with my life to put together a suit for me. Butter yellow, it’s cute, it’s sexy, it’s classy, and elegant and I sent an Inspo.
“Right now I’m supposed to be there, and I’m actually the first person on stage to present the first award of the night. And I’m home. I’m going to show you what I ordered and what I got,” she said.
Fans and celebrities filled the comments with humorous reactions to Ntando’s outfit.
Lerato Kganyago commented: “Hear me out! It just needed a lot of snatching; I think he was on the right track.”
Apple Sithole wrote: “The song made the inspo outfit look good. Hear me out… if you carry a speaker around playing ‘Hello, It’s Me!’ really loud, it will look like the inspo.”
