It was the gathering of the most fashionable people you will ever see in the same room as the Modelling family put their best fashion foot forward at the Zimbabwe Models Awards last Saturday.

The event which was held at  Pablo’z Club & VIP at Sam Levy’s Village in Harare honoured various models from across the country and beyond as well as rewarding those that have contributed to the development of the industry.

The night’s headliner may have been the honours given at the Zim Modells Awards, yet everyone’s eyes were on the red carpet to see who wore what to the big night.

Mudziyashe Lodge was sponsoring the award for the best-dressed guest and the attendees donned some stunning fabrics and judging such an event is as difficult a job a horse commentary.

But there had to be a winner and it was the gracious Sibusisiwe Dube popularly known as Busi.

Dressed by Posh, her dress might look simple at first glance, but its beauty is all in the details especially the long-sleeved turtleneck.

It was its long train that caught our attention the moment she announced her presence up the Pabloz stairs.

Busi’s gown literally filled up the room as it was all you could see with the embellishment of the dress loud enough to silence all the others who all but looked stunning as well.

Models from different categories also walked away with accolades for the achievements they have made in 2017, amongst the winners was our Zimbuzz Editor, Michael Shoko who received an award for excellence in journalism supporting the modelling industry.
