The title of “song of the year” is normally hotly contested each year, with music fans divided over which artist served up the year’s hottest track.

This year, however, things seem to be taking a different turn, as many tweeps are committing to DJ Zinhle’s Umlilo as their song of choice.

The song, which features vocalist Rethabile and Mvzzle, is so loved that it was recently certified multi-platinum at Universal’s Night For The Stars last week for getting over 5.1-million streams in just three months.

DJ Zinhle is definitely enjoying the love.

Dress like Miss Universe: style lessons from Zozibini Tunzi

Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi is a fan of vibrant African prints and statement earrings.

In celebration of Miss SA being crowned Miss Universe, we decided to dive deep into Zozibini Tunzi’s Instagram feed to see what fashion tips we could steal from the inspirational beauty queen.

Here are four style lessons to learn from her:

1. DON’T TRY TO OUTSHINE THAT SPARKLE

As befits a glam beauty queen, Miss Universe’s Instagram feed features no shortage of sparkle. When she’s donning a gown that’s dripping with diamantes, Tunzi wisely knows to let her outfit do the talking by keeping her styling clean and simple.

Remember, too, that sparkle has no time stamp: there’s no reason you can’t wear a shimmering statement piece for a casual day event, as long as you contrast it with something simple. Think a blingy top paired with jeans and cute boots, or a glittering skirt teamed with a plain shirt or T-shirt.

4. DON’T SHY AWAY FROM PRINTS

Vibrant prints will add interest and excitement to your wardrobe. Tunzi also uses them to celebrate her African heritage, both on stage and off.Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi in New York City this week.

If you’re new to prints, let the patterned piece be the hero of your look and keep everything else minimal — as can be seen in the beauty queen’s Instagram snaps below.

If you’d like to kick things up a notch, try mixing different prints in the same tonal range, or have fun marrying delicate prints with bolder ones.
