South African socialite wears see-through sausage dress on the red carpet
South
African socialite and performer Nonhlanhla Qwabe, better known as Queen
Skolopad, attended the Feather Awards, South Africa’s version of the
Teen Choice Awards, in a clear minidress. What made her dress kosher for
the carpet? Packages of meat carefully covering her up. Wrapped into
the dress like a sausage, she carried a bag of charcoal as a clutch.
Clearly, she’s ready to grill.
“[B]oss
eat me,” she captioned a photo of the look on Instagram. She captioned
another photo from the event with, “braai me [I’]m urs.” A braai is a South African barbecue.

When
a reporter asked what inspired the look, she said, “pig meat,” adding,
“People have been saying beef. I don’t like beef, I like wors,” which is
short for boerewors, a South African sausage. She then implied that after the award show, she’d be putting her purse to good use at a braai, a barbecue joint.
The outfit could have something to do with a feud she has with another singer. According to the Huffington Post South Africa, Skolopad has used meat before as a metaphor for her relationship with fellow socialite Zodwa Wabantu.
“The beef is about to go from mincemeat to a new level,” she told TshisaLIVE during
a sit-down interview, according to HuffPo. “Zodwa has made it clear
that she has a problem with me, when I didn’t have a problem with her.”
Twitter’s reaction to the dress is almost as entertaining as the dress itself.

Is Skolopad’s outfit a visual representation of how society views women as a pieces of meat to be devoured for their own selfish sexual gratification.— Lukhanyo Vangqa (@LukhanyoV) November 9, 2017
is she a woman using her body in lamentation of the rampant sexual exploitation of the female form in the entertainment industry? https://t.co/cSOY0QTco5
