A group of Kenyan celebrities traveled to South Africa for a special event. The highly-anticipated Bridgerton Season 3 is set to premiere this May.
The red carpet premiere took place on Friday, May 3, with Kate Actress, Jackie Matubia, Izareeh, and Idah Alisha in attendance. Idris Sultan from Tanzania was also present.
The ladies were elegantly dressed as they shared glimpses of their preparations for the event.
This event is part of the Bridgerton World Tour organized by Netflix to unveil the upcoming season 3. The new season will focus on the enduring friendship between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
The official premiere date is set for May 16.
Jackie Matubia shared her photos and Kenyans could not stop talking about her outfit.
“Entering into the spotlight – unapologetically! Queen things! 😍 The theme was Regency Era Splendor! No one does it like @netflixsa @naijaonnetflix We came we saw & conquered! Season 3 #BridgertonZA #BridgertonS3 OTW!”
She expressed her excitement at meeting the Bridgerton stars saying:
“Kenyan Lady Danbury 😌👑”
Here are some reactions from Kenyans online
@Osama_otero: Mimi naona huyo Jackie Matubia ako tu sawa na dresscode…ama ni taste sina?
@iamjoseh: Hamjafurahishwa na dressing ya Jackie Matubia because she’s not showing too much skin or the outfit is trash?
@sam_makokha: Jackie Matubia amevaa poa sana imo ,nyinyi mnaona nini kwani hehehehe
@Its_Miriichi: Jackie Matubia decided to embarrass the whole country jamani
@mcpipita: Absolute fire🙌🙌🙌 We need more of these creative designs.
@MaggietheMezzo: I’m wondering if a pouffier ‘skirt’ would have saved this outfit? It would have fit the theme better, created a greater contrast between the pants & the mafiriri skirt thus making the outfit more visually appealing. I think a wider pouffier skirt would have improved this look.
@EnosQi1: Forgive us flood swept away the clothes she was to wear
@potentash: Did the Kenyans even try to understand how people dressed in the time of #Bridgerton? Women did not wear trousers. But Jackie tried somehow. Elsa looked like she was going to a different party. Their stylists failed them (if they have one).
