If you think you’ve experienced a festival before, think again.
There are festivals, and then there is The Luxurious Marble Circus.
Following two sold-out seasons that have reimagined what a South African festival can be, The Luxurious Marble Circus returns to Ground The Venue in Muldersdrift on 26 and 27 September 2026, promising two days of flavour, fashion, music, theatre, spectacle, creativity — and plenty of play.
This year, the extraordinary has a name: Evophoria.
I attended the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” last week, courtesy of Disney Studios Africa.
Two decades later, the heels are higher, the comebacks are sharper, and the fashion world is still as cutthroat as ever, but this time, it comes with a layer of introspection we didn’t quite expect.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn’t just revisit a cultural moment, it redefines it for where we are now. And as someone who remembers the original shaping my own views on ambition, career, and identity, this one felt a lot more personal.
The film picks up in a world that has dramatically shifted, digital disruption, influencer culture, and the slow death of traditional print media all form the backdrop. And right at the centre of it all is the still-formidable Miranda Priestly. But this time, there’s a quiet tension beneath her perfectly tailored exterior. The industry she once ruled without question is evolving, and for the first time, you sense that even she might have to adapt.
Last night, 28 April 2026, Johannesburg turned into its very own slice of Manhattan as the official South African special screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2 unfolded at Ster-Kinekor Eastgate inside Eastgate Shopping Centre.
Two decades after The Devil Wears Prada first redefined fashion cinema, the sequel arrived with all the glamour, elegance, and unapologetic sophistication one would expect from the world of Runway Magazine.
More than 500 invited guests, including media personalities, fashion insiders, celebrities, influencers, and industry tastemakers, stepped into an evening where fashion was not just worn, but performed. The dress code? Runway Ready, of course.
