The Essie Vogue feature is not the first of Enhle’s big moves abroad

The actress teamed up with local designers, Quiteria and George, to create one of the looks Beyoncé wore during her ‘Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100’ performance in December 2018.

“We did it!” Enhle wrote on Instagram at the time.

The emerald, crystal-encrusted look received rave reviews from international critics.
