Marise is one of the most admired WAGs (wives and girlfriends of high-profile sportsmen and women) in the world. She’s living the dream life of love, travel and not being married to one of the highest-paid South African rugby players, but easily holds her own when it comes to style and fashion.

We take a look at some of her top fashion looks:

The beginning

Although the couple has been married for five years, fans still want to know what Marise wore on her wedding day.

Marise’s wedding gown is a well-crafted work of art, with a floaty satin bodice and a sheer low-ride back that is hand-beaded and timeless.

She wore a lower veil that was attached to her loosely pinned hair. The dress style is classic, and elegant and can be worn with confidence. She added pearl drop earrings to keep it modest.

Pretty in pink

Marise poses in a Fuschia Lenalisa flared A-line gown. The angular-shouldered gown has a large bow on the side, a tapered waist, and a wider skirt.

She embellishes the look with strappy orange square heels and an orange bag.

Her hair is slick and pulled back into a low bun.

The designer has created garments for celebrities such as actress Leandie du Randt and Mine Van Niekerk, the wife of Boks player Faf de Klerk.

Flower power

She wears a three-quarter floral dress with a slit and criss-crossed white slides during a trip to the Maldives.

The strappy floral summer dress is one of the strongest styles for the 2023 spring-to-summer season, and Marise is on trend.

She wears her hair slicked back and parted in the middle to draw attention to the outfit.

Sheer beauty

In a captivating image, she wears a sheer shirt, with a black bodice underneath, pairing it with light blue ripped boyfriend jeans and black ankle strap shoes.

One of her best accessories with this look is red lipstick, adding a touch of mystery to the overall look. The outfit is credited to ZOËT SA, while she poses with Anzél Rabie.
