PICS: How to dress like a beauty queen

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters has made being a beauty queen in SA cool again.

Her win at the Miss Universe pageant has turned the spotlight back on the country’s pageant industry.

While the Miss SA pageant has always been a success, interest in the competition from the general population had died down over the years, and many people can’t name the last five winners if their life depended on it.

Whether you are a fan of the competition or not, there is no denying that just about every woman who has won the title is not only beautiful, but stylish as well.

If you want to look your best 24/7, then you might want to take a few tips from these fashionable Miss SA winners.
