Skolopad's 'attention grabbing' SAMAs outfit cost R7.5k

Skolopad once again shut down the internet when she rocked the SAMAs red carpet wearing a semi-nude outfit that showed off her booty.

The musician became an overnight sensation when she wore a revealing yellow dress to the Metro FM Music Awards earlier this year. 

So Skolopad made sure she maintained that "standard" this past weekend.

Skolopad stole the show with her odd poses on the carpet and her signature "see my butt tattoo pose" which she credits as inspiration for her design.

"I designed the outfit and at the last minute Monadecious [Designs] did it for me. I didn't go with yellow because I didn't want to be predictable but of course my butt tattoo had to show so my 'serope ka ntle' (thigh out) design was born," she said.

• Kwesta feels like his time to be recognised has finally arrivedMultiple South African Award winner Kwesta was all smiles after the glitzy ceremony on Saturday night and told TshisaLIVE that after 10 years in the industry with zero recognition, his time has finally arrived.  

She wore a peach, semi-nude jumpsuit complete with a lace bodice and flowing chiffon draping over her shoulder.

Skolopad said the garment cost R7, 500 but the local designer from Qwa Qwa sponsored her and brought her design to life.

• SAMAs to change 'flawed' nomination system after Record of the Year controversySAMA officials have promised to tear up the rulebook and restructure the way nominations are selected for next year's awards, after two artists who made the cut were accused of not being eligible for selection. 

Never one to let a moment in the spotlight go, Skolopad is also set to release a song called Tlo boneng Skolopad which means 'come see Skolopad'. She said that she is still pushing her music and would do "anything" to increase her songs' popularity.

"I am here to entertain the best way I know how," she said.
