Politicians got out their best for the state of the nation address (Sona) red carpet, but it was Mandla Mandela and his wife Rabia who stole the show ... yet again.

While most MPs dazzle in luxurious designer dresses at Sona, the couple consistently serve up looks in the best dressed category by rocking different designs of their traditional Xhosa attire. 

Here are four times Mandla and Rabia cemented their reputation as the king and queen of Sona fashion:
