Amapiano star Uncle Waffles made a fashionable splash at the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris on 24 June 2025. The event, part of Paris Fashion Week, was led by none other than Pharrell Williams, the creative director behind the stunning new collection.

Uncle Waffles turned heads in a Louis Vuitton Cotton Jacquard Vest, worth over R26,000, paired with a neat white long-sleeve shirt buttoned all the way to the top. She completed her stylish look with a short, curly platinum blonde wig, adding a bold, fresh twist to her ensemble.
The Swazi-born DJ and dancer was spotted enjoying time with Pharrell himself, and she didn’t stop there. She also mingled with American film director Spike Lee, Thai rapper BamBam, and cheered on South African model Lebo Malope, who walked the runway. Actor Miles Caton was also present.
But the real pinch-me moment? Seeing Queen Beyoncé in the flesh.
Uncle Waffles shared her excitement on Instagram, posting: “Mind you Beyoncé was there and I literally lost my sh*t internally because I’d never want to overwhelm her when she’s already overwhelmed. One day.”
Beyoncé attended the show alongside Jay‑Z, and the power couple didn’t disappoint. Beyoncé rocked a head-to-toe denim “Cowboy Carter” outfit, complete with a cowboy hat and heels, while Jay‑Z kept things classic in sleek black leather.
The event highlighted more than just high fashion—it celebrated culture, creativity, and global star power. Uncle Waffles’ presence alongside global icons like Beyoncé proves just how far the amapiano movement has reached.
This wasn’t just a runway show—it was a moment that connected music, fashion, and influence on a global scale.
