South African amapiano sensation DBN Gogo isn’t just a powerhouse behind the decks, she’s also one of the most stylish yet underrated fashion figures in the music scene. Known for her bold, trendsetting looks that blend streetwear, high fashion, and vibrant cultural aesthetics, DBN Gogo consistently delivers standout style moments.

Despite her impeccable style, DBN Gogo hasn’t always received the recognition she deserves, partly due to prevailing biases in the entertainment industry. As a curvier woman, she challenges the narrow beauty standards often celebrated in mainstream media, where thinner bodies are frequently equated with fashionability. Her recent nomination for ‘Best Styled Artist’ at the 2025 Metro FM Music Awards signals a shift towards broader appreciation of diverse body types and styles.

What makes her fashion even more impactful is her dedication to uplifting local designers, often spotlighting homegrown talent in her wardrobe choices (as seen in the image above where she’s wearing a custom Thebe Magugu).

She has collaborated with South African creatives and brands, such as participating in Patta’s “Each One Teach One” campaign, which emphasizes community mentorship and showcases local talent. Additionally, she has been featured in Era by DJ Zinhle’s sunglasses range, further highlighting her commitment to supporting homegrown fashion initiatives.

While slimmer DJs often dominate style conversations, DBN Gogo proves that confidence and creativity transcend size, serving looks that are as unforgettable as her sets. It’s time the fashion world gives her the flowers she’s long earned.
