Talking about the beauty queen's gown for the Miss South Africa finale, Harnaaz chose a bright orange-coloured ensemble. It has a deep neckline flaunting her decolletage, draped and embellished off-shoulder sleeves, heavily-adorned diamantes all over, floor-grazing hem length with a short train, and a bodycon silhouette draping the star's enviable curves.

An orange-hued, floor-sweeping, silk-satin cape-like addition to the back of Harnaaz's ensemble rounded off her look for Miss South Africa. The Miss Universe 2021 styled the ensemble with minimal accessories, keeping in mind the heavy work on the gown. She chose shimmering dangler earrings, statement rings, and strappy silver heels.

In the end, Harnaaz chose side-parted open tresses styled in well-defined curls, shimmery heavy smoky eye shadow, black winged eyeliner, kohl-lined eyes, mascara on the lashes, glossy mauve lip shade, glowing skin, blushed cheeks, sharp contouring, and on-fleek brows for the glam picks.

Meanwhile, Ndavi Nokeri won the Miss South Africa 2022 title last night. Ayanda Thabethe from Maritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. was the runner-up at the pageant.
