The State of the Nation Address ceremony held under the theme: The Steady Path-Delivering on Our Promise, One Step at a Time, was not only a defining political moment, but it was also a celebration of style and confidence. The red carpet outside Parliament sparkled with glamour as Members of Parliament accompanied by their spouses, family members and distinguished guests arrived in breathtaking fashion. Each step on the red carpet told a story of culture meeting couture in modern elegance. Bold colours, rich fabrics and well-tailored outfits turned the entrance into a runway that celebrated Botswana’s vibrant identity. Members of the public also embraced the occasion, arriving in show-stopping outfits that reflected creativity and national pride. The red carpet proved that Botswana’s sense of style is as inspiring as the nation’s journey forward.
