With the long-sleeved playsuit, Motsi wore a pair of strappy gold stilettos which elongated her toned, slender legs.
She also wore a matching belt which created the perfect silhouette and a pair of large square earrings.
She styled her hair in Bantu braids, a traditional African hairstyle that has been around for more than 100 years.
The hair is sectioned off, twisted, and wrapped in a such a way that the hair stacks upon itself to form a spiraled knot.

Motsi took to social media on Sunday to explain the hairstyle and its significance.
She said: ‘I feel a conversation should happen. At a time when Blackness, specifically Black hairstyles, are appropriated for fun by celebrities, fashion designers, and everyday people—because you know, Black hair is ghetto until Bantu knots, cornrows, or box braids, etc. land on the heads of Kardashians (no hate intended just facts) .
‘Embracing our hair is healing. Everything takes time. These here are called Bantu knots. Born and raised in South Africa we heard the word Bantu quiet a lot. The definition of Bantu relating to the African people who speak one of the Bantoid languages or to their culture.
‘The Zulu people of southern Africa originated Bantu knots, a hairstyle where the hair is sectioned off, twisted, and wrapped in a such a way that the hair stacks upon itself to form a spiraled knot. What is the difference??
‘The difference is that I have little eyes watching and learning one day my daughter will be old enough to understand and see her mom.

‘It’s personal at the same time there are many young girls her in Germany watching and seeing this on prime TV. They are also watching.
‘Will I ever wear a wig yes of course because she must also know she has the right to choose whatever she wants.’
Her fans took to the comments to share their appreciation for her words and perspective.
One wrote: ‘Love this! Even though I think we shouldn’t be explaining ourselves in 2021.’

Another said: ‘Thank you for always representing and being true to yourself representation matters!!! And you slayed sis.’
Earlier in the year, Motsi’s younger sister Oti Mabuse, 30, revealed that the pandemic meant she didn’t see sister for almost a year before their Strictly reunion.
The professional explained that before the 2020 series of the BBC dance competition began last Autumn, she hadn’t seen Motsi since the final of the 2019 series due to travel restrictions.

Oti lives in the UK with her husband Marius Iepure while Motsi is based in Germany with her husband Evgenij Voznyuk and their young daughter.
After Motsi flew home following the 2019 Strictly finale, the coronavirus outbreak in early 2020 meant the two sisters were separated until the 2020 series.
Speaking on Lorraine, Oti said: ‘Actually the last time I had seen my sister was the Strictly final in 2019 and because of the travel bans I couldn’t go over to see her on her birthday.
‘We usually celebrate together so because of Strictly that was the only family member that I could actually see.’
Oti capped off 2020 with her second Strictly Come Dancing win in a row, picking up the Glitterball trophy with her celeb partner, comedian Bill Bailey.
