Posing for photos that she shared on Instagram, Motsi showcased her beautiful dress, which featured a one-shouldered neckline, ruffle detailing and a delicate leopard print.
Styled by Sinead McKeefry, who also works with Claudia Winkleman, the professional dancer finished off her look with gold hoop earrings and smokey eyes, styling her hair into a high ponytail with intricate plaits.
