Posted on by Molly Mwangi

Anele Mdoda looks radiant as she graced the Oscars red carpet.

Anele looked breath-taking in a dress by Juan William Aria.

She was the Mnet host of the Oscars.

She took to Instagram to share some of the hiccups she experienced before the event.

This Oscar’s trip was not without drama from someone in this picture getting detained at customs for two hours with my dresses to another losing their passport and posing a real threat of not getting accreditation but it was all worthwhile and successfully.

Take a look at some of the Photos

For Anele, this is a major achievement in her career.

“It is the biggest awards show in the world. I love movies, and anyone in entertainment wants a place at the Oscars.”

She looks forward to meeting actor Rami Malek among others, and even plans to take a selfie with Denzel Washington.

“The trick there is to talk about his wife – he loves his wife!” she jokes.

She also plans to meet Taraji P Henson who stars in What Men Want?

A huge Beyonce fan, she hopes to see Queen B also strut her stuff down the red carpet. “She does not do red carpets anymore, but hey. 2019 is bringing some curves, so who knows?”

“Hosting the red carpet for M-Net for one of the biggest awards shows in the world is an absolute highlight for me.

“I have watched the Oscars every year and the most memorable moments for me were when Denzel Washington and Sandra Bullock won, and when Charlize won – and gave South Africa a shout out.

“This year I look forward to celebrating with the Black Panther cast as they head in with seven Oscar nods,” Anele went on.

“We have to speak to Bradley Cooper and salute his directing for A Star Is Born, as well as his performance in it. We must also get Spike Lee – who has an honorary Oscar but has his first ever nomination as director for BlackKklansman, which you can currently watch on Box Office. And then we hope to chat to Mahershala Ali who was nominated for Green Book and of course Glenn Close for The Wife. We also can’t forget about Rami Malek and Bohemian Rhapsody! And then of course, there’s the fashion!”
