In Pictures | Thuso Mbedu slays in New York

South African actress Thuso Mbedu flew to New York City to attend the 46th International Emmy awards.

Mbedu was nominated for the Best Performance by an Actress award for her role as the audacious Winnie on the Mzansi Magic hit show, Is’thunzi.

Although she did not win the award, South Africans remain incredibly proud of her.

Here is a gallery of Mbedu simply living it up in New York:

You cannot go to New York and not use the Subway. The traffic is crazy and basically a nightmare so this is the best way to travel quickly. 🚆🚆🚆 Travel Tip: If you will be staying for more than 3 days, choose the 7 day unlimited ride. It works out cheaper and you’re unlimited in terms of where to go. Remember to use your @capitecbank credit card and pay zero currency conversion fees. #ThankMeLater #Chapter27 #BecomingThePromise Hair by @onaturalwigs Snapped by @pixelkollective

Mbedu roamed the streets of New York in a striped two-piece with a white coat fashionably slung over her shoulders.
