Suzan Mutesi has taken her red carpet style game to outrageous new heights.
The Australian-Ugandan influencer, 37, turned heads as she channelled her inner superhero with a Wonder Woman-inspired ensemble on Tuesday evening.
Suzan, who was once labelled a ‘pest’ for ‘gatecrashing’ the Logies, made a bold red carpet appearance at a high-profile event with her unique fashion choice.
Dressed in a white long-sleeve Guess top, Suzan decided to pair her look with red leggings and striking silver underwear with sparking texture worn over the top.
She accessorised her look with a white coat draped off her shoulders, adding a touch of glamour to her outfit.

She accessorised her look with a silver sequinned handbag that she held while posing for photos on the media wall alongside Real Housewives of Sydney stars Nicole O Neil and Krissy Marsh.
Suzan’s customary ‘face-tuning’ and photoshopping of other photographer’s work was also on full display, with the social media star sharing altered pictures of herself to her Instagram account.
‘Sometimes the main photographer… will not bring their lights. So not all the camera settings are set to accommodate for a dark skin girl or other skin tones,’ she explained to Daily Mail Australia.

‘It depends also on the room. Sometimes the lighting in the room… like the room is beautifully decorated but it’s got shadows and its dark.’
Suzan, who was accused of photoshopping a lion’s head on her shoulder to look like Kylie Jenner in May, explained she often makes sure to use the ProRAW settings on her iPhone before having someone else take snaps of her from low angles.
She then puts them through apps like FaceTune and Photoshop on her phone to create a more enhanced version of her red carpet pictures.
‘It helps when you have a good foundation obviously. If you don’t look amazing you’re not going to get the best shot,’ she joked.
As for the dark smoky eye makeup which suddenly appears in many of her Instagram photos, Suzan said poor lighting is to blame.
‘That’s what happens when you have down lights. It dims your face, it doesn’t lighten it up,’ she said of her official red carpet snaps.
‘So when I brighten up that photo, it highlights the features and the eyes, but you can also go on PhotoTune and highlight your eyes in a way that heightens the liner just a bit so you see exactly how the eye is.’
Suzan revealed her favourite go-to editing app is FaceTune which she will often use for event photos when there is poor lighting.
She said the iPhone Photoshop app also makes it into her arsenal sometimes, but ‘you have to make sure you photo is in a good setting’ before you edit it in the app.
Suzan recently opened up about her Photoshop skills after months of making headlines for her highly edited Instagram picture. Left, before editing. Right, after editing
‘Having those settings before taking the photo helps you amp up your photo because you can’t just drastically go from one thing to the other unless you’re just having fun,’ she said.
Suzan has been called out several times by influencer watchdogs and media headlines for heavily editing her photos.
She often adds designer items or changes backgrounds completely so she appears to be living a more luxurious lifestyle than she really is.
However, Suzan likened her chronic photo editing to Chris Hemsworth becoming Thor for a movie, or Beyoncé sharing a professional glam photo of herself online.
‘Barbie doesn’t look like Barbie every day. She’s just an ordinary girl in jeans… Sometimes people will hate, but I’m a digital artist and I love it,’ Suzan said.
She added: ‘You’re not that person, but it just looks better on your socials and it just highlights that life better.’
