Khanyi Mbau serves Edna Mode energy
Khanyi showed off her new hairstyle on social media, with the short, dark look immediately reminding some followers of Edna Mode’s signature bob.
The Incredibles character, voiced by Brad Bird, is known for her distinctive black bob, oversized glasses and fashion-forward personality.
Khanyi’s latest transformation appeared to embrace that same bold aesthetic, giving her look a playful yet sophisticated edge.
A familiar fashion icon
Edna Mode has become one of animation’s most recognisable characters since her introduction in The Incredibles.
The fictional designer is famous for creating superhero costumes while maintaining a famously no-nonsense attitude. Her memorable appearance and sharp fashion sense have also made her a popular reference point when celebrities experiment with similar hairstyles.
Khanyi appeared to lean into the comparison, playfully embracing the Edna Mode resemblance rather than shying away from it.
