GALLERY | Inside Showmax's Blood Psalms star-studded premiere red carpet

Showmax premiered its fantasy series Blood Psalms with some of South Africa's most seasoned actors on the red carpet and starring in the show.  

Set in a mythical ancient Africa, the action-packed Blood Psalms follows Princess Zazi (played by Bokang Phelane) as she battles a prophecy to navigate her people through ancient curses and tribal vendettas. 

With the red carpet theme being 'African Opulence or Black Tie', the stars arrived in eccentric evening ensembles with a traditional flair.
