Known for her elaborate outfits and striking red carpet appearances, Mutesi's would-be moment was unfortunately upstaged by Courtney's glorious green cape. 'The most Wicked thing to happen last night,' Courtney captioned a photo in which her billowing cape completely obscured Mutesi from the camera's view. 'Sorry Suzan!' Ever the good sport, Mutesi shared the same image to her own Instagram Stories on Monday.
