Description
Bling it on and party at the Met! The New Year is well on the run and that means it's time to be seen at Cape Town's glamorous premier horse racing event - the J&B™ Met. Join the spectacle as twenty of the country's finest thoroughbreds go thundering down the race track at Kenilworth Racecourse. So dress to impress, bet on pretty horses and party the whole day with your friends at one of the biggest fashion and horse racing events in Africa.
Mirror, mirror on the ball … Where’s the biggest party of them all? This year the fashion theme is “Glitz and Glam” focusing on an age-old party icon, the mirror ball, which has been synonymous with J&B’s Start A Party Campaign launched globally this year. The country’s hottest designers are already hard at work, keeping up with the theme of Glitz and Glam and ensuring everyone looks the part on race day. Many designers also dedicate entire ranges to the J&B Met, turning one of the quietest retail fashion months into a true bonanza.
The J&B Met guest list comprises the who’s who of South Africa’s glitterati, and includes sporting heroes, television personalities, stage icons, Olympic champions, and celebrities galore. Another firm favourite with the crowd on race day is the choosing of the J&B Most Elegant Couple. This hotly contested parade offers a range of fabulous prizes for its winners, including an all-expenses paid holiday for the winning couple.
