The Sun Met horse race is the ultimate runway for celebrities and influencers. Even mere mortals will dress to impress at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town on Saturday.
The event’s chief entertainment officer, Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt, will be joined by GH Mumm’s master of celebrations Minnie Dlamini-Jones.
The Sun Met promises to fuse high-end fashion with top entertainment under the theme African luxury: precious metals. Hot fashion and a summer day in the Mother City does, however, take some preparation.
