RHOGQ star Liz Prinz inspired by Tyla’s Met Gala dress for Hollywood Durban July outfit

The highly anticipated horse racing event is set to take place on 6 July.


Real Housewives star Liz Prinz is gearing up for this year’s Hollywood Durban July with great excitement and a unique vision.

Liz is popularly known for starring on The Real Housewives of Gqeberha (RHOGQ) and, most recently, on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip – South Africa.

Speaking to The Citizen, the reality star shared her enthusiasm for the event and how she plans to capture the essence of the ‘Ride the Wave’ theme.

The highly anticipated horse racing event is set to take place on 6 July at the Greyville Racecourse in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).

“I like the theme. It’s the ocean; the ocean wave is very powerful, and strong, and it has strength just like a racehorse at the Hollywood Durban July. It is fierce, strong, and powerful.”

To bring her vision to life, Liz said she has enlisted a local designer from Gqeberha to create her dress.

“I have a local designer in GQ (Gqeberha) who will make my dress. I like being comfortable and showing off my legs. The wave of the theme is my inspiration.

“I wish the same designer who made Tyla‘s dress at the Met Gala could make mine. That dress made of sand is the perfect dress for this theme this year.”
