We haven’t missed a thread: who wore it best at #DurbanJuly

South Africa’s celebrity sweethearts flocked to this year’s major horse racing event, the Durban July. While the winning horse of this year’s July was defending champion Do It Again, the race was still on for the country’s celebrities to showcase their designs.

From the most extravagant threads to the simplest or nude-inspired outfits, South Africa’s favourites heeded the call for this year’s much-talked-about fashion parade.

We have compiled a list so you can judge who wore it best for yourself.

Of course, it would be unfair if we didn’t showcase some of the non-celebs who also put their best foot forward in terms of style at the Durban July.
