Here are some top must-haves for the Met that are chic and can be worn to more than once.


If Fomo is starting to kick in and you’re itching to get to Kenilworth on Saturday but don’t have a look, all is not lost.

Thanks to same or next day delivery when buying from Superbalist in Johannesburg and Cape Town, you can just click and pay for your Met look.

If January turned out to be too long, why not incorporate the theme of this year’s race, precious metals, with accent pieces on a LBD (little black dress)?
