written by Savanna Douglas July 5, 2023

Saturday 1 July saw the start of this year’s Hollywoodbets Durban July. With the theme being ‘Out of this World,’ a galaxy of our local stars showed off and showed out!

Although some outfits proved to be a tad underwhelming, here are some top looks of the weekend.

Best looks from Durban July 2023

All eyes were on reality TV star, mom and wife JoJo Robinson who drew inspiration from The Sun for her stunning Lush Boutique look. In an Instagram post, she writes:

“The Sun is a daily reminder that we, too, can rise again from the darkness.”

“Durban july 2023, I was inspired by the sun and the fact that she brings life and warmth to everything and everyone that she comes into contact with…Always be the light in a world filled with darkness…”
