Our Favourite Sun Met 2019 Looks

written by Tiamara Singh January 28, 2019

Local celebrities looked stylish and beautiful at The Sun Met this past weekend. Known as Africa’s Richest Race day, the theme was fitting – African Luxury: Precious Metals. It was a feast of fashion, with everyone coming out in dazzling metallic, shimmer and shine. We’ve rounded up our favourite looks from the day.

Boitumelo Thulo (Boity)

Boity sparkled in a two-tone dress by Jessica Jane Design. We adore the oversized bow detail.
