The countdown to the 2025 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met is nearly over, and this Saturday, Kenilworth Racecourse will transform into a runway of unparalleled fashion.
The theme, 'Couture Unleashed', promises an extravagant blend of creativity, glamour, and individuality.
If you're still putting an outfit together, don't stress!
Here are some last-minute style tips to help you stand out in the crowd.
'Couture Unleashed' is an invitation to embrace boldness and drama.
Think statement pieces like voluminous skirts, structured shoulders, or avant-garde silhouettes.
Don't shy away from vibrant colours like electric blue, fiery red, or metallic gold.
If you’re opting for a neutral palette, focus on intricate detailing like embroidery, beadwork, or embellishments.
Go bold or go home.

Accessories can make or break your outfit.
Oversized hats, sculptural fascinators, or headpieces adorned with feathers or jewels are a must-have at the Cape Town Met.
Pair them with bold earrings, layered necklaces, or a statement clutch to elevate your ensemble.
Just remember to balance your accessories with your outfit to avoid overwhelming your look.

Your shoes should be as eye-catching as the rest of your attire.
While stilettos are a classic choice, consider experimenting with embellished heels, bold colours, or even platform styles that exude couture flair.
If you’re concerned about comfort for the long day, opt for stylish block heels or dressy flats that don’t compromise on glamour.
The theme calls for creativity, so let your hair and makeup reflect that.
Consider sleek, sculptural hairstyles or playful curls adorned with glitter or hair accessories.
For makeup, a bold lip or dramatic eye can instantly elevate your look.
Don’t be afraid to incorporate metallics, vibrant eyeshadows, or artistic eyeliner designs.
