African News: Race day fashion in South Africa
High society gathered Saturday
for the J&B Met
horse race, the highlight of
the racing season and an
annual fashion extravaganza
highlighting the self-confidence
of the new black
middle class.
Thousands in beautifully
cut outfits thronged the
race course in the Cape
Town suburb of Kenilworth.
More eyes focused
on the competition for
Most Elegant Couple than
on the purebreds thundering
down the track in 10
afternoon races.
Simone Heradin, a project
manager for an art
company, said she was
proud to be part of the
growing ranks of Buppies
— black upwardly mobile
professionals.
Many of the invited
guests were more interested
in the after-race parties
than the horse races.
“I don’t bet,” declared
Basetsana Kumalo, who
was Miss South Africa in
1994. “I’m just here to mingle
and to have a good
time.”
