Glitz and Glam at This Year's J&B Met in Cape Town

Dressing to the nines at the J&B Met at Kenilworth Racecourse couldn't be easier, with this year's theme - 'Glitz and Glam.'


Mirror, mirror on the ball
… Where’s the biggest party of them all?

The 32nd J&B Met, South Africa’s biggest annual outdoor party, takes place at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town on 31 January 2009, bringing with it a sparkling theme of ‘Glitz and Glam’ that will be long remembered and celebrated.

It’s the one day that Cape Town, known for its spectacular beauty, is swathed in its most elegant, glorious and fashionable creations, and when race-goers step out in all their finery enjoying social soirees in exquisitely decorated marquees and picnic areas.

This year the fashion
theme ‘Glitz and Glam’ focuses on an age-old party icon, the mirror ball, which has been synonymous with J&B’s Start A Party Campaign that was launched globally this year.

The J&B Met guest list comprises the who’s who of South Africa’s glitterati, and what better way to live the life of a star for a day than being apart of the ‘Glitz and Glam’ of it all.

J&B Met fashion is something to behold! If you are selected for the last sixteen in the best-dressed competition, you stand a chance of winning some great prizes, ranging from a 7-night stay in Mauritius to jewellery to R10,000 in gift vouchers – all in the name of dressing up and looking fabulous your unique interpretation of ‘Glitz and Glam’.

And of course if you are going to go big this year at the J&B Met 2009 then do it in style with one of the many J&B Met 2009 packages on offer, everything from the very exclusive Champions Platinum Package to the Gold Circle Packages.

If you are carrying
some ‘Pocket Power ’, doing a ‘Great Rhythm’ in your soul, courting ‘Dancer’s Daughter’ or kissing your ‘Golden Dice’ for this years J&B Met, you will have to go with what your gut tells you in the betting as there is some tough competition with the horse favourites this year.
