Cape Town was transformed into a party zone over the weekend when the fun-loving and fashion conscious descended on the Mother City for a weekend to remember at the 2013 J&B Met.

Held at the Kenilworth Racecourse, Mzansi’s most celebrated outdoor social event transformed  The Mother City into a rainbow of colours and a fashion parade amongst the blistering heat and predictable Cape Town windy conditions.

Considered to be Cape Town’s premier social event, the J&B Met celebrated its 36^th anniversary, with an array of zalebrities in attendance.
