The first star-studded shindig on the Mzansi social calendar was a fashion fiesta at the L’Ormarins Queen's Plate Racing festival held yesterday at the Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town.

Blue was the warmest colour of the day, with A-listers such as Bonang Matheba, Riky Rick, Enhle Mbali Maphumulo, Basetsana Kumalo and Carol Bouwer opting for various shades of blue – sea, sky, navy and royal.

Mathebe donned a sleek corseted Orapeleng Modutle jumpsuit, complete with a dramatic train.

Rocking violet locks, Maphumulo kept it flirty and fun in a strapless Amanda Knots mini-dress.

Isibaya actress Nomzamo Mbatha flaunted some under-boob in a sexy, yet ethereal, look with a vibrant print designed by Vanessa Gounden.

It-girls K Naomi, Mbali Nkosi and Tumi Voster all kept it simple and chic in white.
