THEBE MAGUGU AND SINDISO KHUMALO TO JUDGE THE L’ORMARINS KINGS PLATE COMPETITION. – Fashion Force Africa Magazine

This Saturday, on January 7th, the much-anticipated return of the prestigious L’Ormarins Kings Plate will unfold at the Kenilworth Racecourse. The event promises a splendid day, seamlessly blending equestrian prowess with exquisite fashion finesse.

The 2024 edition of the L’Ormarins Kings Plate set against the enchanting backdrop of the event’s blue and white theme and the sunny atmosphere of Cape Town, a renowned tourist destination.

Amidst the thrilling lineup of races, including the much-anticipated Okapi Ladies International, the L’Ormarins Kings Plate promises an added layer of glamour with its renowned Best Dressed competitions.

Stepping into the role of judges for this prestigious fashion spectacle are the esteemed designers Thebe Magugu and Sindiso Khumalo, invited by Merchants on Long to infuse their international flair into the competition. The three coveted categories—Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Man, and Best Hat/Fascinator—encourage guests to showcase their style prowess in the elegant hues of LKP’s signature blue and white.

Not only do Sindiso and Thebe bring their discerning eye for fashion, but their presence also adds a distinctly ‘local’ flavor to the proceedings, elevating the event to new heights.

Fashion enthusiasts can anticipate an extra layer of sophistication with Okapi, the luxury leather brand, collaborating with Johannesburg-based hat maker Lyndon Miller Pegs to craft an exclusive collection of headwear inspired by past winning horses, featuring exquisite porcelain, feather, and leather detailing.

As the L’Ormarins Kings Plate continues to uphold its status as the most esteemed horse race in South Africa, attracting the finest jockeys nationwide, Fashion Force Africa eagerly anticipates capturing the essence of the event. With a history of covering this spectacular affair for many years, we are excited to witness and showcase the style triumphs of the Best Dressed at the L’Ormarins Kings Plate in 2024.
