The weather gods agreed on Saturday. The sun was shining and the people came out to slay, joining the cream of the crop of Mzansi's celebs who flocked to Cape Town for the ninth instalment of the Veuve Clicquot Masters Polo.
The celebrity and influencer turnout for the event was impressive, considering the fact that it's a pretty busy weekend in South Africa (It's Pride weekend, the 13th Annual SAFTAs and Ultra SA). But Let’s be honest, most guests in attendance at the polo cannot be bothered about the polo game.

Model and South African reality TV star Blue Mbombo looked as if she'd stepped off the catwalk. Mbombo said she tried a different look this. "I know you guys are used to me in long dresses, I just wanted to do something different."

We look forward to what the Polo has in store for us next year, as it celebrates its 10th year anniversary.
