Sun Met 2017: fashion inspired by decades of glamour | Life

28 Jan 2017

Carmen Williams

The Sun Met celebrated with Mumm, formerly known as the J&B Met, is always guaranteed to be a feast for the eyes with fashionistas and socialites bringing their fashion A-game.

This year's theme, Decades of Glamour, certainly promises to have interesting consequences since the possibilities for outfit choices are endless.

The Met, which takes place at Kenilworth Racecourse every year, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2017.

The Sun Met promises to "add to the thrill with an extra dose of elegance, sophistication, glamour and world-class entertainment the cornerstones of everything we do," according to their official website.

These are some of the great looks found on the racecourse today:
