On Friday night 18 August, the AHA Square Boutique Hotel very successfully hosted their seventh annual ladies only Sex in the City event. This year the theme was “Rio Carnival – Dress your Colourful Best” and both the host hotel as well as guests lived up to the theme in all aspects, making this surely one of the most memorable events on the Durban social calendar.
Each year the event is met with excitement and enchantment as the guests experience a mind blowing journey to the biggest party in a foreign country. The memorable night ushers them into a year of rejuvenation, in anticipation for the next celebration.
The theme was interpreted well by guests, who enjoyed all the activities set out in the programme. The women came dressed to impress in alluring Rio style glittering ensembles, with extravagant head gear and bold flashy eye masks. The venue was decked out in a visual splash of colourful drapes, exotic feathers, tropical flowers, and theatrical Rio centre pieces, which set the tone for a night in Rio.
A host of entertainment was lined up for the night from an Idol finalist, The Voice runner up, dancers, singers and celebrities from all over South Africa.
To round off the night, Sex in the City’s ever charming and vivacious patron, Jenny Pillay, handed over a cheque to Janice Benecke of Pink Drive, the charity of choice for this year’s event. Prizes to the tune of R300 000 were awarded to guests during the course of the evening, making this an even more memorable event for some lucky (and very well dressed) ladies.
One can only guess what fun, colourful and imaginative theme they will come up with for Sex in the City 2018, but whatever the theme, it is guaranteed to be another extraordinary one.
