"Strap your most fashionable hat on and take everyone’s attention away from the horses this Sunday!
The Poonawala Multi-Million is probably the most glamorous race day of the season after the Derby. With fashion designer Delna Poonawala in the family, the Poonawalas are pulling out all the stops to turn the event into an Indian Ascot.
“Being the year of the butterfly in fashion, I have added this element to my collection of hats,” said Delna Poonawala. “I hope it encourages everyone to dress well.”
A fashion show where top models will walk the ramp and show off Delna’s hats will give a taste of what’s in and what’s out. Delna Poonawala, Narendra Kumar, Kadambari and other eminent personalities will judge the crowd for the Best Turned-Out Lady, Best Turned-Out Gentleman and the Best Hat. Yana Gupta will join the judges in giving out the prizes.
Meanwhile, WEX brings you Delna Poonawala’s tips on adding that sizzle to your Multi-Million outfit this Sunday.
Suits are a must for men, though they can’t go wrong even on women
For the more flirty and relaxed woman, dresses of any kind – wrap dresses, sun dresses –
Corsets teamed with pencil skirts and trousers are dressy yet retain that formal touch
A touch of bling is acceptable with a diamante brooch or a horseshoe belt
Metallic colours like gold and bronze are trendy
Hats are a must!
The right personality is required to be able to carry off a big hat, but there is always one to suit every face shape
Hair-bands and combs with feathers, butterflies and a dash of bling have also become popular and are almost always best on petite frames.
Colour themes for hats are monotones – white, beige, grey and black – the only colours thrown in are red and pink.
A hat need not match your outfit: a white and black dress can be off-set with a pink hat.
Hats can be elegant and classic; hats can be fun to the point of bizarre and dramatic in size and colour – to each her own!
The main objective of this event is to live it up on the race course Ascot-style and have fun! So don’t take fashion too seriously, ladies, and just whip up a storm on Sunday with your headgear and – oh yes! Don’t forget to add that butterfly to your outfit!
