The Style Issue, February 20, 2025

It was ‘An Evening in Old Havana’ theme, so not any little black dress would do!

The women upped the style ante on Saturday, February 15 as they swanned across the iconic black and white chequered tiles of the Round Hill foyer in their various interpretations of the 2025 Sugar Cane Ball dress code.

Think: Women in flowing dresses, men in crisp linen, lots of fiery hues, and polka dots accessorised with classic canotiers and reinterpretations of the corona de flores. And while the #StyleMoments were many, red and its myriad variations reigned supreme as the evening’s hottest hue.
