Sydney’s A-listers flock to Centennial Park for Polo in the City

IT ONLY feels like yesterday that all eyes were on the fashion stakes at the Spring Carnival. But over the weekend — it was Sydney’s turn to roll out the red carpet.

AFTER what was a rain-drenched night before, Sydneysiders weathered the morning storm in their finest frocks and linen suits to attend Saturday’s exclusive Polo in the City event.

Celebrating it’s 11th year in action, Sydney’s Centennial Park was awash with lace and pastels for the exclusive event — which turned out a star-studded line up.

Calling for floaty dresses and comfortable wedges, the event was a little more relaxed than what was seen at the Spring Racing Carnival earlier this month.

Myer ambassador Kris Smith was all smiles as he attended the launch of the summer polo season, arriving with digital marketer Bonnie Borland.

The 38-year-old recently split with his long-term girlfriend Maddy King.
