EVENT Audemars Piguet QEII Cup Gala Party
WHERE Kai Tak Cruise Terminal

HAPPENINGS: Horse racing is well-ingrained in Hong Kong culture, but there are a few standout events that everyone flocks to. Audemars Piguet's QEII Cup is one of them. A special cocktail party celebrated the annual sporting event sponsored by the Swiss watch brand.

Socialites and celebrities, including Cecil Chao, Karson Choi, Priscilla Ku and Kam Kwok-leung, dressed to the nines for an evening filled with attention-grabbing performances, including a holographic welcome performance and DJ Kid Fresh on the decks all night. Meanwhile, renowned soul singer Tia Ray serenaded guests with her sultry vocals.

Also in attendance were Albert and Pauline Wong, Gigi Ho and Mona Ch'ng, while the beautiful Rosamund Kwan was the special guest of the night.

OVERHEARD Jessica Jann Were there actual dancers in the holographic performance? It was like a scene from Inception.

Do you ride horses?
Occasionally, yes – mostly in Europe, though, because it’s so beautiful there.
