Couture and Cause Take the Spotlight in Miami’s Pre-Race Celebration
With its 10th anniversary underway, the Pegasus World Cup presented by 1/ST opened the season with the Off To The Races Fashion Show at Bal Harbour Shops, an afternoon that signaled the return of one of Miami’s most anticipated cultural and sporting moments. The pre-race event has become a destination for women who live and breathe style, offering a sophisticated glimpse into what makes Pegasus as much a fashion occasion as a sporting one.
The runway was a celebration of elegance and contemporary race-day style. Collections from Alaïa, Brunello Cucinelli, Chloé, Etro, Givenchy, Pucci, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, and Valentino moved with confidence, showcasing polished silhouettes, precise tailoring, and refined details. Each piece felt at once timeless and immediate, designed to be worn, remembered, and ultimately purchased in the post-show shopping experience, allowing attendees to carry the runway into their own wardrobes.
Belinda Stronach, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of The Stronach Group and 1/ST, was joined by Nicole Walker, Vice President of The Stronach Group, and Tiffani Steer, Vice President of Communications for The Stronach Group and 1/ST, alongside members of this year’s Off To The Races host committee, including Ashley Taylor Arguello, Kiki Barth, Marysol Patton, Isabela Rangel Grutman, Vice President of Style Saves, and Suzy Buckley Woodward. Notable guests included BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Miami stars Larsa Pippen, Julia Lemigova, and Alexia Nepola, alongside philanthropists, influencers, and figures from Miami’s cultural scene, all gathered to celebrate fashion, philanthropy, and pre-race tradition.
Philanthropy remained quietly woven into the afternoon. Style Saves, represented by Isabela Rangel Grutman, received a $15,000 donation in support of its work providing school supplies and mentorship opportunities to underprivileged students, an understated reminder that this event has always extended beyond fashion and sport.
As the 10th anniversary of the Pegasus World Cup approaches Gulfstream Park on January 24, the Off To The Races Fashion Show offered a measured and elegant opening where style, community, and purpose intersect before the first horse crosses the track. It is a moment that draws the women who make it part of their season, a gathering where sophistication, celebration, and Miami’s signature flair are on full display.
