At an event at the Jockey Club in São Paulo, fashion looks with cropped tops, sequins and customized T-shirts drew more attention than the Brazil versus Japan World Cup match.
The match screening was organized by the Jockey Society restaurant in partnership with the Torcida N°1 box. Tickets reached R$ 1.000 and included an open bar with Stella Artois, Brahma and Budweiser beers plus drinks.
Attendees wore blue Colcci T-shirts handed out at the entrance, many of which were customized into cropped or one-shoulder styles with rhinestones and fringes. Women chose shiny pants, sequined skirts and high heels while men wore jeans and sneakers.
Brazil equalized through Casemiro and won with a Martinelli goal, advancing to the round of 16 on Sunday (5) against the winner of Ivory Coast versus Norway. The qualification was marked by champagne and hugs.
Many guests said they follow football only during the World Cup. The party continued with singer Henry Freitas after the final whistle.
