Ranil de Silva, Managing Director of Leo Burnett Solutions inc., invited a large gathering of people from many spheres to the elegant ‘Tintagel’, at Rosmead Place to a cocktail reception to welcome Jarek Ziebinski, President Leo Burnett Asia Pacific and Arvind Sharma, Chairman, Leo Burnett South Asia. The rooms were decorated with beds of red apples which is the logo of Leo Burnett world wide, and hydrangeas which is the flower most favoured by Tintagel Udyashanth Fernando. The event brought many a well dressed woman with the men for the most part in smart causal attire, with some of them more inclined towards the casual. The Leo Burnett staff made up for this with styles in all forms of dress joining those of the best dressed calibre such as Otara Gunawardene and Ramali Wijewardene who were both in Western dress. Otara had a sleeveless top in charcoal with a deep V neckline combined with a grey slim skirt with four stripes in black on either side at the waistline. Ramali whose birthday was on that day wore a proverbial little black dress which was also sleeveless and featured a U neckline. A tropical printed top in several colours a guest wore with little drop aqaumaine earrings. Kisani who is into the beauty business as she runs a Spa in a leading hotel had her hang-out top in sheer black she teamed with a greyed blue skirt, dressed up with a three strand necklace of jet beads. An unusual print made the dress Anushka de Silva wore. The bare shouldered dress had a saffron ruched top, and the skirt was in black with blocks of print on it. The skirt and top combination Barabara wore was most effective. The ecru skirt had thickly embroidered noses in black above the hemline, and the sleeveless black top was on simple lines. A broad belt and a diamond pendent on a black cord were the perfect finishing touches.

Saree was the choice of Shiromal Cooray in a fusion print of rainbow colour, and the CEO of MTV Shanthi wore a shade saree of Mysore georgette in a lovely shade of green. Black contrasted with a vivid torquoise in the saree Kumu Gomes wore with a black and turquoise necklace.
