Caprice finds her belt buckle

International model and actress Caprice Bourret’s $1,5-million tanzanite-and-diamond belt buckle that was reported missing at a Sandton nightclub in Johannesburg on Wednesday morning has been found.

”It was found by one of her security guards in the ladies’ toilet when they retraced her steps through the night,” said Bourret’s spokesperson Andrew Sarr.

Sarr had earlier said that Bourret had offered a R250 000 reward to anyone who would help find the belt buckle.

It was suspected that the buckle had fallen while the 32-year-old model was dancing at the Taboo nightclub at the Tanzanite Foundation and By Caprice Lingerie fashion-show afterparty early on Wednesday morning.

”When she reported it missing, security people were called in. No one was allowed to leave the club and everyone was checked if they have it,” Sarr said. ”Now everyone is relieved and Caprice is ecstatic as she was very worried.”

The American-born model is in the country to promote her underwear clothing line, By Caprice Lingerie. — Sapa
