Fashion and racing came together in spectacular style at Down Royal Racecourse on Saturday 21st June, as Ladies Day at the BoyleSports Summer Festival of Racing delivered a dazzling display of colour, couture and competition.
At the heart of the excitement was the return of the Younique Aesthetics Clinic Best Dressed Lady competition – joined for the first time by the newly introduced Best Dressed Man, sponsored by Freddie Hatchet, and Best Dressed Couple, proudly supported by Lough Erne Resort.
Taking the top spot in the ladies' competition was Faith Amond from Carlow, whose show-stopping look impressed the judges with its elegance, originality and attention to detail. Her winning outfit featured a skirt from Emporium Kalu, Jacket by Irish designer Roisin Linnane, headpiece from Elite in Warrenpoint, bag from Roisin Antica found in a local charity shop and shoes from LK Bennett. She walks away with a £3,000 voucher from Younique Aesthetics Clinic to be used at any of their Belfast, Holywood or Newry clinics.
The judging panel – made up of Áine Larkin, Clinical Director at Younique Aesthetics Clinic, Rebecca McKinney, Cool FM presenter and fashion commentator, and Gemma Garrett, make-up artist and media personality – praised the incredible standard of entries across all three categories.
Commenting on her win, Faith said: "It’s such an honour to be crowned this year’s Younique Aesthetics Clinic Best Dressed Lady. With so many stunning outfits on display, I never expected to win – I’m absolutely delighted. Huge thanks to the judges and congratulations to all the other finalists."
Áine Larkin, Clinical Director at Younique Aesthetics Clinic added: "The standard of fashion today has been exceptional – a true celebration of personal style, glamour and elegance. It was a tough decision for our judges, but we’re thrilled to crown Faith as this year’s winner and look forward to welcoming her to Younique Aesthetics Clinic."
