Siobhan Kennedy from Tournafulla in Limerick was crowned best dressed lady on Style Stakes Sunday at the Listowel Festival Races on Sunday.
It was a case of winner alright for Siobhan who has been attending Listowel Races for 15 years but never won a ladies’ day title until now.
Her classic, full length black and white jumpsuit from Pure Boutique and a hat rented from Anne Marie Hats Amore caught the eye of judge, designer to the stars, Don O’Neill.
As the winner of Style Stakes Sunday, she was presented with a €500 cash prize as well as generous gift bags sponsored by McGuire’s Pharmacy and a pair of exclusively designed earrings by Mary Mulhall, Insh Designs.
The joint runners-up were Sheila Casey from Coolegrane, Brosna and Aine Wall Derrymore West, Tralee, who both won €250 in cash, alongside gift bags from McGuire’s Pharmacy and a pair of exclusively designed earrings by Mary Mulhall, Inish Designs.
Sunshine greeted racegoers on the course and the style was out in force, with the rain clouds kept at bay by the buzz and excitement on the day.
Judge Don O’Neill was out and about on the racecourse from early on looking for his finalists and after much deliberation, he selected nine women of all ages and four beautifully attired juniors.
Before the overall winner was announced, each finalist was interviewed on stage by Don with every stylish story only making his final choice feel harder.
Runner-up Sheila Casey wore a dress from Rose and Crown Boutique in Tralee and a headpiece by local designer Teresa Linehan from Brosna.
Aine Wall, the other runner-up, wore a headpiece by Cathriona King Galway, a suit from Canella Lane and a gorgeous bag scouted in her local charity shop.
