Vogue Williams and her four-legged friend.

Be elegantly irish at fairyhouse this year

The Carton House resort in Maynooth once hosts the Most Stylish Lady competition at the Boylesports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse this Easter Monday, 6th April. 'Elegantly Irish' is the theme of this year’s competition with judge and style queen Vogue Williams looking for a winning look that incorporates and showcases Irish style at its best.

As Ireland is renowned for its talented pool of home grown designers, from haute couture headpieces to sophisticated ensembles, ladies hoping to vie for the title of Carton House Most Stylish Lady are invited to creatively incorporate subtle Irish design into their outfits on the day, from a simple clutch handbag or an edgy headpiece to a Celtic inspired broach. Competitors should not be restricted by the Irish stereotype of head-to-toe green but should instead embrace colour, tailored pieces and truly celebrate their inner Irish elegance. From designer couture, boutique individuality and high street style - even the simplest of touches can attract the judge’s attention.

The Carton House Most Stylish Lady winner will win an €8,000 prize package from Carton House. Ladies hoping to vie for the title can register at the Carton House Most Stylish Lady marquee beside the parade ring in Fairyhouse, from 12 noon on Easter Monday.
