The winner of the Dundrum Town Centre Best Dressed Lady category will walk away with a prize package worth €10,000.

Don Nugent, Dundrum Town Centre Director said today “We are celebrating ten years of business and wanted to mark the occasion in a fashionable way. It’s an iconic day in the fashion calendar and we are really looking forward to being part of it and to be associated with our near neighbours – the RDS.”

Judges on the day will be model and blogger Pippa O Connor and fashion editor Bairbre Power. Pippa said at today’s announcement as she shared photocall duties with Lt.
