The standard of style today was really high, and the good weather brought out some great colour and headpieces, which was great to see.”
Adding to this, Gráinne Ross, managing director of Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa, said: “We are thrilled to continue our sponsorship of the Most Stylish Lady at Fairyhouse this year. As style sponsor of this great event, it was wonderful to be back in person today and see the style, fashion, and effort the ladies put in. We want to thank all the ladies who entered, they brought a real sense of occasion to the day.”
