Best dressed at Horse Show
'It's a bit like falling in love'. That's how the judges described how they felt when they saw the woman who would go on to win 2025 Best Dressed at the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS.
With a €10,000 cash prize up for grabs, the stakes were high, and the lucky lady on the day was Nadine King, who stood out from the crowd in her green and white floral ensemble.
Judges Bairbre Power and Aoife McNamara said they knew the moment they saw Nadine, that they had their winner, because she just stood out from the crowd, and they fell head over heels for her stylish look. Nadine King – Winner of Best Dressed 2025 at the Dublin Horse Show

She accessorised her stunning outfit with earrings by Irish designer One Dame Lane, a Loewe bag, 'shoes from Zara, and a standout headpiece from AnedeCoco. Nadine King, from Donnybrook, winner of the Best Dressed at RDS Dublin Horse Show. Pic: Michael Chester
Chatting about her win to Evoke, Nadine said she was inspired by Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, and the Gilded Age
Speaking as the Best Dressed winner was revealed, judge Bairbre said: 'The standard this year was very high, but we both agreed that when we saw our winner, we exchanged eyes and said 'yes, we have her.'
'The runner-up is also a show stopper, they're both quite different in colour and how they put things together but we're really happy with the chic winners'
As Best Dressed winner, Nadine will take home a nice prize of €10k for her efforts today, but there were also prizes for the other fashionistas who impressed the judges at the RDS.
