Siobhan is queen of fashion at Listowel Races' June meeting
The three-day festival brought crowds to the famous Island for a mixed card of flat and National Hunt action.
The ever competitive fashion stakes produced the best in sartorial designs with the winning outfit going to Siobhan, who has been coming to Listowel Races for 15 years but never won a Ladies day title.
Siobhan's classic outfit showed a 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, Siobhan 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 of Inish Designs.
The joint runners-up were Sheila Casey from Brosna and Aine Wall from Derrymore West, Tralee. Both won €250 in cash, alongside gift bags from McGuire's Pharmacy and a pair of exclusively designed earrings by Mary Mulhall, Inish Designs.
Sheila wore a dress from Rose and Crown Boutique Tralee and a headpiece by local designer Teresa Linehan from Brosna, while Aine wore a headpiece by Cathriona King Galway, a suit from Canella Lane, and a gorgeous bag scouted in her local charity shop.
Judge Don O'Neill was out and about on the racecourse from 2pm on Sunday looking for his finalists and after a lot of 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 O'Neill, with every stylish story making Don's final choice all the harder.
The next meeting is the much anticipated Listowel Races Harvest Festival that takes place from September 21-27 with the McElligotts Kia Ladies Day taking place on Friday 26 September.
